About this app

Add some zest to your messaging experience with a smart and slick auto-correct feature, smooth swiping, a dedicated translator, and voice commands that support emoticons, GIFs, and stickers. Chat away like never before.


Your security and anonymity is our top priority

All input data is completely anonymized and won't be collected without your permission. The keyboard collects your input so it can learn and adapt to your personal style (don't worry, you can toggle this feature on or off in settings). None of your passwords, contacts, credit card information or other sensitive data is being collected.

Reads, writes, and speaks like a native

The keyboard uses proprietary machine learning algorithms developed by Yandex in order to make appropriate suggestions as you type. Advanced predictive capabilities even let you receive suggestions for words you haven't typed yet. You can also suggest your own words and let the keyboard adapt to the way you talk, or just forgo the feature altogether.

An interpreter in your pocket

The keyboard knows 70 languages and can easily translate phrases between multiple language pairs, including English, Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bashkir, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chuvash, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, Gaelic, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Haitian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malagasy, Malay, Maltese, Mari, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamil, Tatar, Telugu, Turkish, Udmurt, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yakut, and Zulu. You can use the keyboard to effortlessly talk to people who don't speak your native tongue, without worrying about grammar rules.

Make talking more fun

Spice up your conversations with animated GIFs (built-in search included), emojis, and stickers, and you can even get emoji suggestions as you type along. The keyboard also supports kaomojis, which are fun emoticons constructed with Japanese characters, such as this angry guy flipping a table ( ╯°□°)╯┻━━┻ or a cute little bear ヽ( ̄(エ) ̄)ノ.

Enjoy tools for every occasion and a host of useful options

You can change up the keyboard's design: make it vibrant and colorful or go for something darker and sleeker looking. Don't waste your time on toggling and swiping: add numbers and other extra characters to your main keyboard layout for instant access. If you need to turn to the Internet for help, a built-in Yandex search is always right at your fingertips.

Not a bad keyboard, it's accurate and good at predicting the next words and doesn't have any ads or other useless apps. Why the two stars then? Two reasons: 1. There's no £ key (I typed £ in this review by switching to Gboard). Selecting English as a language offers no English localisation. 2. The keyboard layout is a little cluttered with wasted space between keys. Will revisit once proper English localisation is added. Until then, it's back to Gboard.

To type the symbol "£", go to the Keyboard symbol layout by tapping "#1?". Tap and hold the dollar symbol "$". In the list that appears, select the required symbol. We're constantly improving it, and it's very important for us to know what prevents our users from enjoying our app.

Easily the best customization you'll ever find. It has its downsides though. Moving the cursor with the spacebar is sometimes imprecise, even after you've moved it stays in the same place somehow. The Spanish keyboard kinda lacks vocabulary a lot, it's missing lots of words that are commonly used in the suggestion and auto-correction box. Also the Japanese keyboard is really bad, missing lots of words in kanji and a good 12 key layout, the writing system needs to be improved.

We will be able to understand the situation way better if you send us a screenshot or a video of the screen that can illustrate what happened. To do this, open our application, select "Settings" — "Feedback". Thank you!

Almost perfect but a few issues on my Samsung Galaxy S22. No haptic feedback when pressing keys, even with vibrate on. Predictive text is not most intuitive. Adding words to the dictionary made no difference, I was still getting suggestions for words I was not typing. Also no £ symbol on an English keyboard? I looked everywhere for it but couldn't find any options. Other than these little things this is an awesome keyboard with a lot of customisation so it's worth trying out for yourself.

Please, open the Keyboard "Settings", choose "Feedback" and describe your situation in detail. The fact is that there is a limit on characters here — we can use only 350. Therefore, it will be much more convenient if you write to us through the feedback form. We are looking forward to your mail!
