## What is T9 Keyboard?

T9 Keyboard brings classic phone keypad typing back to iPhone and iPad.

Type with a familiar 12-key layout inspired by old-school mobile phones. Tap 2 for A, B, C, tap 3 for D, E, F, and keep cycling through letters and numbers just like classic multi-tap texting.

Built as a real iOS keyboard extension, T9 Keyboard works in most text fields across your device once enabled in Settings. It includes a bold retro keypad design, strong haptic feedback, delete, return, shift, space, punctuation, and the globe key for switching keyboards.

The app also includes a 30-second T9 typing challenge so you can test your speed and see how fast your thumbs still are.

Features:
- Classic 12-key phone keypad layout
- Multi-tap letter cycling
- Numbers, punctuation, space, shift, delete, and return
- Strong haptic feedback
- Works as an iOS custom keyboard
- Built-in T9 typing speed challenge
- No full keyboard access required

Perfect for anyone who misses classic texting, wants a retro keyboard, or just wants a fun alternative way to type on iPhone or iPad.
