Enable the keyboard
- Open iOS Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards.
- Tap Add New Keyboard and choose SlashKey.
- Open a text field, hold the globe key, and select SlashKey.
Try a command
Open SlashKey's “Try it” screen, switch to the SlashKey keyboard, and enter a command such as /calc (12 + 3) / 5, /convert 180cm to feet, /date, or :smile:.
Full Access
Full Access is optional. The keyboard, local commands, emoji, English suggestions, autocorrection, unit conversion, and downloaded on-device translation work without it.
Enable Full Access to use profile values saved in the SlashKey app, look up permitted Contacts with a named command, or fetch published public reference currency rates. Named contact lookup also requires separate Contacts permission. Go to Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → SlashKey, then turn on Allow Full Access.
Profile commands show no result
Open SlashKey → Settings → Your Profile. Enter values manually or choose a contact, review the imported fields, and tap Save. Then confirm Full Access is enabled for the keyboard. Bare commands such as /name use this saved profile. To search another person, allow Contacts access in SlashKey Settings and use a command such as /address John. Limited Contacts permission searches only the contacts you permit.
Translation needs a language download
Open SlashKey → Settings → Translation Languages and prepare the requested Apple-supported language pair. Translation availability varies by device, language pair, and downloaded Apple models.
SlashKey is missing from a field
iOS uses the system keyboard in secure text fields. Individual apps can also disable third-party keyboards. This is expected system behavior.
Currency conversion is unavailable
Published reference rates require Full Access and a working internet connection. SlashKey sends only the source and target currency codes; the amount is calculated on your device. Rates may not match a bank or card issuer.
Compatibility
SlashKey requires iOS or iPadOS 27.0 or later and supports iPhone and iPad.
