by iOS power-users, the Android-envy can stop now: Third-party keyboards have arrived. While the majority of iOS users likely find the default iOS keyboard works just fine, other alternative keyboards have cropped up that offer some capabilities that many may find useful.

Installing and selecting one of these keyboards makes it appear in all your apps.
After downloading a keyboard app from the App Store, you enable it by opening the Settings app, then going to General > Keyboards.
