Message bar is in the middle of my text message but moves up to top of phone when I attempt to type

Who knows what I did but now as I try to text the message box is right in the middle of the screen. As soon as I start to type anything it moves to the very top of the screen and makes it impossible to type and especially difficult to press send.

I am resorting to dictating messages but that is so dangerous, when you cannot pull the message down to review it.

It’s fine, just remember that force reboots/hard restarts are your best friend with Apple devices, for future reference all Idevices up to the iPhone 7 (so iPhone 4-se) hold the power and home button to force reboot those, any device above that, volume up, then down then press and hold the power/side button hope that helps solve any future problems you have, best of luck
