Shortcut bar for Hardware Keyboard always hiding

Every time when selecting a new text box or starting to type in an app, the shortcut bar with the text suggestions hides automatically. I reopen it manually every time, but it does not remember to stay expanded. I started to recognize it with 15.1; before that I‘m pretty sure it worked fine.

Hello flexiruppert! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that predictive text on your iPad isn’t working as expected. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help. 


Apple provides the following resource to help with using predictive text: Use predictive text on iPad


Does the issue persist if you do the following: 


  • Restart your iPad
  • Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, turn off Predictive. Then turn Predictive back on. 


Make it a great day!
