How do I change my keyboard layout?

I have looked up so many tutorials, none of which help at all. Is there any way i can change the size/layout of my keyboard, from the sad face to the happy face?

Thanks 😊

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Could you explain EXACTLY what you mean by "The emojis are also edited in for reference."?


Does that mean that one or both of the images posted here was photo-edited to add the emoji?


If those images are fictional and if you want the whole keyboard display bigger and if the existing text-size settings do not meet your requirements, log feedback with Apple: Product Feedback - Apple

Thanks for the quick reply,

i do not have a third party app for my keyboard. I have never installed a third party app for keyboards, I have Japanese keyboard when I click the globe on the bottom left, that is by Apple. The emojis are also edited in for reference. My brother recently bought his iPhone and the keyboard is the same as mine.

I apologise if I explained it poorly.

Essentially, I am trying to change the appearance of my Apple Keyboard. After screenshotting the keyboards, I pasted in a picture of a sad emoji on my current keyboard (as I'm not keen on it and would like to change it), and put a happy emoji on the other, slightly different keyboard (as that is the one I would like to have). Hope this helps :)

The use of the word “if” there completely changes the meaning and the intent of that phrase.

You want the second variant of the keyboard with the added period key from Safari used in other apps?


You’re probably going to need to load your own keyboard app. Maybe need to create your own, if you cannot find what you want in the app store.


That written… Log your keyboard feedback with Apple, and include a list or which apps you want to have that second Safari-like keyboard, as the folks that work for Apple may or may not see your enhancement request here.
