Add a Third-Party Keyboard to Your iPhone


In addition to several built-in keyboards for different languages, iPhone also allows you to download your favorite third-party keyboards to make your typing experience smooth and comfortable.
There are many keyboard apps available in Apple App Store that you can download for free and use them in your iPhone.
The process is simple. Here’s how:
Download and Install a Third-Party Keyboard
    Search for a keyboard
    Tap App Store, tap Search from the bottom, type the name of your favorite keyboard you want to install (or type Keyboard for iPhone if you’re looking for one to try) in the Search box, and tap Search. This comes up with the most recent version of your searched keyboard available in App Store.
