At this point, we aren't sure if this is a feature or a glitch in iOS 8. To return to another keyboard, simply tap and hold the <strong>globe key</strong> and make your selection again.</p> <p>That's it! The keyboard you chose should now appear throughout iOS in place of the built-in one that comes standard. Simply start using it.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26228"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='
