Why is the keyboard on my iPad mini 5 (A2126) blocking items as I type? Software 15.4.1

Since a recent upgrade or since I did something stupid, my keyboard is raised up from it’s usual position at the bottom of the screen. It blocks most things I am trying to type. I usually work in the landscape position. How do I fix it? I’ve attached a screenshot - hope that might help. Thanks!

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 15

Thank you for the screenshot.


Change the Keyboard Layout:

  1. Go Here: Add or Change Keyboards - iPad User Guide - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: "Change the keyboard layout. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards, select a keyboard, then choose a layout."
