My smart follis is not connecting with ipad

Hello Cotab,

We'd like to help out with your Smart Folio Keyboard.

The article you came from, If you can't connect your iPad to your Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, or Smart Keyboard Folio, is the best resource to help with this particular issue.

1. "Update your iPad to the latest version of iPadOS. Go to Settings and tap the Software Update Available notification. If you don't see a notification, go to General > Software Update to see if an update is available.
2. Remove any other iPad case or cover if you're using Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio.
3. Connect your Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard / Smart Keyboard Folio.
4. If your keyboard doesn't immediately respond, restart your iPad."
5. If your keyboard is not connecting, or if you're experiencing issues unrelated to connecting, contact Apple Support.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!

I have the same problem, keyboard won't connect to iPad Pro, says accessory not supported. Went through all the trouble shooting, took it to a "Genius" bar and was told "yeah it doesn't work, buy a new one for $250". No damage, well taken care of yet just stopped working and Apple aren't interested.
