how to get rid of the small keyboard on ipad pro? I have an iPad to aid my vision and my awkward fingers. If I wanted a SMALL KEYBOARD FLOATING around, I would just stick with small iPhones. This “writing tool” is a major pain and a major step BACKWARDS. How can I make it disappear and return to the old half screen mode?

iOS 16.1 took away the apple pen tilt feature (writing and erasing) Just wanted to voice my frustration with the removal of the apple pen tilt feature when writing and/or erasing. Does anyone know if apple will bring this back? What was the reasoning for removing this with the new recent update? I hope they bring it back, its one of the biggest reasons I love using my iPad to write notes! Makes things super easy and efficient to use. Now its just annoying to have to do extra clicks/taps to adjust the size to avoid erasing too much or not enough.

The Apple Smart Folio keyboard is designed to be folded-back, if required, when drawing.
