Is it a Hacking Key Logger - Keyboard Data (Chinese & Japanese)

Hi. I am using IPhone 6 with Latest IoS 9.3.1. In ICloud Backup I can see an item called Keyboard Data (Chinese & Japanese). I have not been able to find any relevant description of the item on any apple community page. Can anyone please explain whats this item and does the phone have to be reset to get rid of it. Although it may sound childish, but is there a possibility that its a key board logger developed by some hacker and its logging all the keystrokes and reporting somewhere. I would deeply appreciate if someone from Apple can address that.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1

OK, I see where you are looking now. It is listed on my iPhone 5s running iOS 9 as well. It is not listed in my apps on my iPhone 4, which is running iOS 7. I have seen other posts where people have asked about this, and only saw one that had a speculation that it probably was a part of the iOS: Keyboard Data (Chinese & Japanese)

Apparently it has been around since iOS 8, but not sure what it supports.

Best of luck,

Apple is not here - this is a user to user support forum. Not sure what you mean when you say you can "see" this item in your iCloud backup? Where are you looking? iCloud backup information is not directly accessible, so not sure what you are looking at?

Cheers,
