Most iPhone users don’t know that it is possible to change the color of the keyboard on their device. The few that do know have no idea how to go about it.
Changing your keyboard color on your iPhone is simple. You can do it anytime you want.
In this article, you’ll learn how to change the keyboard color on your iPhone in a couple of simple steps
How To Change Keyboard Color On iPhone
There are just two methods by which you can change the color of your keyboard on your iPhone. Both methods are quite simple and basic.
Switch to Dark Mode
On your iPhone, the mode of your display affects everything on your phone screen including your phone’s keyboard.
There are only two display modes, Light mode, and Dark mode.
By default, your iPhone is on light mode and the automatic color of your keyboard is white/grey.
The other alternative is to change it to black by switching your iPhone’s display to Dark mode.
To switch from light mode to dark mode, Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Select Display & Brightness. Choose Dark to Switch to Dark Mode.
This will make the display of your iPhone dark and the keyboard black. You can alternate between Light mode and Dark Mode
Using Third-Party Apps
Since the iPhone only offers two color options for the keyboard, it can get quite boring.
This is why third-party keyboard apps have been developed that allow users to customize their keyboards to their preferences.
The third-party apps have a wide range of options and settings for their users.
The third-party keyboards are available for installation on the App Store. You can use them as your default iPhone keyboard.
These are some of the popular keyboard apps that allow you to change the key color;
- Gboard
- Typewise
- Phraseboard
- Color
- Grammarly
The only limitation is that you cannot use them when entering sensitive information like passwords.
Conclusion
Being able to change your keyboard color on your iPhone is fun and cool. Using just a single color tends to make it boring.
Now you know how to change the color of your keyboard on your iPhone. This can also work for your iPad device.
You just need to install a third-party keyboard app like Gboard or Grammarly or use the dark mode option.
