Running iPadOS 13.1 on my iPad 2017 but there is no Slide to Type selector available in the keyboard settings. Is this not a feature on my iPad model? Have not found any footnotes in the info on Apple’s websites about iPadOS 13.
Thanks in advance
iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi
The slide to type keyboard feature is part of the iPadOS small, floating mini keyboard that you can locate anywhere on the iPad's screen.
To turn the large, onscreen keyboard into the small, mini slide keyboard, bring up the large onboard screen keyboard and do a two finger pinch inward on the large onscreen keyboard.
Two finger pinch outward to re-expand the onscreen keyboard back to its original size.

Thank you, MichaelPM. Great explanation and it worked for me exactly as you instructed.
Many thanks.
Anything published online to show what features are available by model beside the footnotes on Apple’s page, which in the case of my problem described above I do not see.
No “Slide to Type” option on iPad
