Keyboards for WhatsApp and messaging apps
Your phone doesn't have the right keyboard? Write your message here, in the alphabet of your choice, then send it to WhatsApp with the “Share” button or a simple copy and paste.
Compatible keyboards
Write, then share in seconds
The process is the same for every script on the site. Type your message in the text box, on a physical keyboard or the touch screen, check the character and word counter if needed, then tap “Share” and select WhatsApp: the app opens with your text, ready to send to the contact of your choice. On a computer, the “Copy” button is all you need before pasting into WhatsApp Web or the desktop app.
Which keyboard to use
- Arabic for WhatsApp: type in Arabizi (3, 7, 9) or on the official layout, with harakat if you like.
- Russian: ЙЦУКЕН layout or phonetic typing.
- Greek: with accents and diaeresis.
- Hebrew: right to left, with final letters.
- Tifinagh and Kabyle: for messages in Amazigh, in the Tifinagh or Latin alphabet.
Tips for your messages
Star the keyboard you use most to keep it in your favourites, or install the app on your home screen to open it in one tap, even offline. Your text stays on your phone until you send it: it is never passed to the site’s servers.
