Incredibly annoying Magic Keyboard icon

Has anyone solved this stupendously irritating problem yet?


iPadOS 15, keyboard icon hides text and o… - Apple Community


The suggested solutions on that page don't work and I cannot find any way to make the annoying, button-blocking icon go away.

The icon at bottom right of the screen allows you to easily expose the on-screen keyboard for input of special characters that cannot be accessed from the physical keyboard (e.g. emoji) - and access voice controls.


The icons cannot be relocated, but can be disabled from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Keyboard > [All Keyboards] Shortcuts - set to OFF
