About this app

Add some zest to your messaging experience with a smart and slick auto-correct feature, smooth swiping, a dedicated translator, and voice commands that support emoticons, GIFs, and stickers. Chat away like never before.


Your security and anonymity is our top priority

All input data is completely anonymized and won't be collected without your permission. The keyboard collects your input so it can learn and adapt to your personal style (don't worry, you can toggle this feature on or off in settings). None of your passwords, contacts, credit card information or other sensitive data is being collected.

Reads, writes, and speaks like a native

The keyboard uses proprietary machine learning algorithms developed by Yandex in order to make appropriate suggestions as you type. Advanced predictive capabilities even let you receive suggestions for words you haven't typed yet. You can also suggest your own words and let the keyboard adapt to the way you talk, or just forgo the feature altogether.

An interpreter in your pocket

The keyboard knows 70 languages and can easily translate phrases between multiple language pairs, including English, Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bashkir, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chuvash, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, Gaelic, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Haitian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malagasy, Malay, Maltese, Mari, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamil, Tatar, Telugu, Turkish, Udmurt, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yakut, and Zulu. You can use the keyboard to effortlessly talk to people who don't speak your native tongue, without worrying about grammar rules.

Make talking more fun

Spice up your conversations with animated GIFs (built-in search included), emojis, and stickers, and you can even get emoji suggestions as you type along. The keyboard also supports kaomojis, which are fun emoticons constructed with Japanese characters, such as this angry guy flipping a table ( โ•ฏยฐโ–กยฐ)โ•ฏโ”ปโ”โ”โ”ป or a cute little bear ใƒฝ(๏ฟฃ(๏ฝด)๏ฟฃ)๏พ‰.

Enjoy tools for every occasion and a host of useful options

You can change up the keyboard's design: make it vibrant and colorful or go for something darker and sleeker looking. Don't waste your time on toggling and swiping: add numbers and other extra characters to your main keyboard layout for instant access. If you need to turn to the Internet for help, a built-in Yandex search is always right at your fingertips.

I'm in love with this keyboard. Effectively esrased gboard from my conscience. Don't backspace with it on average. I turn off auto-correct because the word suggestions tend to distract me, but it's size is just ideal for a smartphone. You are less prone to make spelling mistakes with this bad boy, full stop. It's other functions are pretty good too.

I used gboard for a bit till I couldn't take it anymore. Then I used Microsoft's keyboard and it was OK but nothing impressive type wise. Yandex hands down is the best keyboard out or the 10+ I've tried. There's never any lag, and they text correction is way more on point than the others I've used. It is simple in its way which IMO is a great thing because keyboards should be for typing. The emoji layouts and emoji search works great too. Overall its a great and simple keyboard!

I'm another Swype refugee. Best keyboard I've found so far. Long pressing backspace deletes whole words. Biggest complaint: I can't turn off the auto-space between predicted words, which means I cant swipe new compound words or modify words that were predicted incorrectly but close. Like if I swipe "incorrect" then try to add "ly" at the end, I get "incorrect ly". I have to tap out "supergiant" instead of just swiping "super" and "giant". Edit: I get why. I'd just like the option.

Thank you so much! Your kind words make us happy. In this situation, it is assumed that you have selected a hint and plan to type the next word, so a space is added. Thank you for sharing your experience. We are constantly working on suggestions to better handle such cases.
