Minor languages keyboard layout on iOS and MacOS

Hello!


After resetting my MacBook, I lost the built-in Kalmyk language keyboard layout. I’ve also seen this layout on someone’s iPhone. Is there a way to get it on both devices?

I don't think Mac has ever had this built in. They publish the list here;


macOS - Feature Availability - Apple


You must have downloaded it before and may have to do it again.


It is also not built in to the iphone


iOS and iPadOS - Feature Availability - Apple


But there is one in the app store under the name Chimege

You need to use a third-party app for this. Hope you are aware of the risk of using a third-party keyboard app from the App Store.


Data Privacy Concerns:

  • Third-party keyboards can potentially capture everything you type, including passwords, credit card numbers, and private messages.
  • If you allow "Full Access" (which many third-party keyboards require), the app can transmit what you type to their servers for features like autocorrect, predictive text, or cloud syncing.
