Text reversal on iPad

When typing an email on my iPad, I noticed that the entire sentence was reading backwards. It appeared on screen from right to left. I don't know what I did to cause the reversal, but I would like to have it reversed. (back to normal).

Hi Richdon2926,


Have you tried restarting your device to see if that positively impacts the issue you’re experiencing as it pertains to sentences appearing backward from right to left on your iPad?


If not, we recommend following the instructions in the link below so that you can give that step a try.

While a restart can seem unimportant, it can actually resolve many minor issues with the device.


If you can still visually verify that the text reversal persists after trying our suggested troubleshooting steps, provide us with specifics on what you see for more help, and we will continue from there.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
