iOS and iPadOS

Hi everyone — hope you’re doing well.

Quick question: is there a third-party app for iPhone or iPad that lets you customize the sound of the on-screen typing keyboard?

I already use a Mac app called Loud Typer (via AppleVis) that changes the key-click sounds, and I’m wondering if there’s something similar for iOS/iPadOS.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I looked into this last week, and sadly, the keyboard sounds can't be changed. One potential workaround is getting a third-party keyboard such as SwiftKey, GBoard, or Grammarly, which come with their own sounds. However, any third-party keyboard could potentially store everything you type with it, which is a serious privacy concern for some users. If you opt to go that route, I would make sure you learn what data your new keyboard stores, and what that data is used for.
