@ayanmandal1 this is brilliant, I’ve been waiting forever! I do have one recommendation which is for 3D Touch inclusion on the keyboard. Usually when you press and hold you can move the cursor anywhere. On Grammarly, users can’t. Will you implement this in the future?

@3raxton Thank you for trying out Grammarly's Keyboard and for your suggestion! We have a roadmap of features that we will be adding to the product and will keep this one in mind.
Chad Whitaker
Beautiful addition. Any plans to add support for moving the cursor as you drag your finger on the spacebar? Also, quick access to emojis is a must. 😊
Roman Guliak
@chadwhitaker Glad you liked our keyboard! The primary goal for v.1.0 was to bring confidence in writing to mobile. Once it's done, we're going to work on additional features to increase productivity. Thanks for your feedback and stay tuned!

Hey guys! Finally, Grammarly is available on mobile. Great product! I just wanna ask if you are going to do some merges with other available keyboards? I use Google keyboard on iOS as I do like how swift-type-writing works, especially with google prediction. It would be just perfect to use google keyboard that is upgraded with grammarly. What do you think?

@artur_abadzhyan Thanks for trying out our keyboard and providing feedback. iOS is designed in such a way that you can quickly switch between multiple keyboards and enjoy their unique features: swipe, GIFs, emojis, etc. But when it comes to an important message, Grammarly Keyboard is here to help. To make the keyboard switch seamless, you can tap and hold the globe icon on Grammarly keyboard, and you'll get all other keyboards just one long tap away. Hope this trick helps!
Artur Abadjan
@ru1iak not actually as it takes extra seconds)) and when you typing something every sec is important. So it would be much easier to see grammarly features in those keyboards that you are already into for a long time. But I took your point and thnx for the answer!

@artur_abadzhyan Another problem for me as a German is the English QWERTY layout. I always have to change keyboards to type my Umlauts (which occur quite frequently, at least every tenth word). So, the keyboard app is quite useless for anyone who's not an English native.

@ru1iak I can't seem to enable swipe on the Grammarly keyboard. Am I missing something?
Mohammed Rafy
Woah ho! This is impressive. Installing now and testing. Great work team. :) Update - Installed now.

Grammarly is helpful to write error-free and quality documents; with this software, iPhone users can take advantage of Grammarly.
Farbod Saraf
Amazing! When are you guys going to offer APIs? We can't wait to make Grammarly extension on Everboard (http://everboard.io).

Installed and got this message: "Allow Full Access for "Grammarly" Keyboards? Full access allows the developer of this keyboard to transmit anything you type, including things you have previously typed with this keyboard. This could include sensitive information such as your credit card number or street address." With the options "Don't Allow/Allow". Now @ayanmandal1 why should I not freak out?

@ravsydney As @max_lytvyn shared in his comment above, Grammarly is not activated for these sensitive fields with a rare exception of apps that misidentify such fields. We take the security of user data very seriously and use stringent encryption, anonymization, and purging of any potentially personally-identifiable or sensitive data. You can read more about that here: grmly.co/privacy

Curious how this is better than Apple’s keyboard...I typed “the white house” and Grammarly did not format as a proper noun whereas Apple did?
Alan Houser
@jhyu Grammarly is fantastic at finding not only spelling, but use/tense and punctuation. Example, where I was using it last night on a Squarespace site (a rare script conflict kept the tool-tip “click” functionality from working), but it works really well. Perfect Gmail companion! http://yum.sqr.fr/rruNbAN

Thank you for the hunt, @bonatsos. I’m excited the Grammarly Keyboard is now live! This has been our most requested feature. For some time now, Grammarly’s AI-powered products have provided peace of mind to millions of people who believe in the value of clear, articulate, and error-free writing. Today, ten million users are benefitting daily from Grammarly’s feedback on their messages and documents. Now, by popular demand, we’re bringing Grammarly to iOS — with Android coming soon. The Grammarly Keyboard integrates with all mobile apps, including Twitter, Tinder, email, text messages, and the mobile browser. Using the same algorithms that currently power the desktop experience, the keyboard offers a comprehensive set of writing suggestions from context-specific recommendations, including voice and clarity, to fundamentals, such as grammar and punctuation. I encourage you to give it a try and let us know what you think — we’re always looking to iterate and improve. Here’s to making “Sent from my iPhone” a thing of the past!

@bonatsos @ayanmandal1 you answered my question. Android coming soon 😄 I literally started using Grammarly two days ago on my computer. Then I said to myself, "Damn this would be awesome on my phone!"
Ahmad Awais ⚡
@bonatsos @ayanmandal1 Looking forward to Android. Would it be possible for you guys to integrate with GBoard?
Derek J
This made my day! Literally one of the very few things holding me back from going all in on an iPad rather than a Mac. Until now. (but I still use Sketch... and some other things)
Jarod Steffes
FINALLY!! Grammarly is awesome! I love it for my MacBook and now it’s on mobile? 🔥🔥🔥 thank you!However, after playing with it for a few minutes, I see switching to emoji isn't so smooth. As it switches back to the default keyboard and then gotta hit the emoji button again. Hope to see see an update for this in the near future!
Roman Guliak
@jarod_steffes Thanks for trying out our keyboard! We're also very excited about this launch, and even more excited about the days to come as the team is already working on additional features. Stay tuned!
Jarod Steffes
@ru1iak only thing I think needed is a cleaner, better, and faster switch to emojis! I had to quit using Grammarly because of the problem. 😅 Keep us updated.
Jeff Whitlock

I love Grammarly for my Mac, so this is all coming from a big fan generally! I'm sure you'll work out these issued!

