iPad may also underline words you’ve already typed that might be misspelled.

Replace a misspelled word: Tap the underlined word, then tap the correct spelling. If the word you want doesn’t appear, just retype it.

Turn auto-correction or spell checking on or off: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard.

Shortcuts and your personal dictionary

Shortcuts lets you type just a few characters instead of a longer word or phrase. The expanded text appears whenever you type the shortcut. For example, the shortcut “omw” expands to “On my way!”

Create a shortcut: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap Add New Shortcut.

Prevent iPad from trying to correct a word or phrase: Create a shortcut, but leave the Shortcut field blank.

Edit a shortcut: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap the shortcut.

Use iCloud to keep your personal dictionary up to date on your other iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud and turn on “Documents & Data.”

Keyboard layouts

On iPad, you can type with a split keyboard that’s at the bottom of the screen, or undocked and in the middle of the screen.

Adjust the keyboard: Touch and hold , then:

•• Use a split keyboard: Slide your finger to Split, then release.

•• Move the keyboard to the middle of the screen: Slide your finger to Undock, then release.

•• Return to a full keyboard: Slide your finger to Dock and Merge, then release.

•• Return a full keyboard to the bottom of the screen: Slide your finger to Dock, then release.

Turn Split Keyboard on or off: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard.

You can use Settings to set the layouts for the onscreen keyboard or for an Apple Wireless Keyboard that you use with iPad. The available layouts depend on the keyboard language. See Apple Wireless Keyboard below and Appendix B, International Keyboards, on page 122.

Select keyboard layouts: Go to Settings > General > International > Keyboards, select a language, then choose the layouts.

Apple Wireless Keyboard

You can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately) for typing on iPad. The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must first pair it with iPad. See Pairing Bluetooth devices on page 32.

Once the keyboard is paired with iPad, it connects whenever the keyboard is within range—up to about 33 feet (10 meters). When a wireless keyboard is connected, the onscreen keyboard doesn’t appear when you tap a text field. To save the battery, turn off the keyboard when not in use.
