Question

iPad Magic Keyboard backlight not turning on. Keyboard Unit is working with a New iPad Air 4th Gen.

I see specs. relate that the Backlit Keyboard is a feature. I'm pretty sure that I did see it lit the last time I used it. Now it doesn't light up. I researched to find this reply...

'Like an iPad, the brightness of the Magic Keyboard adjusts

automatically to match the light in your environment. To manually adjust the

brightness of the keys on your Magic Keyboard, go to Settings > General >

Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard. Then drag the Keyboard Brightness slider to

the right or left to make the keys brighter or dimmer.'

However, my iPad Air 4th Gen. does not have a 'Hardware Keyboard' field and I see no Keyboard Brightness slider whatsoever. Any ideas??

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Hi there Rookie-iPad-84,

We understand you're not seeing the backlight on the Magic Keyboard for your iPad.

Get started with the steps here: Set up and use Magic Keyboard for iPad

If you aren't seeing the settings mentioned there, make sure your Magic Keyboard is connected to your iPad.

Also, restart your iPad and check again.

We hope this helps.
