Keyboard Studio Support

1. Enable Keyboard Studio

Add Keyboard Studio as a system keyboard:

After adding the keyboard, open any text field, tap and hold the Globe key (or use the keyboard switcher), and choose Keyboard Studio.

2. Enable Full Access

Full Access is optional. Without Full Access, basic typing works, the bundled offline lexicon works, gestures and layouts work, and safe defaults are available.

With Full Access enabled:

• Settings saved in the containing App may synchronize through the local App Group container
• Quick Phrases and Personal Dictionary created in the App may be available to the keyboard
• System keyboard click audio may be available when enabled

iOS grants third-party keyboards additional capabilities when Allow Full Access is enabled. Keyboard Studio uses Full Access where applicable for supported local App Group sharing and iOS keyboard feedback. Enabling it does not change Keyboard Studio’s privacy practices or cause the App to upload typed text, swipe paths, Emoji searches, Quick Phrases, Personal Dictionary entries, photos, or settings. It does not activate accounts, advertising, or analytics.

To enable Full Access, open Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Keyboard Studio and turn on Allow Full Access.

3. Keyboard click sound troubleshooting

If click sound is missing or inconsistent, check these steps:

1. Enable Keyboard Feedback Sound in iOS Settings.
2. Enable System Click Sound in Keyboard Studio.
3. Save settings in Keyboard Studio.
4. Enable Full Access for Keyboard Studio.
5. Remove and re-add the keyboard, or restart the Extension session where needed.
6. Confirm the Apple keyboard produces sound on your device.
7. Note that custom-keyboard click loudness may differ from the Apple keyboard.

Do not install custom audio files for this feature. Keyboard Studio uses supported iOS public system feedback facilities when available. Custom-keyboard feedback may differ from Apple’s system keyboard.

4. Haptics troubleshooting

Keyboard Studio offers configurable haptic feedback, including Light, Medium, and Strong settings. Physical feedback varies by device model, system haptic settings, and whether haptics are supported on that hardware. If feedback feels weak or absent, confirm system haptics are enabled and try a different intensity in Keyboard Studio.

5. Quick Phrases

Create Quick Phrases in the Keyboard Studio App. Phrases are stored locally. With Full Access enabled, phrases created in the App may become available to the Keyboard Extension through the local App Group container.

6. Personal Dictionary

Add words to your Personal Dictionary in the App. Entries remain local. With Full Access enabled, dictionary entries created in the App may be available to the keyboard through the local App Group container.

7. Local Candidates

Local word candidates are generated on-device. They do not require a network connection and are not uploaded by Keyboard Studio.

8. Local Autocorrection

Bundled autocorrection is optional and off by default. When enabled, it works locally using on-device resources, including the bundled offline lexicon.

9. Local Emoji Search

Emoji search uses a bundled catalog and local search information. Search text is matched on-device and is not sent to a Keyboard Studio server.

10. Swipe Typing

Supported swipe typing is processed on-device. Keyboard Studio does not upload swipe paths or use a remote account to learn your typing behavior.

11. Long-press alternate characters

Press and hold a key to access alternate characters where available, then slide to the character you want and release.

12. Spacebar cursor movement

Slide on the spacebar to move the cursor. This gesture works as part of the keyboard’s local input controls.

13. One-handed layouts

Choose left or right one-handed layouts to bring keys closer for single-hand typing. You can switch back to the standard layout at any time.

14. iPad adaptive layout

On iPad, Keyboard Studio provides adaptive layouts intended to fit common iPad typing arrangements. Layout availability depends on your device and orientation.

15. Photo Background

Choose a photo through Apple’s system photo-selection interface. Keyboard Studio processes and stores the keyboard-background copy locally. You can change, re-crop, or remove it in the App; it is not uploaded to a Keyboard Studio server.

16. Restore Safe Defaults

If settings become confusing or typing behavior feels unexpected, use Restore Safe Defaults in Keyboard Studio. This returns configurable options to a known-safe baseline while leaving your decision about Full Access under your control in iOS Settings.

17. Switch keyboards with Globe

Tap the Globe key, or tap and hold it, to switch between Keyboard Studio and other keyboards installed on your device.

18. Full Access privacy FAQ

Does Full Access upload what I type?

No. iOS grants additional capabilities when Full Access is enabled, but Keyboard Studio does not use them to upload what you type or other local keyboard data.

What does Full Access allow?

Keyboard Studio may use it for supported local configuration sharing between the App and Keyboard Extension through Apple’s App Group mechanism and for supported iOS keyboard feedback where applicable.

Is Full Access required?

No. Without Full Access, basic typing, the bundled offline lexicon, gestures, layouts, and safe defaults remain available.
