Providing a Screenshot:

Can you provide a screenshot, and attach it as a reply to this post. That might help. I am not certain what these "rectangular-shaped bars at bottom of screen" you mention are.


  1. Go Here: Take a screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support
  2. Blank Out: personal information on the image
  3. Click: this button*** on the bottom of the textbox, when replying (the first button in from the far-right)
