WiFi Keyboard and iphone 12 pro

How can I connect a wireless keyboard to my iphone 12 pro? The dongle for keyboard is with normal USB connector. Can I use a USB to lightening port converter?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

No. The dongle + Keyboard (bluetooth) will not work on the iPhone 12 Pro. What you need is a standard bluetooth keyboard (without dongle). Once you have the right keyboard then you can:

  • Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap on Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is set to On, then let it search for devices. Tap on a Bluetooth keyboard, when it appears, to pair. Depending on the keyboard, you might have to enter an authorization code. Otherwise, you'll be good to go.
