I want to turn off the little squiggle in the bottom right corner of the Messages keyboard (the one that activates drawing mode). How can I do this? Is there a setting?
(I know the keyboard in the bottom right screen turns off drawing in landscape mode, but I want to permanently disable the feature.)
This is the lock rotation icon. You will notice that when you turn your iPhone (say, in Safari) it will stay in portrait.
To disable it:
On iOS 7+ :
iOS 6
According to this article, there is no way to turn off burst mode.
This can be quite handy for catching just the right shot. However, for those of you that had learned to stabilize your camera by holding down the shutter button instead of tapping it, this can result in a lot of unexpected pictures. This feature appears to be enabled full-time whether you want it or not, so we'll all need to simply learn to adapt. Or delete. A lot.
Here are a couple of alternatives:

You can just delete the default Apple keyboard in the settings in favor of a different one. For example, you could download Google's keyboard Gboard, then go into the Keyboard settings, and delete the only labeled "English".
Hey presto, now you only have the Google keyboard, and it won't bring up the drawing mode whatsoever.
