Use Smart Keyboard with iPad
You can use Smart Keyboard, including Smart Keyboard Folio, to enter text on iPad (supported models).

Tip: You can use a trackpad or mouse along with Smart Keyboard. See Connect Magic Trackpad to iPad or Connect a mouse to iPad.
To attach Smart Keyboard, do one of the following:
On an iPad with a Home Button: Attach the keyboard to the Smart Connector on the side of iPad.
On an iPad with Face ID: Attach the keyboard to the Smart Connector on the back of iPad (at the bottom).
To use the keyboard, position it in front of your iPad, then set iPad in the groove above the number keys.

Note: If you close the keyboard to cover iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation) or iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation) while on a video or audio call, the call remains active, but the iPad microphones are muted. If you’re using AirPods or other headphones, you can continue your conversation.
