New keyboard in iOS 26 takes up 2/3 of iPad Screen

The iOS 26 keyboard in Apps like “Messages” is so large it takes up 2/3 of the screen and doesn’t allow me to see what I’m typing. It is very frustrating to type through a whole message only to realize there are mistakes to correct only after I minimize the keyboard before hitting send. Can this be corrected?
