If your function keys aren't working with the Folio Keyboard on your iPad Pro with iPadOS 16, you may want to try some of the following steps:


1. Check Your Keyboard Compatibility: Ensure that your Folio Keyboard is compatible with your iPad Pro and iPadOS version. Some keyboards may not fully support all function keys due to firmware or compatibility issues.


2. Check iPadOS Settings: Tap on "Settings" -> "General" -> "Keyboard" -> "Hardware Keyboard". Ensure that all settings are properly set.


3. Software Update: Check for software updates on your iPad. Visit "Settings" -> "General" -> "Software Update" and ensure that you have the latest version of iPadOS installed.


4. Reset Your Keyboard: Disconnect the keyboard from your iPad, then reconnect it. If it is a Bluetooth keyboard, you can remove the device from your Bluetooth list and pair it again.


5. Reset Keyboard Settings: Visit "Settings" -> "General" -> "Reset" -> "Reset Keyboard Dictionary".


6. Reboot Your iPad: Try turning off your iPad and then turning it back on again.


If none of these steps work, your keyboard may have a physical issue that can't be resolved through software troubleshooting. In this case, it may be best to contact the keyboard manufacturer or Apple Support for further assistance. To do so, simply select the "Support" link on the bottom left-hand side of this forum's web page.
