How do I turn off the onscreen keyboard on my iPad Air 4the generation (iOS15)

I have a Magic Keyboard but the keyboard doesn’t light up, and every time I want to type something my onscreen keyboard comes up.


I’ve turned it off and on. Remounted it. Updated to the latest iOS.

I want to simply us the Magic Keyboard, be able to see the keys.


I cannot seem to find the Accessibility keyboard combinations and this was probably put back to some default when I updated.


Appreciate the help.

Hi byronamartin,


Thanks for reaching out to us here in Apple Support Communities! We understand that your Magic Keyboard isn't working as you'd expect, and we're here to help.


If you haven't done so already, let's check the Settings app > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch and see if it's turned on. If it is, please try turning this setting off and let us know if you can increase the backlight on the keyboard. Learn more here: Use AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


All the best!
