How to change my iPhone keyboard

First, you’ll need to install an alternative keyboard.

Here are some worth trying:

GBoard

GBoard is Google’s own keyboard.

It has the added benefit of being able to use Google search directly within it too.

SwiftKey

SwiftKey is Microsoft’s take on a keyboard.

The app was briefly removed earlier this year before being reinstated due to popular demand.

Among the many things it does is the ability to learn your writing style.

Grammarly

Grammarly is another popular option.

It’s well-known for advanced grammar reviewing.

Once you’ve installed one from the App Store.

Then you’ll need to go to Settings from the main iPhone screen.

Next, head to General, followed by Keyboard.

Tap on Keyboards.

Select Add New Keyboard….

Find the keyboard you installed from the list.

Go back, then select it from above.

Tap Allow Full Access.

Finally, hit Allow.

Now your keyboard will change.

If you want to change it back at any time, just follow the steps again but this time select English (UK).
