arrow keys on iphone

I want to be able to use the Bluetooth keyboard and use the up/down arrow keys.

It seems that the Iphone on screen keyboard does not come with the arrows and the Bluetooth keyboard does, but it does not work.

Hello 76jgonzalez,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. If you're using a Bluetooth keyboard on your iPhone, you might have to enable Full Keyboard Access to control keyboard shortcuts. This resource explains how to enable this feature: Adjust the onscreen and external keyboard settings on iPhone - Apple Support


Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Keyboards, tap Full Keyboard Access, then turn on Full Keyboard Access.

If you have difficulty using an external keyboard, you can adjust the settings.
Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Keyboards, then tap any of the following:
* Key Repeat: You can adjust the repeat interval and delay.
* Sticky Keys: Use Sticky Keys to press and hold modifier keys, such as Command and Option, as you press another key.
* Slow Keys: Use Slow Keys to adjust the time between when a key is pressed and when it’s activated.


We hope these steps help you. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
