Support of Farsi (Persian) keyboard/language on iOS devices!

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,

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.

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.
