The screen keyboard keeps popping up, interrupting and delaying my typing. How can I stop the screen keyboard from popping up? I have already turned off predictions and shortcuts to no avail. And I DO NOT want the mini screen keyboard either! When it pops up it again interrupts and delays my work.

Hi Mar,

Make sure your keyboard is in it’s typing position (looking like a laptop) and then go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the i next to your keyboard to forget the device.

Once forgotten, remove it and clean all the connections on both the keyboard and the iPad. It’s also a good idea to clean the keys on the keyboard itself, just in case something is trapped there.

Then pair it again and see if that solves the issue.

If the problem persists, remove all the non-Apple virtual keyboards like Gboard, SwiftKey, Grammarly and so forth installed on your iPad and restart. To find what keyboards are installed, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > keyboards.

HI Karen,

Try closing all your open apps and then restarting.

Close an app
1. On an iPhone or an iPad with no home button from the Home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen
2. On an iDevice with a home button, double-click the Home button and swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close
3. Swipe right or left to locate the app you want to close
4. Swipe up on the app’s preview to close it
5. Repeat for all apps
6. Restart

If the keyboard is still floating, look for the bar at the bottom of the floating keyboard and press & hold it and drag it down to the bottom of your screen–it should bounce into the full-sized keyboard.

If you can’t see that bar at the bottom, tap and hold the keyboard icon at the bottom right corner, then select Dock
