Why can’t I get Full-size Keyboard while using Apple Pencil?

I'm on my 2021 iPad Pro 11” and I most always use my Apple pencil for everything. Sometimes I want to use the full-size keyboard but I can only get the small floating one. It will not expand with the 2 fingers slide motion for anything nor can I click something that gives me an option to expand it. Can we not get the full size keyboard when Scribble is enabled or is that unrelated? It has been so frustrating and even typing this whole thing on the little floating keyboard is very tedious lol. No restart or software update has fixed this issue. Is it even possible to get the big keyboard while having the Apple Pencil out.. because if it’s not then I can stop racking my brain trying to figure it out ha. Not sure if this made sense but I’ll go for it anyway, Thanks!

Hi Ksnow4,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you're unable to enlarge your keyboard when you're using your Apple Pencil. If you haven't already, r restart your iPad. This will restart running processes. Also, make sure that your iPhone is running the latest software. This will provide the latest enhancements and security.

Try this in multiple apps to see if this affects one app.

Regards.
