How to Easily Switch Between Languages in iOS 7 (Video)

The number of people who speak multiple languages is , and if you’re one of those people, you might also text and write emails in multiple languages, which you can enable for your keyboard in iOS7. However, it’s a little bit of a process to add and remove languages in Settings, and also to select the language you want by cycling through them with the Globe button on the keyboard. AnyBoard is a great tweak for the international spies among us which brings up a list of languages when you press the Globe button instead of cycling blindly through them. It’s free, easy to install and use, so even if you don’t speak/write in other languages, you can have some fun with it, like sending strange texts with Cherokee characters.
