Small keyboard on iPad with recent iOS update

Drag the bottom of the keyboard to the center of the bottom of your screen. Sorry it is a bit hard to explain. I think you found the floating keyboard option.

Hi there,

The floating keyboard is enabled. On the long dash - at the bottom of the floating keyboard. Place your finger on the dash and drag to bottom of screen. The floating keyboard should re-dock, it takes a moment to expand to the usual full lower screen keyboard. In setting go to General go to keyboard, there are a couple of settings re the keyboard. Also if you hold down the remove keyboard button at bottom right of the full keyboard a small menu will appear above that key. You can slide your finger up to any of 3 options, undock, split or floating.

Here is a GIF.

The other method is to simply do a two-finger pinch OUTWARD on top o the floating keyboard to expand the keyboard to full size.

Hi there,

Good to know that one! Easy.
