What is this bar and how do I get rid of it?

The iPhone messages screen has a stupid bar blocking me from seeing what IIm typing. It has a camera icon on the left and 0:00 and send on the right. I can't see what IIm typing how do I get rid of it I don't even know how I got it on there and nothing I touch fixes it.

Double press the home button and swipe the app up until it goes away, then reopen the app, it should be fixed.

  • Why does the volume bar on my iphone disappear and appear whenever it wants to? I have an iPhone 4. If I try and listen to music the volume bar goes away and when I try to adjust the volume with the + and - buttons the volume bar under "ringer" is gone. I've tried restarting my phone, fixing the settings, plugging in my earphones and cleaning where you plug them in and connecting my phone to my laptop but nothing seems to work.
  • Volume bar and sound on iPhone 4s? When I'm playing music on my iPhone the volume bar disappeares and there's no sound. Everything else works perfectly, it rings etc just music and media it won't make any sound. Any ideas?
  • Should I get rid of my iPhone and get a basic phone? I've had an iPhone for 2 years, and my contract runs out 9/2/12, should I get a 4s or a Pantech Jest 2? I want to save my dad money, and all I really use my iPhone for is music and Facebook. My friends say I should stick with my iPhone, but I don't know… Share your input, thanks
  • Iphone ringer and volume bar not working? A few days ago I dropped my iPhone 4s in a sink of water. My otterbox case helped protect it so i don't think much water got in but my ringer and volume is not working. I can't listen to music unless i plug headphones / speakers into it. I tried cleaning the dock connector with a toothbrush multiple times but no good.
