Keyboard upside down on iPAD

When I search for something from on my ipad, the keyboard is flipped.

Step to reproduce:

  1. swipe left to go on the main screen
    (alternatively, swipe down on the main screen)
  2. tap on search


This is happening on my iPad since the ios10 update.

Is there a bug to track this?

Hold down the keyboard button in the bottom right. Select 'undock', then select it again and click 'dock'.


If that doesn't work try split.

I've had the same issue for at least 6 months. But your steps to replicate the upside keyboard do not replicate it for me.


For me, it appears to happen only after my iPad Pro has been on standby for a period of time (1 hour?), and then I use the downward swipe to access Siri Suggestions (and the search bar).


When the Keyboard appears upside down, the only fix (quickest) is to rotate the device to match the orientation of the keyboard, Swipe downward again (to access Siri Suggestions), press homebutton, then re-orient the device to the position you want. This re-orients the keyboard to the new position.


Very annoying though.
