No bluetooth keyboard support for phonetic Russian

When using the onscreen keyboard on an iPad, phonetic Russian is available as an option. But when using the Apple’s bluetooth keyboard — where the phonetic keyboard would be the most useful — that keyboard is not available. Requesting a fix please!

iPad Pro, iOS 13

Bluetooth Keyboard Inputs Wrong Keys When Using Bulgarian Phonetic Layout I have an iPhone XS Max, running iOS 14.4.1. I often text/message with a bluetooth keyboard while at work. When I switch my in-phone keyboard layout to 'Bulgarian Phonetic', the keys I press on the keyboard do not correspond with the ones shown on-screen, and the phone is instead using the layout of the 'Bulgarian Standard' layout. For example, pressing the F key should produce the letter Ф, however it produces the letter O, which is in that position on the 'Bulgarian Standard' layout. This is a new issue, as it used to work a few months ago. Anyone else experience similar issues or have an idea for a solution? Thank you.

Phonetic keyboard on Magic Keyboard Hi everyone, Recently I bought a magic keyboard for my ipad pro running ios 16 and I have been struggling with adding a phonetic Bulgarian keyboard. I was able to find only Bulgarian standard and Bulgarian qwerty. I also found some posts in the community from 2021 showing that Bulgarian Phonetic was an option. I really don’t want to put stickers on my magic keyboard but I still want to be able to type in Bulgarian. I would really appreciate your help :) Kind Regards Yoanna

With your keyboard connected, go to settings > general > keyboard > hardware keyboard and tap over at the right edge for Russian. You should then see a menu with several layout choices, from which you need to choose Russian-Phonetic
