Your iPhone background and lock screen aren't the only things you can customize on the Apple handset.
The digital keyboard you use for typing can transform from the drab QWERTY layout into a portal for typing in French, Chinese, Portuguese, and most of the world's languages. You can also use the keyboard to spice up your texting with GIFs, emoji, memes, and stickers. Other custom keyboards change the layout of the keys or how you type.
Let's explore how to take your typing beyond the standard, default keyboard.
The easiest way to change up your keyboard is to add more language options. For an iPhone follow these steps to add as many options as you'd like.
