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?
iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 12
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.
Agreed, a very bad move indee.
Yes, it is indeed a frustrating and useless change to the keyboard. Apple has provided no method to change it, or a reason for the arbitrary change. I guess it’s Apple’s way of saying they have a new and “improved” keyboard layout.
This is such an obnoxious change! It’s like Apple just wants to prove they’re in control. There is no given reason for a swap in the key positions, and it is affecting the work of many people. Bad move Apple. Making me want to use only Android devices. 😖
I sent feedback. I’m glad to see that they listened.
