On iPad and wider Duo windows, choose a basic or split keyboard when there is enough room.

The punctuation key types a period on tap and ? , ! or ` with a directional swipe. One-handed typing Hold the hide-keyboard key to switch between full-width and one-handed modes. Pro lets you adjust the left padding and bottom padding in the iPhone tab. Split the keys to fit your hands On wider screens, put the keys into left and right thumb clusters.
