Typing on an iPad while you’re holding it can be very awkward. The Split Keyboard tool makes it much less frustrating because you can type with just your thumbs. Once the keyboard appears, tap and hold the bottom-left keyboard icon until a menu appears. Tap the Split option and two half-keyboards will appear, one on each side of the screen and within reach of your thumbs. Tap and hold the keyboard button again, then tap ‘Dock and Merge’ to return the keyboard to its original position.

If you want to keep the keyboards at the bottom of the screen, touch it with two fingers and then swipe them away from each other horizontally. Reverse the motion to join the keyboards together.
