Left/Right Keyboard

iPhone 12 Mini on iOS 14.3.


I keep seeing videos on YouTube showing how to move the keyboard position on the screen.

In my case, it is to the left.


Since I'm right handed, I wish to re position the keyboard to the right.


There doesn't seem to be a way of doing this on iOS 14.3?


Was this present before 14.3 and the new update forgot it?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14
