iPad emoji and number key switched places
After the last update these two keys have switched places. Very frustrating to continually hit emoji key when I need to type a number. Any way to switch this back?

You may not be able to switch the emoji and number buttons, but you can get rid of the emoji button altogether. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard. In the top option (Keyboards) I had two keyboards listed. I deleted the one called “Emoji” and, when i returned to my iPad keyboard, there was a numbers button only. No more accidentally hitting the emoji button. Hope this helps.

Why complain, don’t you know that all technology companies know better than their user base 😁. What is kinda of funny is the keyboard here is set up the old way;too funny 👍. For clarification, I am no tech company fanboy they all have their issues.
Can someone at Apple please give me one good reason for switching the emoji key and the numbers key? It is very frustrating to be use to the Apple keyboard and then apparently for no reason other than lack of common sense for Apple to make the change without offering their customers an option of going back to the original keyboard. Please give me an honest reason and not some corporate boiler plate answer. Thanks. Bill
Correct, or the notification issues for an Apple Watch when using Custom in Mail, or the fact that Mail notifications has vibration set to Default, which is no vibration, or ............... But we got the keyboard fixed on the iPad. But it proves that feedback can work, since I'm guessing, looking at the number of posts on ASC, that a large number of people complained.
Only ONE of the significant keyboard issues have been fixed In 12.0.1.
Alas, Split Keyboard Password Autofill and Split Keyboard re-draw between landscape/portrait modes have NOT been resolved in this patch; both remain fundamentally broken. As such, the Split Keyboard is still totally useless on an iPad updated to iOS12...
Yes, it was reported as a specific bug through Tech Support - and a discussion initiated here.
Perhaps few have discovered the merits a the Split Keyboard that doesn’t fill half your landcape screen [when it worked properly]. As is, if your rely on Password Autofill to enter account credentials on a web-page from your Keychain, you’re currently foobar’d by iOS12...
if you turn-on the split keyboard on your iPad, you’ll find that Password Autofill is now broken - and if you rotate the iPad to switch between screen modes, the keyboard does not re-draw properly.
Ah. Good news😊
How can I do this? I went to my settings “update” and it said that my ipad was up to date. Is there a link to where I can go to get this update?
You still post feedback to the link I provided, regardless.
This is wierdx2. I’ve upped my phone and pad and the phone keyboard is unchanged yet the pad keyboard is switched as described above.

iOS 12.0.1 is OUT today?
Yes it is. It is being released at 10:00 PDT, depending on your location, and probably in shifts.
Great news to learn!
No mention of a fix for the Apple News app static sidebar issue when using an iPad in landscape orientation, though.
Yup,
Looks like enough users got Apple teams’ attention, for sure!
😉👍
Saw your post and downloaded today, yeah it is fixed. Thanks Apple; nerd love🤓
