I just spent an hour with tech-support over an iPadOS problem. I’m finding that in a number of apps, when you go to enter text, there is no way to get the iPadOS to bring up the large on screen keyboard. When delving into Apple tech documentation, apparently it says that if you bring up the floating keypad, there is no way to enlarge it. There also is no mechanism to trigger, bringing it up, so in that situation, you cannot do anything, but type on the tiny floating keypad, which is very bad. Tech-support seemed unable to find a workaround for this. This is a serious flaw or bug in the iPadOS, IMHO.
It is erratic. In some cases, tapping in at a text insertion point will bring up the large keyboard on screen. In other cases, it will not. There is even an apple post that says you can enlarge the floating keypad with a two pinch out. This does not work. Yet the post is still up there. It occurs in Safari, Chrome, plus various other apps, but not Notes. It is not occurring in this forum.
Can anyone shed some light on this question?
