If you’re more comfortable typing in a different language, then why not bring that same comfort to your iOS device? There are many different keyboard languages to choose from within iOS and they will work with any app. The best part is, you can have multiple language keyboard selected in iOS and switch to them when needed.

Step 1: First, launch the Settings app on your device and tap on “General.” Step 2: Next, scroll down and tap on “Keyboard,” then tap on “Keyboards.” Here you’ll find a list of keyboards currently selected. Step 3: To add a new keyboard, tap on the “Add New Keyboard...” button. You’ll be presented with a list of available keyboards for iOS. Choose the keyboard that fits your preferred language by tapping on it. Step 4: If you’d like to set the keyboard you've selected as default, you’ll have to tap on the “Edit” button in the top right corner of the screen. Use the bars to the right of each row to rearrange the keyboards. Make sure your preferred keyboard is at the top of the list. Once you’ve set up your keyboards, open the Notes app to test it out. When you create a new note, iOS should bring up the keyboard you’ve set as default. You’ll also have the ability to switch between any other selected keyboards by tapping on the globe button near the spacebar. You can also tap and hold on the globe button to reveal a list of selected keyboards.
