Did you know that the iPad keyboard can be moved around the screen? Many owners of the “apple” tablet are not aware that the virtual keyboard can be placed in different parts of the screen, moving it up and down for ease of use. Depending on the situation, the keyboard can be moved completely or divided into parts.

How to move the keyboard on the iPad screen
It’s easy to move the virtual keyboard from one place on the iPad screen to another. For this:
1. Open an application on your iPad that uses a keyboard (for example, Notes);
2. Open a new document (note) so that the keyboard appears;
3. Press and hold the keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard;
4. In the menu that opens, select “Unpin”;
5. Touch the keyboard icon and drag the entire keyboard to the desired location on the screen (works in both portrait and landscape orientations).
This way you can drag the keyboard anywhere on the iPad screen, up and down. However, placing the keyboard at the top is not very convenient, as it can cover what you are typing.
The method described above only works with the virtual keyboard. If you’re using a physical keyboard (such as the one built into a case or a Smart Keyboard), simply place it on a table or other surface that suits you. The situation is even simpler with Bluetooth keyboards, which can be positioned however you like.
As mentioned above, the virtual keyboard can also be divided into two parts. This will allow you to type with only the thumbs of both hands.

3. From the menu that appears, select “Pin”, and the keyboard will return to its original position at the bottom of the screen.

Why is the keyboard out of place on the iPad screen?
If you suddenly find that the keyboard is at the top of the screen or in another wrong place, then most likely you (or someone else) accidentally unpinned it and moved it. In very rare cases, a glitch in iOS can cause the keyboard to move. Whatever the reason for moving the keyboard, in order to return it back, follow the instructions above.
It is worth noting that the ability to move the virtual keyboard around the screen is implemented only in the iPad. For iPhone users, a feature is available that allows you to type text on the keyboard with one hand (detailed).
