IOS 7 - Retracting the SMS Keyboard

With iOS5 & 6, I could pull down the keyboard in the SMS app and the message thread would snap firmly at the bottom just below the most recent message, similar for example to tapping on an empty part of the screen in Whatsapp.
With iOS7, the momentum of swiping down on the keyboard always pulls the last message or two below the bottom, so I have to pull them back up to read. This is a very irriating bug and means it's simpler to swipe out and back in to the message thread, as we had to do before iOS5.
Has anyone else noticed this or able to reproduce it? I'm using an iPhone 5.

SMS uses the cell voice network, not cell data. Since the iPad is not an iPhone, and does not support the cell voice network, you cannot send text messages to non-iOS devices.
You can use 3rd party apps such as TextFree to send messages to other devices.

Will Apple please reinstate the 'bold' keyboard in IOS 7?

Could Apple please reinstate the 'bold' keyboard in IOS 7? The new keyboard is too pale and difficult to use.

In General>Settings>Accessibility there is an option for Bold Text, but this doesn't really affect the keyboard. If you want to make your voice heard by Apple, provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

SMS keyboard...

Is it possible to use the SMS keyboard in landscape mode? Seem to be able to use it when entering info in Safari but not when trying to type an SMS, wouldn't be an issue if I had small fingers....

There are apps for horizontal typing but they use email.
But give Apple your desires.

HT4623 I down loaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2 but because of the streamlined look my wife can bearly see the letters and numbers on the key board because of an eyesight problem She had no problem with the old keyboard. Is there a way to make the letter

I downloaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2. The only problem was, with the new system the letters and numbers on the keyboard became so streamlined that my wife had trouble seeing them because of a eye problem. Is there a way to get the old keyboard back and if not how do you uninstall ios 7?

I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

How do I move the alphabet keyboard on my iphone 5 iOS 8? It is stuck on my DropBox app., I can't slide the keyboard down.

As I open my DropBox App the keybioard appears adn prevents me from entering my password to access my DropBox content. How do I move the alphabet keyboard on my iphone 5 iOS 8? It is stuck on my DropBox app and I can't slide the keyboard down.

Well, as an AT&T user, APN settings are governed by the carrier file, and we cannot change them. I've not used the configuration utility, so I'm "dumber" than you! See if this support document will help you out any. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4839.

After upgrading to iOS 8.3, the keyboard has frozen up and I can no longer text or access my contacts. I've re-booted the phone several times, to no avail.

After upgrading to iOS 8.3, the keyboard has frozen and I can not longer text or access my contacts. I literally just upgraded to an iPhone 6, but I'm just about ready to can this phone and go with an Android. Can anyone help or have the same issues?

Im having the same problem. This started with iOS 8 and Yosemite. Im in a group message with 10 people with and without iPhones. Currently have 9 threads and when ever a new person responds a new thread forms. they all have the same people but in a different order, that may be part of the reason why iMessage doesn't recognize them as the same conversation.
As I'm writing this post 3 new threads opened and other people with and without iPhones are mentioning the same problem
hope apple can fix this. VERY annoying

you are talking about widescreen setting? I don't think it does that in texting. Hope it will be taken care of in a future update.

Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls

Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts using the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls tab. Has anyone a fix for this problem? If you want to try it out, do the following?
Dial a number from your iPhone Keypad. After cutting the call, try to save the number you just dialled to your contacts by choosing the new contact option. You will see that you will not be able to key in the name of your new contact.

Works fine for me.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

I have updated iOS 6 in my iPhone 4S and it went perfectly fine. Just after that when I opened the message app I found that the sms body of system generated messages was not visible after tapping on them.

Why where special caracters removed from the German keyboard in iOS 4.2?

Hi,
with iOS 3 you could access special caracters like è é etc by pressing the e key when using the standard german keyboard on the iPad or iPhone.
This is gone with iOS 4.21 - the only additional caracter is the letter ė.
As my first name contains the letter é this is very bothersome as I need to work with an additonal (french) keyboard layout to type my name.
Why where most of the letters removed, when will they be back?

This problem has been raised here a few times already. Nobody knows why Apple did this. You need to ask for a fix via this channel:

Since updating to iOS 8 my keyboard is blocking the area of text that I am writing on and will not allow me to scroll up. I am not using the split keyboard function. How do I fix this as it is quite annoying

I Have recently updated to iOS8 and now my keyboard blocks the area of text that I am typing in an won't allow me to scroll the screen up to see what I am typing. I am not using the split keyboard function

Hello there Smart43,
It sounds like you are not able to correctly see the message you are typing because the keyboard is in the way. I can understand how that would be pretty frustrating. I would start by quitting the running apps on your device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Updated iPad to IOS 5.0.1. The virtual keyboard has vanished and I can't bring it up.

My iPad software was automatically updated to IOS 5.0.1 and the virtual keyboard will not come up now. My bluetooth is off and was not paired with another device so I'm not getting an ambient keyboard being picked up. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Be sure that your SIM is not an old cutted.
Anyway seems a SIM problem, so I suggest to exchange with a new one at your carrier.
