Question

I am a making a small iOS web app with a chat feature. The problem is that I don’t seem to able to get rid of the tab bar that appears when I focus on my text field. That tab bar is absolutely redundant there, since is it taking up vital screen space and is not functional as I only have one input field.

Is there a way to make it go away somehow?

I’ve been searching around and it doesn’t seem possible. I guess in your scenario here, it makes sense for it to be hidden, but then you’d loose the ‘done’ functionality as you don’t seem to have a ‘Go’ option, which would be the best scenario for users?

To help you in your search, that bar is called the “Form assistant”. I really couldn’t find much except to say it’s not possible.
