Keyboard freeze when using facebook comments

Thanks. I’ve been trying to figure that one out for two weeks and finally figured out it was the magic keyboard yesterday.

Facebook released an update which fixed the problem.

Same issue. I can’t tell if it happened when I updated to iOS 15.1, or if it was a Facebook update. It works fine if I’m not connected to the keyboard, but they keyboard will work once, maybe twice, and then fail.

Thank you Alan89, we had been on the phone with Apple twice yesterday and they did not know this solution. They sent us to Best Buy Geek squad and they were very nice and tried to figure out but did not know this simple fix of yours. Then Apple set up and appointment at the Apple store which is several miles from us. All the Apple contacts were nice but did not know this fix either. We really did not want to drive and still not get a fix for our problem. They were thinking it was the keyboard and wanted to place the iPad on a new keyboard in the store. Well that would have been a waist off time too. Thank goodness we decided to check out the Community and here was our fix. Again, thanks for knowing and sharing. You would think by now Apple would have known this flaw in the new update and let their users know.

I understand the issue of turning on full keyboard access, but I am not familiar with "commands" and the ability to view them. Can you elaborate? Thanks so much.

Don’t you see the Commands button on the full keyboard access page? Just tap on it.

A new problem with 15.1 download…I have an IPad Air with keyboard. When I try to type something in Google search, the Key board doesn’t work and I have to pull up the screen keyboard. The external keyboard works every other time ie emails, texts, etc.

Thanks for any help offered!

Thank you for the fix, but wondering if you have a fix for what happens when I use search engine like Google. If I turn the keyboard on it works for FB comments, but then I have to turn it off again each time I use Google or Safari. It’s really annoying having to keep changing it. Do you have this problem too?

I can’t help with that as I use Edge browser to open links in emails. I haven’t seen any problems between the keyboard & Safari though. I use a Logitech keyboard though. Is the problem with Facebook or certain/all websites?

Yes that same thing happened to me.

Thank you!

I tried that. Somehow I still keep getting blue boxes everywhere.

Brilliant, thank you 🙏

Thanks Alan, that is really helpful.
