It is available, but you need to set the display to zoomed, otherwise, the keyboard would be too small when split to be of any use.
Go to Settings->Display & Brightness->View, and make sure its set to Zoomed.
Then you can access the Split Keyboard feature as explained in the document you came from.
Fair enough, that does work. However, functionally is lost, etc... while the keyboards splits, the display is affected, and that not what I was looking to have happen. I would have purchased 10.5 if I wanted a smaller/zoomed view. Ty for the response tho
thats false. Text at the bottom of the very first image on that page says ‘split keyboard is unavailable on iPad Pro 12.9’
You will have to ask Apple why, as far as I know they haven't said and speculation isn't allowed on here.
Nope. Try it. It's there when the view is set to Zoomed. I've done it several times on my 12.9" iPad Pro.
