• New: Settings ▸ "Click sound on key press". With the phone lying on a desk a vibration is hard to feel; the iOS keyboard click still comes through. Off by default, silent when the phone is muted. • Haptic feedback now has a strength: Off, Low, Medium or High (Settings ▸ Feedback). • The ⋯ menu now has a Mode submenu with every layout, including the standard keyboard and trackpad. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

• New: Side by side (⋯ menu) — keyboard on the left, trackpad on the right, made for a phone lying flat on a desk. It stays in landscape by itself, with Esc, ⌫, Home, End, Page Up/Down and arrow keys above the letters. • Firmer haptic feedback, now noticeable in Full keyboard mode too. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

• Connection diagnostics is now also in the ⋯ menu on the main screen, not only in Settings. • Removed a diagnostics line that never showed a correct value. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

• If Bluetooth is off, or BT Keys isn't allowed to use it, the status bar now says so and tells you how to fix it. • The pairing guide now warns you to pick "BT Keys" on the other device, not your iPhone's own name. • The optional connection feedback now includes a few technical details that help us fix pairing problems. As before, nothing is sent unless you tap Send. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

• Air pointer on the Remote screen and the presenter bar: hold the button and aim your phone at the screen — the cursor follows. Tap to click. • If nothing connects in the first few minutes, BT Keys asks once what got in the way. Nothing is sent unless you tap Send. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

• An iPad can now be the keyboard and trackpad too: tap "Use as keyboard" on first launch to type on a TV, PC or Mac. • So can a Mac: use its keyboard and trackpad to type on an iPhone, iPad, TV or PC. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

• Unlock and Restore Purchase now show that they're working, and tell you when the App Store can't be reached, instead of doing nothing. • The Unicode setup now names the Mac's "Unicode Hex Input" the way your Mac shows it in your language. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

• New keyboard layout: Hungarian, so ő and ű arrive as typed. • BT Keys is now available in Hungarian. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

• Korean now types on Windows, Android, Mac and iPad: Hangul goes out as standard 2-Set (두벌식) keys — just set the other device's input to Korean. • Typing Chinese or Japanese to a device that can't receive it now tells you what does work: the iPhone's English keyboard with pinyin or romaji, converted by the other device's own input method. • BT Keys is now available in Korean, Traditional Chinese, Italian, Polish, Dutch and Indonesian. • New keyboard layout: Polish (Programmers), so ą, ę, ł and ż arrive as typed. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

New in the remote: • Lock Screen controls: play/pause, previous/next and volume right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, without unlocking your iPhone (iOS 17 or later). • Brightness buttons for the screen you're connected to — iPad, Mac, laptop or Android. • A Home screen button. On an Android phone, tablet, handheld or TV box it goes straight to the home screen — the keyboard's Home key only moves the cursor there. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

Switching between modes now works in one tap: from the numpad, the trackpad and keyboard buttons in the top bar respond straight away, and the keyboard button also takes you straight out of the remote. Before, nothing happened until you left that mode first. Connecting a TV or PC is clearer: if one shows up in the Scan list, BT Keys now tells you to pair it from that device's own Bluetooth settings, instead of opening a link it could never use. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

Fixes a crash that could happen when the system undo gesture — a three-finger swipe or double-tap — landed on the app while typing. The device list also no longer closes the app when BT Keys runs on a Mac. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

New: a full keyboard. In the ⋯ menu, Full keyboard turns the whole screen into a laptop keyboard — Esc, F1–F12, the number row, Ctrl, Alt, ⌘ or Win, and arrow keys — labelled in your computer's own keyboard layout. Turn the phone sideways for full-size keys. Modifier keys now lock: double-tap Shift, Ctrl, Alt or ⌘ and it stays held until you tap it again. With Shift locked, the arrow keys select text on the other device. Something not working, or missing? Tell us at apopov.de/feedback.

The first-run guide is now a wizard. It asks what you are connecting to — Mac, iPad or iPhone, Windows, Android, or something else — and then shows only the steps for that device, including where to find its Bluetooth screen. For a Mac, iPad or iPhone on your own Apple Account, it is still no pairing at all. And if the phone does not show up there, the fixes for exactly that case are one tap away.

Numpad mode: the whole screen becomes a numeric keypad for a laptop that hasn't got one. It sends real keypad keys, so spreadsheet shortcuts and Alt-codes behave, and one tap swaps the digits for Home, End, Page keys and arrows. • The device list no longer fills with the neighbours' Bluetooth: distant devices are tucked behind one tap, while anything you are using stays put. • "Make discoverable for a new device" now says it worked, and names what to look for on the other device. • "Forget all devices" clears everything this phone remembers about the devices it has met — and says plainly what it cannot clear: the Bluetooth pairing itself, which belongs to iOS and survives even reinstalling. • Clearer status: the app now names the device it is linked to and says when a connection is up but the other end has not taken the keyboard yet, instead of leaving you guessing. • On an iPad or Mac, the app now explains that you do not need it installed there at all.

