When you see that small keyboard on any portion of your screen, then you can touch with two fingers (anywhere on the small keyboard) and EXPAND it. That will turn it into the large on screen keyboard. At this point, on the large keyboard's BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER will be the symbol of the keyboard with a DOWN ARROW. Tap on that and the keyboard should disappear.
