SUGGESTIONS The keyboard suggests what to insert next. Insert "Assalamu alaikum" — short, medium or full — and alif offers a form of address: brother, sister, brothers, sisters. Then the follow-up: "How are you?", "How are you doing?", or "How are you all doing?" for a group. One tap after another, nothing left to type. If the greeting goes in straight away, without choosing a length, the forms of address appear after a comma or a space. Brother, sister, brothers and sisters also follow "Jazaka-Llahu khayran", "Baraka-Llahu feek", "Wa iyyak" and "Wa feeka baraka-Llah" — already matched to the form you picked, so a phrase addressed to a man won't end up next to "sister". The other phrases have their own forms by gender and number and their own emoji: "Rahimahu-Llah", "Shafaka-Llah", "Tusbihu ala khayr", "Wa anta min ahli-l-khayr". The last three are new. And after "Alhamdulillah", "Masha Allah", "In sha Allah", "Subhan Allah", "Allahumma barik" and other phrases, just press space to pick an emoji. This used to mean going back to the regular keyboard. Now the whole message comes together in alif. SALAWAT "Said", "commanded", "forbade". Tap the salawat key, pick a variant, press space — the options appear. After "said" the colon and space are added for you; after "commanded" and "forbade", a space, so you can carry straight on. COMMA AND EXCLAMATION MARK Now right in alif — one less reason to switch keyboards. FIXES Fixed an issue where transliteration could appear in the system language instead of the main language selected in alif.

• Four forms of the salawat The salawat now comes in four variants: the salawat sign on its own, or a mention of the Prophet alongside it — "Prophet Muhammad", "Muhammad", "Messenger of Allah". They work like the salam forms — press and hold the one you want until the pin appears, and it'll be set as your default, one tap away. • Smart insert Paste several phrases into the same text field and you don't have to think about formatting: each one lands on its own line, while "Masha Allah" and "Tabarak Allah" join with a comma, since they're usually written together. Backspace deletes an inserted phrase in one go. • Optimised for iOS 27 Plus smaller fixes and improvements.

This is Mboard — now called Alif, with an update that changes everything We've rethought every detail: a new name, rebuilt code, and a new design — not just for the app, but for the keyboard itself. It's now noticeably easier to use and smarter. What's new: • The phrase library has grown significantly • Salaam now has short, medium, and full forms — with replies for each • "Jazak Allahu khayran," "Barak Allahu feek," and "Rahimahu Allah" have forms by gender and number, depending on who you're addressing • Pin the form you need — from then on it's inserted in one tap • Phrases in the original Arabic — with or without diacritics • Switch languages right on the keyboard, in one tap • Transliteration in 7 languages — Russian, English, Spanish, German, French, Kazakh, and Turkish — plus international (modified IJMES) for more precise pronunciation • Hide phrases you don't use — keep only what you need on the keyboard • Phrase order — by frequency of use or manually • Full iPad support • iCloud sync You used to be able to add phrases manually — the library is now curated by us, but you can always suggest a phrase you're missing. If you purchased Pro or VIP — restore your purchase in the app, and we'll upgrade you to lifetime Alif Premium for free, as a thank-you for being with us from the very beginning. If restoring doesn't work — email us at support@gatafan.com and we'll sort it out together. Thank you for your patience and trust over the years — this update was made for you.

We fixed several issues with the following functions in this version: - editing, adding and deleting phrases; - the sequence of phrases on the keyboard; - “First letter capitalization” and “Caps Lock”; - display of salawat ligature.
