Use Magic Keyboard with iPhone
You can use Magic Keyboard (available separately) to enter text on iPhone.
Note: Magic Keyboard doesn’t support all of the features that are available with the onscreen keyboard. For example, you can’t turn on dictation with Magic Keyboard.
For compatibility information about Apple Wireless Keyboard and third-party Bluetooth keyboards, see the Apple Support article Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Keyboard compatibility with iOS devices.
Connect Magic Keyboard to iPhone
The keyboard uses a Bluetooth connection to iPhone, so you need to pair them.
Make sure the keyboard is turned on and charged.
Tip: You can use the Battery widget to monitor the keyboard charge.
On iPhone, go to Settings
> Bluetooth, then turn on Bluetooth.
Tap Magic Keyboard when it appears in the Other Devices list.
Magic Keyboard disconnects when you turn the switch on the back of the keyboard to Off or when you move the keyboard or iPhone out of Bluetooth range—about 33 feet (10 meters). To reconnect, turn the switch to On or bring the keyboard and iPhone back into range, then tap any key. When Magic Keyboard is connected, the onscreen keyboard doesn’t appear.
To unpair Magic Keyboard, see Unpair a Bluetooth device.
Note: If Magic Keyboard is already paired with another device, you must unpair them before you can connect Magic Keyboard to your iPhone. On Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth, select the device, then Control-click its name. For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, see Unpair a Bluetooth device.
