Typing

The onscreen keyboard appears anytime you need to type.

Entering Text

Use the keyboard to enter text, such as contact information, email, text messages, and
web addresses. The keyboard corrects misspellings, predicts what you're typing, and
learns as you use it.

Depending on the app you’re using, the intelligent keyboard may suggest corrections
as you type, to help prevent mistyped words.
