How to make text data entry area larger?

[Chevy-SS]

Samsung S21 here, using Samsung Messages SMS. This should be a generalized question.

When I am creating a text, the data entry area is quite small. This means I often end up sending a text without reviewing it completely, and it has mistakes. Is there any way to enlarge the entry area so that I can easily see more of the text I am creating? I am certainly willing to move to a new SMS app, so long as no ads. I don't mind paying for the app. Thanks

Can you use a pinch-to-zoom gesture to enlarge the text size on the screen?

Thanks, I tried Google messages, which has the 'Pinch' feature, but the 'Pinch' only works in conversation mode. 'Pinch' goes away as soon as the keyboard opens! This seems totally counter-intuitive to me, but what do I know, haha.

Anyway, I have been using YAATA for a few days and I think my problems are solved. I'm just doing basic SMS texting, attaching photo, etc.... and YAATA works great. Very customizable too. Easy to see and enter characters. All good.
