Slovak keyboard on iPhone not showing ď and ť when pressing and holding d and t

Hello , I’m using Slovak language on the Iphone keyboard and when I press and hold the letters d and t I won’t get the letters ď and ť . I had to swipe up when I hold the letters but with other letters I haven’t got this problem . I tried to reset the keyboards setting but it didn’t help.

If you are trying to type d’ or t’ using the Slovak Keyboard, you need to touch and hold the D or T key to reveal the available character options.


Initially, when you press and hold the D key, the keyboard may display D with a circumflex (ˆ) above it, as shown in Image 2. However, on the next attempt, it may offer the required d’ or t’ character.


Keep your finger pressed on the key until the desired character appears in the pop-up menu. Then, without lifting your finger prematurely, slide it to select d’ or t’, as appropriate, as shown in the images.


The key is to keep the D or T key pressed until the required character appears, and then select it from the available options.


See the pic below which is self-explanatory.

You are right, Apple has messed this up, you should not have to swipe up, press and hold alone should produce those characters.


Tell them you want it back that way via

You have misunderstood the issue.


The Slovak keyboard is supposed to produce Áčďéíľňôŕšťúýž via press/hold alone, without any need to select something from a popup menu. Suddenly this has stopped working for ď and ť even though it still works for the others. This is a bug which Apple needs to fix.

This seems fixed in iOS 27.2
