title: Sharing Keyboards and Dictionaries - Keyman for iPhone and iPad Help
|
|
---
|
|
### Sharing Options
|
|
There are two supported ways to share keyboards and dictionaries:
|
|
|
|
1. By file
|
|
- You may copy and send the `.kmp` package containing the keyboard or dictionary to someone else.
|
|
2. By QR code
|
|
- You may show someone else a QR code that links directly to the package's download page.
|
|
|
|
### Sharing via File
|
|
Whenever you install a keyboard or dictionary from a file, Keyman makes a packaged copy of it on your device. You can find these copies in the iOS Files app.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simply select the "Keyman" folder to view these files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From here, longpress the file for the keyboard or dictionary you wish to share, then
|
|
click **Share** to view sharing options.
|
|
|
|
For installing this file on another device, you may wish to read [Installing custom keyboards/dictionaries](installing-custom-keyboards-dictionaries).
|
|
|
|
### Sharing via QR code
|
|
For keyboards and dictionaries downloaded directly through the app,
|
|
you can provide friends with a scannable QR code. First, find the resource
|
|
through the Settings menu under Installed Languages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you select the keyboard, a page like the following should appear:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that QR codes are only provided for keyboards and dictionaries
|
|
that are distributed by Keyman.
|
|
|
|
### Installing from QR code
|
|
To install from QR code, simply launch your device's Camera app and point
|
|
it at the code, as seen below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Selecting the notification seen at the top will lead you to the following page:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Selecting the big **Install on iPhone** (or **Install on iPad**) option will then download
|
|
the file for easy installation. (Refer to [Keyboard and Dictionary Installation](../start/installing-packages) for more information about installation.)
