Russian phonetic keyboard on my new iPad Gen 7 uses cyrillic letters instead of latin ones. This doesn't make any sense - if I wanted to type in Russian right away without conversion, why would I need to use phonetic keyboard? Is there any way to bring it back to the Latin alphabet?
iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi
Apple's Russian keyboard layouts have never used Latin letters. "Russian Phonetic" means that the Cyrillic characters are arranged according to the asdf etc. system (асдф) instead of the Russian system (фыва).
I think what you are asking for is usually called a "Transliteration" layout. You might be able to find one in the App Store. Check out the Keyman app.
Or you can ask Apple to add one of these via

Could you post a screen shot of that? On my iPhone it is Cyrillic, but I am running the latest, iOS 13, and I can't check iOS 12 or earlier.
On MacOS, which normally uses the same keyboards as iOS, it is Cyrillic:
I would agree it really should probably be called Russian - Qwerty instead of Phonetic.
Hello,
Try updating to iPadOS 13.3 to see if it resolves your problem.
It is iPadOS 13.3. I bought it a week ago
On iPad, there is a choice between Russian keyboard and Russian Phonetic keyboard. I'm talking about the latter. It is still in Latin on my iPhone
I realized that I was completely wrong. Thank you all for your time and willingness to help.
