Spanish IPad Keyboard

I have a Spanish iPad keyboard, no trackpad. I cannot figure out how to get the @. It is printed on the keyboard. Does anyone know the key combination to access it?

You use the option key.


But it depends on which keyboard you have. Is it Latin American or Spanish ISO? The former is Option Q, the latter is Option 2.


Also go to settings > general > keyboard > hardware keyboard and tap over at the right edge to make sure you have the right one of those checked (and NOT "automatic")

I bought the keyboard in Latin America but it is a Spanish keyboard. When I changed it to Español it worked. It would be nice if Apple would detect the correct keyboard.

All keyboards are essentially the same except for the printing on the keys, so "detecting" which language one is for is not easy.


The correct setting to fully match keys with output for Apple's European Spanish keyboard is "Español ISO" instead of "Español", in case that becomes a problem for you.


Apple's Latin American Spanish keyboard uses the setting "Latinoamericano". You can tell this keyboard from the European keyboard by checking whether there is a key printed with Ç. Only the European keyboard has that.
