Q: iOS10 iPad keyboard hangs
I have had several occasions in the past few days where the landscape mode keyboard on my iPad Air 2 hangs, including:
- Only came up 3/4 of the way, and no buttons worked
- Would not switch between ABC and 123 versions, but the active keyboard still worked
- Keyboard was up all the way but no buttons worked
I think these were all in Safari, but could have been in other chat apps or Notes. I have not had it happen on my iPhone 6s, but it it is tied to the landscape keyboard, probably would not see it there.
In at least one case (the first one above), backgrounding the app and coming back solved things. In other cases, had to kill and relaunch the app. It is just the keyboard affected; I have been able to do things like save a draft of a webmail I was writing, or copy/paste the text box content to not lose what I was doing.
- Is this a known issue? (Does not seem related to the Bitmoji keyboard problem.)
- Any ideas for solutions?
