Why does my keyboard appear in the middle of my screen when I’m trying to type. I don’t know how to move it back to the bottom. And I can’t see what I’m typing.

My keyboard shows up in the middle of my screen. And I can’t see what I’m typing. And right now it’s a split keyboard. I’m challenged. Need help.

Tap and hold the little keyboard icon at the bottom right corner, from there slide your finger up to select “Merge & Dock”.
