【Erotica Manila Episode 3】

Your iPhone background and Erotica Manila Episode 3lock 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.

• Open Settings and find General

• Within General you'll see "Keyboards"

• Click on that and you'll see all the keyboards already loaded

• At the bottom of the list click "Add New Keyboard"

• From there you can scroll through or search through all available languages (it's a long list from Ainu to Welsh)

Layouts
