Description

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to see the full text of my "About me" while editing it.

Actual behavior

The "About me" text field is a short field, like "name". This means it's not possible to see the full text.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Head to My Site > Me > Profile and tap "About me"
Note the text field is not long.
It would be better as a paragraph field.

Compare Android to iOS:

Tested on Samsung Galaxy S21, Android 12, JP Android 21.1-rc-3

Found during usability exploration: pdcxQM-1ff-p2
