Can you post a screenshot (no personal info!)? The message bubble only goes about two-thirds of the way across the screen. If what you're typing doesn't fit, it's moved to the next line. That's certainly not new.


Could you perhaps have changed the text size or the Zoom settings?


Settings>Display & Brightness>Text Size (also Bold Text)

Settings>Display & Brightness>Display Zoom. Set it to "default."


There are other possibilites in Settings>Accessiblity but start there.
