Our smartest keyboard ever.

iOS 8 brings the biggest changes to the keyboard since the very ﬁrst iPhone. Now you can tap to choose the perfect suggestion for your next word. And for the ﬁrst time, third-party keyboards are available. Typing as you know it might soon be a thing of the past.

iOS 8 predicts what you’re likely to say next.
No matter who you’re saying it to.


iOS 8 knows your text messaging style.

When you’re using Messages, the word suggestions may be more casual and brief, if that’s how you like to text.

It knows how you email.

The predictive text will adjust to give you more polished next-word choices.

It knows who you’re writing to.

You’ll get word choices that are appropriate for your co-worker, your best friend and anyone else you’ve had conversations with.

And it knows what the conversation is about.

If someone asks you a question, iOS 8 understands. And before you even type one letter, it offers choices like “Yes” or “No”.

Predictive text, available around the world.

The iOS 8 predictive text engine is optimised for languages around the world. Which means you’ll see suggested words and phrases that are right for your language. And as you use the keyboard over time, it will learn the way you communicate, get to know your favourite phrases and suggest a logical next word.

Supported languages include English optimised for the US, UK, Canada and Australia; French; German; Italian; Portuguese optimised for Brazil; Spanish; and Thai. And Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese input continue to feature predictive input.

New third-party
keyboard experiences.
