Arabic numbers instead of hindi numbers in Arabic keyboard layout Hello community! Since i work much with texts and use different layouts, it is so annoying that in arabic keyboard layout used the hindi numbers, so when i type numbers it's hindi numbers, and i could not find a way to make them arabic by default. Only few arabic countries are actually use hindi numbers, and there is no option to type regular arabic numbers on ios or ipad OS& only switching language. In macOS there is ways to make arabic numbers default, but not in ipad OS. If you can type arabic numbers on virtual keyboard, you cannot do so on Magic keyboard and switching languages is the only solution for me at this time. iPad pro supposed to be a professional tool for different professions, and it is great, but because of this small option absence it makes it hard to type lot of text with numbers quickly((( If there is a way to change this in settings, hope for a guide. If not, hope to make such important option in further iOS and iPad OS releases.

Request to Update Saudi Riyal Symbol on iPhone Arabic Keyboard Subject: Request to Update Saudi Riyal Symbol on Arabic Keyboard Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to request an update to the Arabic keyboard on iPhones to include the new Saudi Riyal symbol (SAR). Currently, the keyboard only displays the old symbol (﷼). The new symbol was officially adopted by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority and is now widely used in the country. Including it on the iPhone keyboard would greatly benefit Arabic-speaking users in Saudi Arabia and make it easier for them to type the currency symbol. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information] [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Arabic Riyal symbol

Press and hold the Indian numbers to see and type the Arabic versions

For a screen keyboard with Arabic numbers, check the App Store (look at the Keyman app)
