iMessage doesn't scroll up automatically when typing

Happens to me too. It stops scrolling after the eighth typed line.

My work around: Once your text has disappeared off the bottom of the screen, manually swipe the text up until you can see your last typed word. The cursor should be there and blinking (if not, tap at the end of the word). You can then continue to type from there and the screen will scroll as normal for as long as you need.

Obviously a bug that, hopefully, someone on this forum will see and address in a future update.

First this was a problem when typing in notes. Now when typing texts. Seriously, don’t remember Apple having as many bugs as the IOS 26.

Ever since the update to iOS26.1, I have lost automatic scrolling when typing an iMessage. I had hoped iOS 26.2 would have resolved this as it was noted as a known problem on a Google search.

However, iOS 26.2 has not resolved the issue.

Please advise when a correction can be expected as automatic scrolling worked flawlessly since the earliest days of iMessage.
