- For many iOS users, one of the most welcome…additions to iOS 8 was its ability…to accept third-party keyboards,…meaning keyboards that are not built in to iOS 8…but have been designed by other app developers.…If you're not a fan of the way the built-in keyboard works…or if you just wanna try out some other…text input methods, you can now do so.…The first to do is to find and install…a third-party keyboard.…On this iPad, I've purchased and installed…a keyboard called Swype.…Swype features a completely different text input method,…which is very popular on Android devices.…
And now that third-party keyboards are available…on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches,…it's become one of the most popular…alternate keyboards on iOS as well.…Alternate keyboards appear as individual apps…on your home screen, but in most cases,…you don't do anything in the apps themselves…except for adjusting settings.…To use alternate keyboards, you need to go into Settings,…General, Keyboard, and then here tap Keyboards…and Add New Keyboard.…
