To indent text on an iPad, use the 'Tab' key if you have an external keyboard. On the on-screen keyboard, there is no direct 'Tab' key. As a workaround, you can copy an existing tab space from another document and paste it where needed in your text. In some apps like Notes, simply tap the 'Aa' button and select 'Indent' to create an indentation. These solutions help you format your text effectively.**
