When I start typing on my Bluetooth keyboard on my IPad Air, a small keyboard icon appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and I have to press it to get the predictive text to appear, it’s only recently started doing this as the predictive text used to appear automatically. I’ve tried restarting my iPad twice to no avail. Please help!
iPad Air, iPadOS 15
