Is there a keyboard hide button on the lower right of the keyboard?

Apple’s answer: Buy a new iPad Pro.

I don’t have one, but I’d have never thought of that. Idiot engineers at work.

Are you referring to the on screen keyboard? If so, there is a key at the lower right of the keyboard that will cause it to minimize. To bring it back, place the cursor in a text box. If you are already in a text box, there will be a menu bar at the bottom of the screen with the keyboard icon on the far right that will return the keyboard.

The problem is I can not type without using the online keyboard, which I was trying to get rid of. Finally had to call Apple, who thinks the problem is the smart keyboard. IPAD not recognizing it is there meaning I have to buy a new smart keyboard. Sigh.

But thank you for all suggestions on here guys.

No not the floating keyboard. I have a smart keyboard but it evidently won’t recognize it.

Buying one now, this one: I hope this one is good. It's on sale for 25 bucks, and the Apple keyboard for same IPAD is 149.98, major difference but the Apple one doesn't cover the front screen when closed. ?
