It is such a pain to have to type in numbers into a form because the keyboard always switches back to the letters. There needs to be a way to lock it into numeric keypad mode. It looks like the numbers when dial a phone number.
iPhone 12, iOS 16
The spacebar button is what takes you back to the letters. That’s not that hard to imagine - try it.
When I’m entering numbers (for instance credit card, phone numbers etc.) as soon as I press the space bar the keyboard switches back to letters. I want it to stay in number mode.
It would be nice to have the ability to complete my numeric entries without having to switch back-and-forth between the letters and numbers screen.

Unfortunately certain forms require spaces in between numbers (account numbers for instance).
I’m not looking for a work-around here, I’m looking to lock a numeric keypad in place until I’m done with my entries. Regular keyboards have them (they understand the need) why can’t apple come up with the same for their onscreen keyboard?
When you tap the numbers in the lower left here …
… thereby arriving at this keyboard, it’s hard to imagine what would cause it to “switch back to the letters”.
If that happened to me, I would enter the number (credit card or telephone) without pressing the space bar. Spaces are not required in either of these two cases.
Can anyone tell me how to add an onscreen numeric keyPad to my iPad / iPhone?
