In the latest versions of iOS, the emoji keyboard comes preinstalled, so many people haven't had to add a keyboard to their iPhones in a while. But there is a whole world of 3rd-party keyboards, such as the font converters used to change your Twitter font or change your Instagram font. Or maybe you need to have a keyboard for another language like Chinese or Russian.

Here's how to get a new keyboard installed on your iPhone.
