Checking text
Once the Grammarly Keyboard for iOS is installed on your iPhone, open any app and tap on any text field to pull up the keyboard. You can then start typing, and the Grammarly Keyboard will automatically provide suggestions or correct typos.
Tip: To view different variations of each keyboard character, tap and hold any of the keys.
Note: If you don’t see a green Grammarly logo in the upper-left corner of your keyboard after installation, tap on the globe icon in the lower-left corner of your keyboard.
If the Grammarly icon is gray, it indicates that you are typing in a sensitive field. Sensitive fields are typically associated with confidential information and may include password fields, email fields, web browser search fields, or similar.
If you see a gray Wi-Fi symbol on the Grammarly icon, it may indicate a problem with your internet connection.
If there is a common mistake or a typo in the text, Grammarly will automatically correct the text and notify you about the change in the completions bar.
Alternatively, Grammarly will provide a suggestion that you can accept or dismiss. You’ll see the number of Grammarly’s suggestions next to the Grammarly icon.
To accept a suggestion, tap on it in the suggestions bar. Grammarly will automatically apply the change to your text.
For a detailed explanation of the suggestion, tap the Grammarly icon in the upper-left corner of the keyboard.
Note: The Grammarly Keyboard for iOS fully supports all native keyboard features, including emoji, emoji search, and swipe functionality.
If you’re on the Free plan, consider upgrading to Pro to unlock the benefits of the advanced writing suggestions. Visit www.grammarly.com/plans to see what Pro has to offer and choose a plan that best suits your needs.
