How to delete an international keyboard on iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch

By SK 22 comments Last updated January 31, 2012

0shares

You may have accidentally added a wrong keyboard or you may have no need for your international keyboard and you want to turn off a keyboard. Although adding a new keyboard is pretty straight forward, deleting is not.  To disable an international keyboard that you added, tap Settings > General > International > Keyboards. There is an Edit button on the upper right corner. Tap on that and red circles will appear next to each keyboard name. Tap on the circle that is next to the keyboard that you want to get rid of and a “Delete” button will appear so that you can delete it.

    Your fix for “how do i remove a language from email on iphone 5” says “tap Settings > General > International > Keyboards”. I found NO ‘International’ on my iPhone5c; replacing it with ‘Keyboard’ in that path works! Thanks!

    THANK YOU! I am Hispanic and I liked having a Spanish keyboard, but most of my friends do not speak it.

    It got to be really tiring to constantly have it go into Spanish when I accidentally hit it. I wish it were easy to remove, but you saved the day!

    This doesn’t work for me. I try to do it and when I click the delete button it ignores it and goes back to the way it was after I clicked edit. I want to change this because lately while i’m typing variations of the same letter will appeare and then my iPod inserts two of the same letter into what i’m writing. If you know how to fix this please reply

      In my opinion this not a “problem” in itself. If you can just play around with the keys on your iPad you will see that when you press and hold any key for a second it will show all the variants for that alphabet if available
      ( in upper case or lower).
      iOS screens being extremely touch sensitive will quickly insert more than one letter.
      What I have realised is using light and quick touch typing negates the problem that you are encountering.
      Good luck.
