Hi Alma de Aventura,


If you'd like, you can minimize that by tapping the icon on the left side that looks like a keyboard, then tapping "Minimize." That option is available as sometimes you may need to use the software keyboard instead of the Magic Keyboard, as seen below:


"Switch to software keyboard 

You might need to use the software keyboard that appears on your iPad display, instead of the Smart Keyboard Folio or Smart Keyboard, to do things like type accented characters or use dictation. 

To show the software keyboard, tap the keyboard button the keyboard options button in the lower-right corner of the screen. In the menu that appears, tap the show keyboard button the show software keyboard button. To hide the software keyboard, tap the dismiss button the minimize software keyboard button."


That information, and more, can be found in this article: Use your Smart Keyboard Folio or Smart Keyboard with your iPad - Apple Support That cannot be disabled. If you'd like, you can view other keyboard settings in Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard or Accessibility > Keyboards.


If you have any suggestions or feedback about this, you can submit those with the following link: Feedback - iPad - Apple


Take care!
