How to use the split-keyboard feature on iPadOn iPad, you can split your keyboard so you can thumb-type instead of trying to type like a computer. You can also move your keyboard around on the screen for even more typing customization.

If you prefer using the screen to type on your iPad or iPad Pro, you aren't restricted to just using the keys at the bottom of the screen ... or even as one full keyboard.

Note: Split keyboard is not supported on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
