Ask DN: How would you improve the iOS keyboard?

    Better toggling between keyboards (when there are 3+), a long tap on the globe isn't quick enough, I'd like to have something similar to Android's spatial swipes.

    Also, the Emoji keyboard's globe button should be positioned in the same place as the other keyboards', even if it would break the Emoji tabs - it's currently hard to toggle between that keyboard and others when the button jumps.. that's the main reason I don't use that keyboard :)

      Yeah, I find the layout of the Emoji keyboard a little odd. I wonder why it wasn't incorporated into the main keyboard like the secondary or special character keys vs. making it a separate keyboard altogether. It really slows you down.

      Swipe up from the globe to immediately open that menu.

      What do you mean by Androids spatial swipes, could you elaborate?

        On Android, you can swipe right/left on the space button to navigate back and forth between keyboards.
