FEATURES • Full phonetic Russian (ЯВЕРТЫ) letter board with dual legends • Label modes: Both, Cyrillic only, or English only • Number row with ъ/Ъ, ё/Ё, and soft sign • Shift and caps lock • Numbers and symbols boards • In-app Try It board • Works offline — Full Access not required • Light and dark keyboard appearance HOW TO ENABLE 1. Open Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards 2. Add New Keyboard… → Phonetic RU 3. In any app, tap globe and choose Phonetic RU Privacy: nothing you type is collected, stored, or sent. The keyboard runs fully on your device.
