“Typing in full screen” gets in way of full screen games on safari

Everything was fine until I updated my (6th gen) iPad to iOS 15.3 this week. I play games on this website and putting it in full screen makes it easier, but now whenever I put it in the full screen every couple of clicks I get a pop-up that says you are trying to type in full screen, stay in full screen or exit. And I’m not even typing. I am clicking the tiles in my game. I’ve closed full screen to check and see if my keyboard was open and it wasn’t, there’s no text bar where I was previously typing. How do I turn off this pop-up, it keeps getting in the way of my game and it’s un-useful. Obviously there was many people with the same question but no answer or way if disabling it.

iPad, iPadOS 14

Something here doesn't make sense - such as this week updating your iPad6 to iPadOS 15.3. Unless your iPad has been jailbroken, updating to iPadOS 15.3 simply isn't possible.


At this time the only signed versions of iPadOS (to which it is possible to update an iPad6) is iPadOS 16.7.1 - or optionally iPadOS 17.0.3. If your iPad has been jailbroken, you can expect to encounter unexplained issues and difficulties.



In absence of more information, the only viable advice at this time is to suggest that you ensure that you have updated your iPad to the current (supported) version of iPadOS. If your iPad is capable of update to a more recent version of iOS/iPadOS than is currently installed, these support pages outline both the available methods by which the update can be performed - and troubleshooting should you experience difficulties:

Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support

iOS update and restore errors – Apple Support


Be aware that while an iPad may be capable of update, in some circumstances you may need to use a computer to perform the update*. To do so, you will need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS). Ensure that your installed version of iTunes has been updated to the most recent version; the essential device drivers are included.

Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support

Update software on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes on PC - Apple Support

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the Finder - Apple Support


(*) If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.

If you have a beta profile installed, ensure this has been removed from your iPad - as, otherwise, installation of production software updates may be inhibited. This support page provides the necessary information to remove the beta from your iPad:

How to uninstall iOS beta software - Apple Support


You should note that for your iPad to install an available update, its battery must be charged to at least 50% capacity - and/or be connected to its Power Adapter. Similarly, the iPad can only be updated over a standard WiFi connection - or be updated by a PC or Mac using iTunes or Finder - over a USB connection.
