Hello,
I'm wondering when Apple is planning on supporting Farsi (Persian) characters on iOS devices? I am aware of Arabic keyboard that is available, but as you may or may not know, Farsi has 32 alphabet vs Arabic which has 28.
Kind regards,

Hello
You can find it in General+Keyboard+Keyboards+Add New Keyboard...+SUGGESTED KEYBOARDS (in top of your mobile screen)
Send feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. We are users like yourself and as such would have no idea when Apple planned on doing anything until they make an announcement.
While you are waiting for a Farsi keyboard from Apple, there are various Farsi keyboard apps in the app store which you may find useful for some purposes, e.g.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/persian-farsi-keyboard/id464732288?mt=8
I'm also anxiously waiting for a Persian keyboard to be integrated into the iOS, but I wanted to let you know, the additional Persian letters can be found from the Arabic keyboard by tapping and holding the most similar letter in Arabic (e.g. Persian گ can be found under Arabic ك and پ can be found under ب etc.). You may have already known but at least in the mean time this can help.
however arabic keyboard works for persian(farsi) words but it is not same fine as persian keyboard which there was in ios devices before. also when I use the bluetooth keyboard it does not have 4 farsi letters that there is not in arabic.
shame on apple. just tell us how long must we endure the android users who laugh at us?
For Apple to see your request, you need to repost it at
In the meantime, for the screen keyboard, you can go the to app store and download a Farsi keyboard there.
Please refer to this news. iOS 11 solved the problem.
Good news, thanks!
Support of Farsi (Persian) keyboard/language on iOS devices!
