Tappy: T9 Keyboard [Android]

Try Tappy Keyboard FREE for up to 30 days, with no ads.

⌨️ Tappy Keyboard is for users looking for a big key keyboard, or who want an easy to use keyboard for "fat finger" typing. Tappy includes Type-9 (T9) and Compact Qwerty like layouts, as well as T13 and T13-TE (thumbs edition). Ordinary Qwerty is also included, as well as Qwertz and Azerty variations.

Tappy Keyboard includes fast text prediction in over 30 languages and variations. The T9 keyboard is non-learning, which ensures text prediction remains consistent, and typing is faster.

Unlike many other keyboards, Tappy supports all emojis supported by your Android phone — that’s up to 3,633 emojis — organised into nine categories, and with search and history features. Tappy isn’t just another big key keyboard with emoji support added as an afterthought.

If you love your GIFs and stickers, Tappy uses Giphy to give you access to all the GIFs, stickers, video clips, and text images, that you will ever need. And just as with emojis, search and history features are built right into the keyboard.

Privacy is a central feature to Tappy. Apart from Giphy search phrases, nothing that you type is stored or transmitted online. Text prediction is processed entirely on your own device.

Other features that Tappy Keyboard provides:
• choose between multi-tap or text prediction
• a selection of color themes to pick from
• sound and volume control
• option haptic feedback
• character previews
• quick-period option
• auto-capitalization option
• auto-space option
