Description

I am running iPadOS 16 Beta 2. It looks like something has changed in the handling of the keyboard, as Telegram is no longer raising the input bar to keep the input field in the visible screen area after the keyboard has been displayed.

Expected Behavior

• When tapping on the message input field in a chat, the field should move up to avoid the iOS keyboard.

Actual Behavior

• The message input field doesn’t move and is covered by the iOS keyboard.
• This also happens when using an external keyboard (see 2nd screenshot).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a conversation where you can type messages.
2. Tap on the message input field to focus it and to reveal the keyboard.

Just to report that I am also same issue on iPadOS 16, the latest public beta as of today (20B5056e).

Especially when Telegram is in Slide Over mode (this mode is available on iPadOS 15 too), using keyboard doesn't raise the input bar.

Same for me on an iPadOS 16.1 in Slide Over.

Yeah, it’s totally true, iPadOS 16.1 in Slide Over.

I have found a workaround that is able to fix it. Basically:

1. Enable Stage Manager, open Telegram and resize the window to a squarish size and move it to the center vertically. Leave some space on top and bottom of the window.
2. Click the text entry box and let the keyboard show up. Hide the keyboard. Don't touch anything else
3. Swipe up from the bottom to go to the Home page of iPad.
4. Disable Stage Manager mode
5. The bug in Slide Over mode should be fixed now.

Repeat the whole process if it ever happen again. You can refer to the images below too:

Thanks for help, I already knew about this workaround, and sometimes I used it. but I still think I need Slide Over things fixed quickly, because Stage Manager sucks……

Also, Stage Manager is not available on most of the current iPad models.

I see, I thought this bug only happens to those models with Stage Manager. Not sure Apple or Telegram needs to fix this, doesn't seem to affect other apps yet. Hopefully a fix is coming soon.

I can report that it doesn't work if Telegram is opened in slide over mode. Fullscreen mode works as expected but in slide over the keyboard doesn't raise up. Please note that my iPad doesn't support stage manager. Oh and I restarted the app itself and the iPad. It didn't resolve the issue.

See attachment video showcasing my issue. I cropped it to hide my contacts. Just in case it's hard to see that I went into fullscreen mode. RPReplay_Final1667936125.webm

I found a workaround for iPads without Stage Manager.

While in Slide Over, 'Float' the keyboard and then 'Dock' it. The text field in Telegram will slide upwards above the docked keyboard.

I can assure issue still happens in slide over mode, fullscreen or Multitasking are working as intended. I tried with other apps, and slide over keyboard works as intended.

Multitasking (working as intended)

Looks resolved in Telegram version 9.4.

[ylytkin]

Yep, can confirm on my device!

[SrBurner]

I just update now and, Success Confirmed!!

[Mondei1]

I can also confirm that it now works. Thanks Telegram devs, very cool :+1:
