Why do the letters look joined when I type?
Arabic letters change shape and connect to their neighbors automatically. The keyboard only inserts the letters, and your browser joins them correctly.

Yes. Press Copy text and paste it into any app that supports Arabic. If letters look separated there, check that the app uses a font with Arabic support.
