You can't see what you're typing in the Notes with iOS 26

Ever since updating to iOS 26 there have been problems with the Notes app. If the test of the note you are typing is longer than where the keyboard pops up it blocks everything from that part of the screen down to the bottom. The only way to see what you're typing is to press the check mark like you're done typing or pull up the screen to see what was typed, although the keyboard stays there.


Only happening with the iPhone, not the iPad, that I have.

Hello,

My wife had a similar issue, and all the online suggestions did not rectify it.

However, I did notice that all her Notes were associated with a no longer used email address account.

Selecting and Moving all those Notes to her iCloud account's Notes instantly resolved her issue.

Wishing you a similar simple solution.

cheers
