While Apple's stock iOS keyboard covers everyday typing, it lacks modern generative AI actions such as tone rewriting, instant translation, and deep grammatical error correction directly in the textfield.

1. Adding a Third-Party Keyboard on iOS

  1. Download your chosen keyboard app, such as Candemkey, from the App Store.
  2. Open iPhone Settings.
  3. Navigate to General > Keyboard > Keyboards.
  4. Tap Add New Keyboard… and choose Candemkey under Third-Party Keyboards.

2. Understanding the "Allow Full Access" Toggle

Apple requires this permission for any keyboard that requires cloud networking. When enabling Full Access for Candemkey, network connectivity is used solely to fetch AI completion responses when you hit the purple action button. Routine typing stays strictly private.

3. Switching Keyboards Seamlessly

In any message box, tap or hold the Globe (🌐) icon at the bottom-left to pick Candemkey.
