iOS 27 brings another exciting addition for Apple users worldwide beyond Siri AI and Apple Intelligence: improved keyboard support and the ability to use different languages more easily. Apple has made many changes to new keyboards and typing that benefit all users regardless of their device, with one of the most significant updates being the availability of numerous new keyboard layouts.

New keyboard layouts for 10+ languages

iOS 27 adds keyboards for languages such as English, Basque, Basque, English (Philippines), Galician, Guarani, Luxembourgish, Xhosa, and Zulu. These new layouts give speakers of these languages a native typing experience on iPhone instead of relying on generic or workaround keyboards.

Indigenous language support expanding

Apple is also working to support Indigenous languages like Blackfoot, Comanche, Cree, Kiowa, and Tsuut’ina. This move is aimed at improving technology access for communities where language support from companies like Apple is typically lacking. Adding these keyboards helps preserve and promote languages that have historically been underrepresented in digital tools.

Multilingual typing gets smarter

Apart from introducing many new keyboard choices, Apple wants its devices to become better at typing in multiple languages. With iOS 27, users get automatic punctuation capabilities for their multilingual keyboards, meaning people who type in several languages can use punctuation without extra effort. The company is also rolling out a feature that reduces loading time for emoji and sticker keyboardsgiving users quicker access to fun content. Handwriting functionality will improve by adding multilingual capability for quick and accurate text input.

Why this matters for iPhone users

These updates make iPhone more accessible for speakers of less-common languages and for users who switch between languages frequently. Automatic punctuation removes a friction point for multilingual typing, faster emoji loading improves responsiveness, and better handwriting support helps users who prefer writing instead of tapping. For communities with Indigenous languages, the new keyboards represent a meaningful step toward digital inclusion.
