iPad ios15

I’ve just upgraded to 15 and I find that the keypad now occupies the centre of the screen in pages and email clients. This makes it hard if not impossible to see what you are keying. Also it is now impossible to paste anything into a document text or pictures as the keypad gets in the way of where you want to paste?? What is going on and please fix this!

To easily return the new Floating Keyboard to the normal on-screen keyboard presentation, use the two-finger “zoom” gesture (i.e., the reverse of the two-finger “pinch”).


If the Split Keyboard is restored instead of the full on-screen keyboard, you can either use two fingers (one on each of the two half-keyboards) and swipe the two halves together - or touch-and-hold the “keyboard” key, then slide your finger to the Merge & Dock option and release.
