Enlarged onscreen keyboard in iPadOS 26 on iPad



[Edited by Moderator]

Original Title: IOS 26 on IPad. The onscreen keypad is taking up two thirds or more of the screen. The buttons are huge, expect space bar which is only about two keys wide. Is it a bug or a PICNIC

iPad Pro, iPadOS 26

This is a bug related to setting “Display Zoom” = “Larger Text” (under Display & Brightness).

If you change Display Zoom to Default the full keyboard is quite smaller and the keys are normally sized, including Spacebar.

I normally use “Larger Text” and this is extremely annoying, they should fix it. The bug is still present in 26.1.
