Yes, there have been recent changes to keyboard extensions in iOS. Specifically, in iOS 18, Apple introduced a new multilingual keyboard that allows users to type in more than one language without needing to manually switch languages. This feature supports a unique multi-script typing experience, making it easier for users who speak multiple languages to communicate seamlessly.
Additionally, the keyboard now remembers the language used in different conversations, which enhances the user experience by automatically switching to the appropriate language based on the context of the conversation. This is particularly useful for users who frequently switch between languages, such as English and Chinese.
