Arabic keyboard layout on iOS changing issues ...

From iOS 3.0 to 4.3 it's been a layout and then on iOS 4.3.3 it got modefied to let's say way way way "better","smoother" and "reliable" layout ...

Anyway when I updated to iOS 5.0 I lost my back up! Along with my sweet iOS 4.3.3 Arabic keyboard layout!


I have screenshots but on my iPhone now -please add an "within iOS uploader button" - I'll post two pics to show the diffrence


So my issues are ...

Why?!

How can I get it back??


Thanks!

iPhone 4, iOS 5

You can't modify the keyboards in iOS. To ask Apple for something different, use the feedback channel:

There are two apps that you construct custom keyboards that may be useful for certain purposes -- UniKey and Unicode Maps.

Nobody here can ever tell you why Apple does what it does, it's really pointless to ask.


My own Arabic keyboards seem to be different than yours. On my iPod touch (4.3/8F190) I have your second layout. On my iPad (5.0/9A334) it is not either of those in your posting, it has ظ on the bottom rightmost key.


Have you tried resetting your device to see if anything changes?

Yup done that! ... Nothing still the same ... It's a back up issue when I lost it, it changed back to the first layout.

Same thing with my friends 2 of them one stayed using his back up and another one lost like I have... Idk I just use lots of shortcuts now to cut my way into the slowness of the typing!
