Save keystrokes
A shortcut lets you enter a word or phrase by typing just a few characters. For example,
type “omw” to enter “On my way!” That oneʼs already set up for you, but you can also
add your own.
Create a shortcut. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap Text Replacement.
Have a word or phrase you use and donʼt want it corrected? Create a shortcut, but
leave the Shortcut field blank.
Use iCloud to keep your personal dictionary up to date on your other devices. Go to
Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on iCloud Drive.
Add or change keyboards
You can turn typing features, such as spell checking, on or off; add keyboards for writing
in different languages; and change the layout of your onscreen keyboard or Apple
Wireless Keyboard.
If youʼve added keyboards in other languages, you can type in two languages without
having to switch between keyboards. Your keyboard automatically switches between the
two languages you type in most often. (Not available for all languages.)
Tip: On iPad Pro (12.9 inch), if youʼve added a Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Hebrew
keyboard, you can use the Caps Lock key to quickly switch back and forth between Latin
script and the other keyboard youʼre using.
Set typing features. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard.
Add a keyboard for another language. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard >
Keyboards > Add New Keyboard.
Switch keyboards. Touch and hold , then slide your finger to the name of the
keyboard.
You can also tap to switch from one keyboard to the other. Continue tapping to
access other enabled keyboards.
