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.

After coming from another keyboard that I have been using for years, I have found this one extremely good with typing and prediction, and the left-handed mode is excellent for me. One suggestion though: Can we have an option to have the enter key send rather than enter a new line for apps like Discord? Being able to type one-handed and then having to hold the phone to reach over and send defeats the object.

Where is the pound sign? It is not behind the dollar sign, it's the first thing I tried. Long hold on dollar sign just gives me the dollar sign. Also, shouldn't it be the other way around if you're using the UK keyboard, anyway? I'm uninstalling it, it's rubbish, it doesn't know simple words like 'can't', I have to put in the apostrophe every single time, the autocorrect, therefore is worse. You can't press on the word to capitalise it. So much wrong with it,it makes SwiftKey look fantastic

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!

I don't want to use Google or Microsoft, so searched and found this. The typing functions and suggestions are great, better than the other two mentioned. I hope they can include more English stickers, and options to download more. I have modified my review. Unfortunately, the keyboard does not recognise 'I' as a word, and does not autocapitalise or offer it as a suggestion. This is a frequent inconvenience.

We fixed the situation with the letter "I". Please update the app to the latest version, this should help.
