How To Change Keyboard On IPhone

While the standard iPhone keyboard is sufficient for most people, there are a plethora of other alternatives available.

The iPhone includes a number of distinct foreign language keyboards that you may enable and use whenever you need to type in a different language.

That’s not all; you may also install and utilize third-party keyboards instead. Alternate key layouts, more emoji, and even “swipe” style input, where you glide your finger across the keyboard instead of touching individual keys, are all available on some keyboards.

How To Use A New Keyboard On An IPhone After You’ve Changed To It

Start a text-based app, such as Messages or Mail. At the bottom left of the screen, you should notice a new globe-shaped button. The button can be used in two ways:

• It should be tapped. Every time you hit the button, it will cycle between the various keyboards, starting with the default and moving on to Emoji, then the newly added keyboard, and so on.
• Hold the tap. If you press and hold the globe, a pop-up menu will appear, allowing you to select the keyboard you wish to use with a single tap.
