iOS 15.1 bug with magic keyboard and Facebook

Since updating to ios 15.1 my facebook app doesn’t work properly. If I click on a post the whole app freezes. I’ve tried reinstalling FB and rebooting ipad. Realized today that if I take the ipad off of the magic keyboard the issue is resolved! Any fixes for this?

I have the same issue, I went to Settings - General - Accessibility - Keyboards and turned on “Full Keyboard Access” and it seems to be working now. I saw another post that said this setting was changed during the update.

I would like to know if you have the same issues with the photo app and your Magic Keyboard that i have

Photos app freezes when I switch between days/months/years and scroll up & down a bit. It stops responding and I have to kill & reopen it.


This only happens when Magic Keyboard is connected. I have two 11.9” iPad Pros (2019) Can’t reproduce it when the iPad is not connected to the Magic Keyboard.

If the all access keyboard is on, my space bar does not work.

As was explained here earlier, to have your space bar work, you just do the following: After you’ve done the full keyboard access you then need to go to accessibility; keyboards; full keyboard access; commands; then activate and then clear.

I don’t want to allow all internet to access what I type.

The "access" being discussed here has nothing to do with the internet. It just means you can control your iPad with your keyboard instead of your fingers.


Let us know if you still cannot get everything to work right like others here have been able.

This is a serious issue that is impacting my ability to manage my home-based business that I use FB to promote. I cannot comment or expand comments on FB without it freezing the FB app. The work around suggested re: changing keyboard settings does not work because it screws the keyboard for other apps. The space bar doesn’t work and blue boxes appear around everything and the keyboard simply refuses to type after a few letters. This happened after the 15.1 update and it needs to be acknowledged and dealt with by Apple ASAP. It’s been going on for over a week now. FIX IT!

I have the same issue, so I did the fix of turning on the full keyboard. That fixed facebook but now I can’t type on anything but facebook as there is no space bar. You have to use some type of configuration to use the space key. Also a blue box is around everything. I would understand if this was an issue with other keyboards but not with the apple keyboard. When will this issue be fixed? Do I need to buy another keyboard from another company? Thanks
