Numbers and symbols mixed up on screen keyboard

Why do when I tap on numbers (.?123 key) in portrait mode, the keys are all mixed up. I have the latest iPad OS 15.3.1 in an Ipad Pro M1 11 inch (2021)

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hey there, Edruu.


We understand that when you tap on the numbers key while your iPad Pro is in portrait mode, the keys on the keyboard aren't displaying correctly. Does restarting your iPad Pro help? It can seem like a simple step, but it can sometimes help resolve issues.


"How to restart an iPad without a Home button

  1. Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo."


Those steps are from this article: Restart your iPad - Apple Support


If the issue continues, please answer the following questions as it can help us determine possible next steps.


  • Does this happen in all apps or a specific app? If a specific app, please follow the steps inside this article: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support The name may not reflect what you are encountering, but the steps inside should help. You can skip step , because your iPad Pro is fully up-to-date at this time.
  • Do you use more than one keyboard on your iPad Pro? If yes, does this happen for each keyboard? If unsure, you can check in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards.


Take care.
