autofill not working ios 15.1

This is definitely a bug that presents itself when using an external keyboard (I’m using Logitech). Auto fill always worked fine until this new OS version. I have confirmed that auto fill works when the external keyboard is disabled. I just upgraded to 15.3.1 a few days ago and have encountered so many bugs, including this one, which is probably one of the most problematic that I’ve found so far.

Note: Apple, if you happen to monitor these forums I’d like to suggest that you stop preventing users from rolling back to a previous version if they so choose. If the previous version is still supported and the current version is buggy and unstable, it is incredibly frustrating to be locked in with no ability to revert. I specifically backed up to my pc before upgrading for this very reason, only to find that you force an update after the restore completes. This absolutely discourages people from willingly installing your updates.

As a first step, a forced-restart of your iPad may be beneficial - as doing so will often resolve an isolated software issue:

• On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
• On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Just a quick update. I’ve found that the auto fill bug is most prevalent when using an external keyboard. However, I just discovered that it also happens, at times, even when an external keyboard is not connected.

If you are presented with autofill information within the on-screen keyboard, then yes, Autofill is working as expected.

I have the samee issue Nancy and it started showing with it was upgraded to ios 15.1 - so for sure it has something to do with the OS upgrade as it used to worked before with no problems at all.

This is due to the upgrade to ios15.1 which has deactivated accessory keyboard functions such as the cursor keys. I never needed to access the virtual keyboard to have the autofil functions work. They worked regardless of having an external keyboard.

please fix the upgrade fail with regard to your Apple keyboard and Logitech keyboards.

I agree. autofill should work even if there are external keyboards that are connected. In fact its an Apple Keyboar that I use, so it is reasonable to expect that it should work seamlesslely. Apple, pls fix it.
