iPad missing comma and period

I discovered enabling “keyflicks” in keyboard settings (general-keyboard) allows you to see the comma, etc. in portrait view. Annoying, but a workaround until this gets fixed.

I am experiencing the same thing as you. I would have never noticed this because I almost never use my iPad Air 2 running iOS 12.1.4 in Portrait mode. I NEVER use Portrait mode when I want to type. That is too unwieldy for me that way.

I am using the U.S. English QWERTY keyboard. Can I assume you are as well? The AZERTY keyboard shows the comma and period keys in Portrait mode.

I have the opposite problem. In Landscape mode, the comma and period don’t show up on the keys, but you can still type them using the ! and ? Keys. I only noticed it suddenly today.

• In the beginning when you select Comma and Period does not exists but...

Both in Landscape and Portrait mode.

Comma and Period will appear but as soon as you start typing a number or text keyboard will change
