slide to type option missing in ipad air 5 th gen

Hi fe128,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!

Re: "slide to type option missing in ipad air 5 th gen:

the option delete slide to type was turned on. How do I enable swipe to type option?"

Seems "slide to type" is available on the "hidden" floating keyboard, but not on the regular onscreen keyboard.

Apple support's online article :Move the iPad onscreen keyboard - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Use a floating keyboard

You can make the onscreen keyboard float and move it anywhere on the screen by dragging from the bottom of the screen.

1. Tap in a text field to open the onscreen keyboard.
2. Touch and hold ,
3. slide your finger to Floating, then release.
4. A miniature version of the keyboard opens, which you can drag and place anywhere on the screen.
5. Tap keys or type by sliding from one letter to the next without lifting your finger (not available for all languages).
6. To return the keyboard to full width, pinch the floating version open."

All the best :-)
