Hello Marabina67,


Since you aren't seeing the on-screen keyboard to input the name of the recipient, let's use the steps below to make sure that your iPad is all up to date:


1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
The Settings app on iPhone showing options to update to iOS 15.7 or iOS 16.

5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.


You can also find those steps in this resource: Update your iPhone or iPad


If your iPad is all up to date, let's restart using the steps below: Restart your iPad


1. Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.

2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo.


Updating and restarting can sometimes help address odd behaviors.


Should that still persist, do you experience the same behavior when using the Share button with other websites? How about when using other apps?


Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward from there.
