How to Change the Order of Your Keyboards on an iPhone 7

Your iPhone has a number of different keyboards that can be installed as needed. Most of these keyboards are free, and provide characters from foreign languages that you can use to type with. You may have already installed the emoji keyboard, for example, so that you can send those tiny characters to your message contacts.

But if you have more than two keyboards on your iPhone, you might not like the order in which they are listed. For example, if you tap the globe icon at the bottom of your default keyboard, then second keyboard that appears might be a keyboard that you don’t use often, and you would like the emoji keyboard to appear second. Our guide below will show you how to adjust the keyboard order on the device.
