Keyboard is minimized in some apps

My ipad keyboard is fixed in left center of page and minimized. There is no bar at bottom. Spreading doesn't work. Rebooting doesn't change it. Deleting and reinstalling app doesn't work. What have I missed?

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 15

Let's try another basic "workaround". Try a "forced" restart of your iPad, using these instructions:

  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top (power) button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 15-30 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear).


If the issue persists, contact Apple Support, using this link:--> Get Support
