How do I add a keyboard to my Apple Watch 7?

Answered by Michael Wilson

To add a keyboard to your Apple Watch Series 7, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps. Let me walk you through the process.

1. First, make sure you have updated your Apple Watch to watchOS 8 or above. You can do this by going to the Watch app on your paired iPhone, selecting General, and then Software Update. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

2. Once your Apple Watch is running watchOS 8 or above, you can enable the keyboard without changing any settings. The Qwerty keyboard should be functional by default.

3. However, if you want to change the language or region settings for your Apple Watch’s keyboard, you can do so through the paired iPhone. Here’s how:

A. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
B. Scroll down and tap on General.
C. Select Language & Region.
D. Tap on iPhone Language.

4. In the iPhone Language settings, you can choose either English (UK) or English (USA) as your preferred language for the keyboard on your Apple Watch Series 7. Select the option that suits your preference.

5. Once you’ve selected the desired language, the keyboard on your Apple Watch will automatically update to reflect the chosen language. You can now use the Qwerty keyboard to type on your Apple Watch Series 7.

That’s it! You should now have a functional keyboard on your Apple Watch Series 7. Enjoy typing on your wrist!

Remember, these instructions are specifically for Apple Watch Series 7 running watchOS 8 or above. If you’re using a different Apple Watch model or an older version of watchOS, the steps may vary slightly.
