Emoji iPad position

Just bought new iPad 10 and the position of the emoji button has swapped with numbers? Still have my old iPad Pro running iOS 16 but they haven’t changed? So, can I alter this somehow?.

You’re not the first - and unlikely to be the last - to complain of these two keys switching locations. When using different devices, muscle-memory often results in frequent selection of the wrong key.

The relative positions of the on-screen keyboard emoji/keyboard and alternative keys (.?123) are not configurable - the layout sometimes being different between iPad models and iPadOS versions.

While the layout is not user-configurable, Apple do invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. For iPad and iPadOS:

Feedback - iPad - Apple

Thanks for that. I thought it couldn’t be changed, but didn’t know it could be different for different models of iPad - ie my iPad Pro v iPad 10. Seems an unnecessary change, but that’s Apple for you. Again, thanks for quick reply
