Can’t format inline code on a French keyboard?

i wonder if it’s the french keyboard because i’m not so sure that is the correct back tic character on your screenshot. is there a single quote/tic button when you switch to numeric? that one looks like accents, not quotation.

i have an iphone 15 pro and did this on US english keyboard

like Moin said, you can still do it via the composer toolbar button .
