How can I disable the Black Text box on iPhone I have a new iPhone running iOS 18.1.1 Whenever I am typing there is an additional black box with the text I am inputting. The normal Text is seen in the normal place, but there is an additional text box in black with a white border and white text. What is it for ? How do I get rid of it? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

White bar shows up every time I type in my iPhone 16 I think I accidentally added something in settings late last night on my iPhone 16. Now a white bar shows up every time I type. I can slide it to either side to read my text so I thought it was a privacy setting? [Re-Titled By Moderator]
