Phone Keyboard Settings – iPhone and Android Virtual Keyboard

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Phones always use a virtual keyboard, and you can change it. On iPhone, go to Settings › General › Keyboard to add languages, turn autocorrect or predictive text on or off, and add third-party keyboards; hold a letter to see its accented versions. On Android, go to Settings › System › Keyboard, or open Gboard settings from the keyboard itself, to add languages, change the layout and switch keyboards. To type in another language, add it and tap the globe or language key.
