On the on-screen keyboard, touch the keyboard-key at bottom-right of the keyboard - and slide your finger to Dock or Dock & Merge before lifting your finger from the screen
You should now have the full on-screen keyboard visible on the screen - and this will be anchored to the bottom of the screen.

Hold the keyboard and drag it back down
Thank you so much, I tried so many different options and this is the one that worked for me! I couldn’t do anything without typing, hiding keyboard, and typing again, and hiding again to type again, just to make sure that I was typing what I wanted to! Let’s just say I was frustrated to say the least!
Thank you, but this did not work
You're very welcome 🙂
