S9 - Keyboard is covering text field in Instagram?

[Android Central Question]

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Instagram, changing keyboards & screen/font size. App is up to date. Instagram functioned normally for me until I updated my OS to PIE.

Theme is default

If I remember correctly (not a safe bet), this problem seems to go away for some apps by forcing the Android navigation bar to be shown at the bottom of the screen.

How do you force it to stay? I thought that might be the issue but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

In Android 8, there is a small toggle switch on the left side of the bar. Tap that to lock it in place.
Android 9 does it differently from what I have read.