The other device no longer needs BT Keys installed. • Mac, iPad or iPhone on your Apple ID: open Devices, tap Scan and pick it. It connects from this side and becomes yours to type into, in every app. • On someone else's Apple ID: pair from that device's own Bluetooth settings, like any other Bluetooth keyboard. • Installing BT Keys on the other device and using Receive mode still works, if neither route does. Also in this version: • Trackpad-only mode: the whole screen becomes a trackpad, with no keyboard taking up half of it. One finger moves and clicks, two fingers scroll and right-click, tap-then-press drags, and a flick keeps gliding the way a laptop trackpad does. • Dark mode, with a Light / Dark / System switch in Settings. • Connected devices now show their real name and model where the device publishes them, instead of a hexadecimal code. Identify wiggles a device's pointer so you can see which screen you are about to type into. • A device that connects but stays silent is now nudged to re-read the keyboard — the fix for "it worked yesterday and does nothing today" — without disturbing devices that are working.

Typing now works with non-US keyboard layouts. In Settings, pick the keyboard layout the other device uses — German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, UK, Swiss, Belgian, Nordic, Latin American, US International and more — and letters, symbols and accents arrive exactly as you typed them. It must match the layout set on that device; a test button in Settings shows at a glance whether it does. Also in this version: • New Paste key: types your iPhone's clipboard on the other device — handy for a password from the Passwords app. It asks first, shows only the length, never the text, and turns into Stop while typing. It takes Caps Lock's place on the key row. • Pasted text and snippets are typed at a steadier pace, so Windows no longer loses keystrokes. • Shortcuts follow the other device's layout too, so Ctrl+Z undoes on a German keyboard. • Snippets now say when a character can't be typed on the other device, instead of skipping it silently.

BT Keys now speaks your language. The whole app — every button, message and explanation — is translated into Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and Chinese. Also in this version: • Give your phone a name that other devices show in their Bluetooth list. • Restore Purchase is now in Settings, not only on the purchase screen. • Arrow keys, Backspace and Delete repeat when you hold them. • Fixed a two-finger tap that sometimes did not register as a right-click. • Fast trackpad flicks now travel the full distance. • Fixed the app getting stuck on the simple keypad after a hiccup, which blocked Japanese, Chinese and Korean input. • Fixed the phone not becoming discoverable again after Bluetooth or Airplane Mode was switched off and on. • Fixed a held key occasionally staying pressed on the other device after a reset. • Better support for TVs and other devices that expect a basic keyboard. • VoiceOver now names every button.

• The host keyboard setting now separates Mac from iPad and iPhone. If you type into an iPad, pick the new iPad / iPhone option • Extended Unicode is offered only for a Mac, because a Mac is the only host where it can work. On an iPad it produced garbled characters, with no setting available to fix them • Trying to send Japanese, Chinese or Cyrillic to an iPad or iPhone now says plainly that it cannot be done, instead of appearing to work

• Japanese, Chinese and Korean keyboards now work. Kana flick, pinyin and hangul input used to send nothing at all; what you compose is now sent the moment you confirm it • The text you are composing appears above the keyboard, so you are not typing blind • Important for non-Latin text: the Mac must have "Unicode Hex Input" selected as its input source and Extended Unicode turned on in Settings. Without both you get garbled characters instead of your text

• Trackpad: slow, precise pointer movements and gentle two-finger scrolling now work — small motions used to be lost entirely • The keyboard comes back on its own after you name a newly connected device • New: forget a device — removes its name, ignore setting and "last used" status, including devices that aren't connected right now • Turning Bluetooth off no longer leaves a vanished device shown as connected while your free minutes keep counting • Long snippets and pasted text now arrive in full, paced to what the connection can handle • An unlocked purchase is recognized right away, even when the App Store is slow to respond • When recording a macro, naming it first no longer stops you recording keys afterwards

• Your free minutes now only count while you're actually using the app — not while it's in your pocket, and not when the only thing connected is a device you've chosen to ignore • Typing into the snippet, macro and settings screens now goes into the screen instead of to the connected device • Starting a snippet or macro while another is still playing no longer mixes the two together • Keys and mouse buttons can no longer be left stuck down on the connected device • Pairing recovers on its own if setting up the connection fails partway • Clearer setup: the app now says up front that a Mac, iPad or iPhone needs BT Keys installed on it too — and where to find it on a Mac

• Your keyboard now remembers the device you use it with — no more picking it from the list every time you open the app • The first time a new device connects, you're asked to name it — handy once you're connected to more than one • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows what you're connected to and takes you straight back to the app — turn it off anytime in Settings • A heads-up before your free time runs out, instead of stopping mid-word • Fixed a second pointer showing up on iPad while receiving input from another device
