Arabic on iPhone 4

Noor/Noora,

Welcome to the apple discussion board.

iPhone 4 supports the Arabic Language, and you don't need any aditional apps to read/write arabic:

You can read websites like http://arabic.cnn.com
You can write/compose e-mails, notes and chat.
You can read Arabic PDFs synced to your iPhone using applications like iBooks.

All what you need to do is:
- Go to: settings -> General -> International -> Keyboards -> Add New Keyboard.
- To write Arabic, in mail for example, press the "world" button in the left side of the space bar to switch between the 2 languages.

It was supported since iOS 3.0 came out for the iPhones, but its NOT natively supported in the iPad by apple yet, you need to buy third party application to write Arabic in the iPad!

Hope that was helpful!

Good Luck -:)

The language capabilities are all listed in detail in the tech specs, and you can read how to use them in the User Guide.

Ahlan ya Noora,

Not only does the iPhone have Arabic support, it gives spelling corrections/suggestions like in English.

Also, you can mix English and Arabic in the same message or note by switching between keyboards.

I don't read or write Arabic but I absolutely love sending friends text messages in Arabic when they are waiting to board a flight.

What exactly does that mean? Text them before a flight?
