iPad Bluetooth Keyboard: Connect your iOS device to a keyboard

Connecting your iPad to a keyboard via Bluetooth makes typing on the device easier. Apple offers such a keyboard itself with the Magic Keyboard. Once the keyboard is registered, it will automatically connect to the iPad in the future.

Bluetooth keyboard on iPad: use the Magic Keyboard

If you prefer to work with a keyboard on your iPad instead of the on-screen keyboard, you can connect an appropriate device to your iPad via Bluetooth. Apple offers you the Magic Keyboard for this purpose. This keyboard transforms your iPad into a notebook, because it is not only a keyboard, but also a holder. However, the price of the Apple original is correspondingly expensive. Significantly cheaper models, on the other hand, are available from third-party suppliers.

How to connect your iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard

In order to use a Bluetooth keyboard with your iPad, you first need to connect the devices. To do this, make sure the keyboard is turned on and ready to use.

1. Now open the Settings app on your iPad and go to the "Bluetooth" menu item.
2. If you haven't already, turn on the Bluetooth. If it is turned on, the iPad will automatically search for available Bluetooth devices.
3. If you see the name of your keyboard on the display, tap on the entry. Now you will be shown a code. Type this on the Bluetooth keyboard and confirm with you with "Return".
4. The keyboard is now logged into the iPad and will from now on, with Bluetooth enabled, automatically establish a connection.
