I recently acquired a fifth generation iPad, and things are going pretty great. However, one of the features that I really enjoy on my iPhone is the swipe keyboard, and it hasn’t seemed to be working on this iPad. I recently found out that it does work on tinder, but I can’t seem to get it to work on any other app. Why would it work on tinder and not on the rest of the iPad? Does anybody have any solutions to fix it?

Hi, anonymousidiot.
We certainly understand wanting to use QuickPath to easily type with all your iPad apps, it can be incredibly efficient.
Keep in mind that each app ultimately controls the way it interacts with your iPadOS system software, so there may be changes in basic functionality from app to app. That being said, you should be able to use QuickPath in all supported apps by shrinking the keyboard. Try it out!
Use two fingers to pinch on the keyboard to bring up a smaller version, then try typing by siding from one letter to the next without lifting your finger.
