About this app

Add some zest to your messaging experience with a smart and slick auto-correct feature, smooth swiping, a dedicated translator, and voice commands that support emoticons, GIFs, and stickers. Chat away like never before.


Your security and anonymity is our top priority

All input data is completely anonymized and won't be collected without your permission. The keyboard collects your input so it can learn and adapt to your personal style (don't worry, you can toggle this feature on or off in settings). None of your passwords, contacts, credit card information or other sensitive data is being collected.

Reads, writes, and speaks like a native

The keyboard uses proprietary machine learning algorithms developed by Yandex in order to make appropriate suggestions as you type. Advanced predictive capabilities even let you receive suggestions for words you haven't typed yet. You can also suggest your own words and let the keyboard adapt to the way you talk, or just forgo the feature altogether.

An interpreter in your pocket

The keyboard knows 70 languages and can easily translate phrases between multiple language pairs, including English, Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bashkir, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chuvash, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, Gaelic, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Haitian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malagasy, Malay, Maltese, Mari, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamil, Tatar, Telugu, Turkish, Udmurt, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yakut, and Zulu. You can use the keyboard to effortlessly talk to people who don't speak your native tongue, without worrying about grammar rules.

Make talking more fun

Spice up your conversations with animated GIFs (built-in search included), emojis, and stickers, and you can even get emoji suggestions as you type along. The keyboard also supports kaomojis, which are fun emoticons constructed with Japanese characters, such as this angry guy flipping a table ( ╯°□°)╯┻━━┻ or a cute little bear ヽ(￣(ｴ)￣)ﾉ.

Enjoy tools for every occasion and a host of useful options

You can change up the keyboard's design: make it vibrant and colorful or go for something darker and sleeker looking. Don't waste your time on toggling and swiping: add numbers and other extra characters to your main keyboard layout for instant access. If you need to turn to the Internet for help, a built-in Yandex search is always right at your fingertips.

Ratings and reviews

I really like the keyboard, it's very customizable but it still needs a bit of work. My main thing i can't get past (and i use a lot) is that the keyboards swipe cursor is very hit-or-miss, it seems to measure distance traveled after a set time (unlike the backspace key which i can just fling, it's even faster than Gboard for example) so i have to move my finger very slowly otherwise nothing happens, but not too slowly or to the left otherwise the unmovable mic acess opens.

I've been using this keyboard for years and will use it for many more to come. I have severe photosensitivity and anything on my screen that's bright white hurts my eyes, it's made finding a useable keyboard that doesn't hurt me a challenge. This one is so highly customizable that my keyboards don't have a hint of white in them. I do recommend checking your settings so your info isn't being collected and sold..but that's with most apps.

I have LOVED this keyboard for many years. But now, gifs icon is not showing up. I have researched and explored every setting within the the app and on my phone. Battery saver and data saver are turned off. I reinstalled several times. The messaging apps definitely allow gifs. I toggled "block offensive language" on/off and the gif icon showed up for a millisecond. Didn't work twice. One of the main reasons I have had this app is for the gifs. PLEASE FIX THIS!