Pros:

Setup was straightforward, and the walkthrough was well designed. The keyboard itself looks beautiful.

Cons:

- Access to emojis is difficult 😢

- Not as good at auto-editing as iOS when I fat finger a sentence

- Undoing an auto-correct is hard

Nina Cvijovic
Yes! I was waiting for this! It will save my mobile typing error in a great style. Grammarly for desktop has proven to be super useful for me (I also love the design), but most of the time I'm typing on Slack or Google doc. Are you guy planning to integrate there?
Enrico Capone
Amazing, I think this is the natural path of the product. Just one thing, after installed I really miss the force touch on the keyboard to move into the text, there's nothing to do for add this feature from the default keyboard right?
Randle Stonier
I like what you guys do, immensely. Well done. It will be absolutely fab when you finally crack English English and not the hocus ‘fanny bag’ pocus practiced on the other side of the Atlantic. What are your plans to adopt the Queen’s English vs some trumped up version? Also, Apple’s reminder that by giving you Full Access means key strokes of credit cards and passwords means you are capturing everything and it is understandably disconcerting. I have trust, but over time in Apple for their security protocols and robust expressions and seeming deeds of best intent to act on behalf of their customers. It would be good to hear explicitly about your security processes, to give us some peace of mind. Apologies if you’ve covered it elsewhere but Apple’s pop up warning did rightly stop and make me think.

@randlelondon In many respects, American English is more conserved and old-fashioned than British English -- the latter having changed more since they diverged. Shakespeare's English was rhotic, pronouncing [ɹ] where the orthography says it should be pronounced -- like most of American English. Yours, sir, is the new-fangled English. And it's "fanny pack," not "fanny bag."
max_lytvyn
@randlelondon I'm happy to bring good news here. Grammarly supports British and American English via a setting that's available in the user profile area (more here: https://support.grammarly.com/hc... ). And because we respect English dialects equally, we are also working on Canadian, Australian, and some other dialects. The default setting is picked up from the locale set on the phone, but users can override it. As for the security of password and credit card fields, Grammarly is not activated for these sensitive fields with a rare exception of apps that misidentify such fields. Apple is very cautious about privacy and security of its users, just as we are, and thus Apple warns users about such a possibility, even though mislabeling sensitive fields by apps is rare. In any case, we take the security of user data very seriously and use stringent encryption, anonymization, and purging of any potentially personally-identifiable or sensitive data. You can read more about our data handling in the Data Storage and Transfer section of our Privacy Policy (https://www.grammarly.com/privac... ). I apologize for linking to a verbose document, but quoting parts without context may create more confusion than clarity.

Very intrigued. I'm a "Premium" Grammarly user, and it would be nice to have some checks when serving and communicating with customers and prospects with various apps (e.g., help desk, CRM, etc.). You know, founders wear a lot of hats. I'm a little worried about privacy and security. Occasionally, I need cut and paste passwords or other types of personally identifiable information (PII). When I activated the keyboard with iOS, I received a dire message that PII could be transmitted and collected. Not a comforting thought.
Anne Gherini
Love Grammarly. Been a big user on desktop. It is what spellcheck could be if it actually used user's data. Just installed.
Parth Mehta

Loving it so far!

Pros:

I like that it doesn't alter the original iOS keyboard much, but still adds a lot of functionality and power.

Cons:

None so far

What do you dowhen you want to insert a smiley? Let's put a smile on that face.😻
Mohammed Rafy
I still feel predictions by Swift Keyboard is way smoother than this.
max_lytvyn
@rafyasarmatta One important thing about predictions is that it takes a new keyboard some time to learn your preferences and your context, so comparing that aspect of a newly-installed keyboard vs. the one that had plenty of time to "learn" and personalize is not apples to apples. But a bigger point is that Grammarly does so much more than typing predictions - word choice, sentence structure, clarity/ambiguity, contextual misspellings, even formality & tone suggestions. It's a much broader range of writing and communication support beyond just spelling/typing.
Mohammed Rafy
@max_lytvyn True and absolutely makes sense. Been a huge fan of what you're doing and appreciate what you've built. I'm loving it. Thanks, Max for the answers. P.S I'm typing this on Grammarly Keyboard.
Alan Houser
@rafyasarmatta @max_lytvyn I want to kill apple’s PI anyway. Maybe this is the way. We’re becoming really lazy with grammar, opting for speed over brainpower:)
