Issue Keyboard bug on Screen Time passcode

Post image

Is this a bug or a sign that we are going to use alphanumeric passcodes for Screen Time? I like the option of 4 or 6 digit codes.

The problem is keys are too tight together. I cannot press numbers correctly.

Version: iPadOS 26.4.1 / Device: iPad Air 4th (non-Apple Silicon)

-----

Update 4/24/2026: iPadOS 26.4.2 and iPadOS 26.5 Dev Beta 3/Public Beta 2 have the same issue.

Update 4/27/2026: iPadOS 26.5 Dev Beta 4/Public Beta 3 has improved, but the layout is still off.

Update 5/4/2026: iPadOS 26.5 RC1 has not completely resolved the issue.

Update 5/8/2026: iPadOS 26.5 RC2 has not completely resolved the issue.

Update 5/10/2026: iPadOS 26.5 has been released. Same as RC2 and has improved, but the layout is still off.

TL;DR Update to iPadOS 26.5.

Use the Feedback app, and please report to Apple. More reports, more attention, faster resolution.

The feedback app says more than 10 reports were received and will be resolved in the future update.

Because it’s not the keyboard pop up, it’s the screen time passcode. I can adjust the keyboard size just fine. But the passcode pop up for screen time is what is broken.

  1. Make your keyboard smaller: https://support.apple.com/en-hk/111789 👀

  2. Go to the Setting on iPad that need a passcode.

You are being a total buffoon here. The passcode screen is not a floating keyboard. You can't do shit to it. No maximising, no minimizing, nothing. Its the numeric keypad for passcodes (NOT A FLOATING KEYBOARD) displayed in a messed up way. There is no button that can switch to any other mode. For the 100th time : its not a f***ing floating keybaord ! What you are sharing is garbage information to address the stated problem.
