They really didn’t have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don’t need another pop up in my life.
I don’t know how to edit the main post on mobile so I’ll just add this comment. The message I typed in the screenshot populates in a “pop up bar”. The message no longer gets entered where you think it should go and it looks like shit and takes up extra screen space for no reason. I really dislike this change.
I like it. Previously it would hide a bunch of icons to give the bar more space, now it doesn’t need to
From what I noticed they only added an emoji button though. This already is on my keyboard area. Maybe I’m missing something but at least you enjoy it.
The text lines up with the recipient’s text bubbles. It’s on the left, and it’s left justified, so it’s under the other person’s messages, rather than mine.
I could have sworn the old UI had the text entry closer to the right.
If I had wanted all the extra bull shit that came with these updates I’d have bought an iPhone.
Okay, so I’m not crazy. I started seeing this today, and I had to stop and think “Wait, was this always here?”
