Can I connect an Apple keyboard to an iPhone?

Published in iPhone Connectivity 2 mins read

Yes, you can connect an Apple keyboard to an iPhone using Bluetooth.

Apple's Magic Keyboard, including the Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, is compatible with iPhones and allows you to enter text. This connection is established wirelessly via Bluetooth.

How to Connect an Apple Keyboard to your iPhone:

  1. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone: Go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure the toggle is switched on.
  2. Turn on your Apple Keyboard: The keyboard should automatically be discoverable if it's new or hasn't been paired with another device.
  3. Put the Keyboard in Pairing Mode (if necessary): Some older Apple keyboards may require you to press the power button to enter pairing mode. Consult your keyboard's manual for specific instructions.
  4. Select the Keyboard on your iPhone: Your iPhone will scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. Look for your Apple Keyboard in the "Other Devices" list. Tap on it to initiate the pairing process.
  5. Enter the Pairing Code (if prompted): If your iPhone displays a passcode, type it on the keyboard and press Enter.
  6. The keyboard should now be connected: Once the pairing is complete, your keyboard will appear in the "My Devices" list and will be connected.

Once connected, you can use the Apple keyboard to type in any text field on your iPhone, just as you would on a computer. This is particularly useful for writing emails, documents, or any task involving extensive typing.
