Hi turtle,

Thanks for flagging that. Just to clarify, is it an issue with the iOS or the way it interacts with the app?

It's the way it interacts with the app. The White space for the text you're writing isn't making allowances for the new predictive text bar. So the text you're writing is hidden behind the smiley faces and you can't see it...

I've got the same problem and came on to post this exact thread! It's driving me crazy, it won't let me click on the end of the post so I can't see what I'm typing! Help!

This is still happening and is making posting within the app impossible. I'm having to write in notepad on my phone and copy and paste! Also the app keeps crashing! Hmm
