iPad keyboard

My iPad keyboard has not been working properly since the last upgrade. It covers the screen where I want to be typing, for example the place where I write a text to somebody. I can’t see what I’m writing even now. Anybody else? I’ve had this iPad since 2018.

iPad, 16

On the on-screen keyboard, touch the keyboard-key at bottom-right of the keyboard - and slide your finger to Dock or Dock & Merge before lifting your finger from the screen


You should now have the full on-screen keyboard visible on the screen - and this will be anchored to the bottom of the screen.
