- Microsoft SwitftKey is the best overall keyboard for iPhone users with numbers row.
- Gboard supports voice search but collects user data.
- ReBoard is a more secure alternative of Gboard that offers the same features.
1. Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard – Best Overall for iPhone
Developed by TouchKey (a Microsoft-owned subsidiary), SwiftKey is a phenomenal keyboard for the iPhone. It comes with multiple colorful themes (dark mode, anyone?) and lets you create custom themes with your photo library.
With features such as swipe typing, expandable quick shortcuts (insert GIFs, photos, emojis, etc.), and support for over 150 languages, SwiftKey beats the stock iPhone keyboard to the punch.
But most importantly, SwiftKey comes with a dedicated number row at the top of the keyboard, which is insanely useful when rapidly firing numbers and is of paramount importance. Here’s how to enable it.
Step 1 : Open SwiftKey and then follow the on-screen steps to set it as your default keyboard .
Step 2: Open the SwitftKey app > Settings > enable Number Row .
The number row is disabled by default — to enable it, just open the SwiftKey app, tap Settings, and then turn on the switch next to Number Row. Furthermore, you can also use ChatGPT with WhatsApp using its AI.
Pros
- Swipe typing
- Expandable quick shortcuts
- Support for 150 languages
Cons
- Causes iPhone battery drain
- Voice-To-Text feature might not work well every time.
- Collects typing data

2. Fleksy – Best iOS GIF Keyboard With Themes
Fleksy is another amazing keyboard for the iPhone. It comes with dozens of colorful themes (both free and paid) that make everything stand out. And the keys are well spaced out, too — if you have large fingers, expect a sharp downturn in unintended typos.
The keyboard also sports a dedicated number row, but you need to enable it, which is accomplished using what Fleksy calls Extensions.
Open the app > Extensions > tap on Number Row > Add .
While you are at it, don’t forget to try out some of the other extensions, such as Cursor Control, Hot Keys, and One-Handed Control. Hot Keys offers an additional row that displays often-used keys such as emojis and symbols.
Pros
- Send GIFs using the keyboard
- Add extensions for better usability
- Add hotkeys
Cons
- Paid themes
- No haptic feedback on keypress.
Price: Free, pay for themes

3. Gboard – Supports Google Voice Search
Brought to you by none other than Google itself, Gboard is one of the most popular keyboards out there. Not only is it chock-full of features such as Glide Typing, Emoji Search, Stickers, and Google Translate, but it also comes with Google Voice Search support, which in our opinion, beats iPhone’s integrated Dictation functionality hands down.
Gboard also features numbers on the top of the keyboard, but not in the form of a dedicated number row. Rather, they work as alternative characters — simply press and hold any standard keys on the top row for a second to insert the corresponding number.
If you don’t see alternative numbers displayed within the upper row of the keyboard, here’s how to enable it.
Open the Gboard app > Keyboard settings > enable Show number row .
Not as convenient as using SwiftKey or Fleksy, but at least you have more screen real estate to work around while still retaining the ability to insert numbers.
Pros
- Glide Typing
- Emoji search
- Google Translate built-in
Cons
- Collects user data

Tip: Refer to our post if Gboard stops working on your iPhone.
4. ReBoard Keyboard – More Secure Gboard Alternative
If you don’t like Gboard’s attempts at collecting data, ReBoard is the perfect replacement. It offers features such as theme customization, GIF and sticker support, emojis, quick typing, image searching, video searching, etc. And just like on Gboard, it has numbers on the top row that work as alternative keys.
But unlike the Gboard, you can immediately insert numbers with a swipe-up action instead of pressing and holding, which is far more convenient once you get the hang of it. The keys are a standard feature in ReBoard, so you don’t have to worry about enabling them.
Pros
- Built-in Number row
- More secure than Gboard
Cons
- Text correction might not work every time.

- Add a header to print your company name, address, logo, etc., on every page.

Print the First Row or Column on Every Excel Page
Step 1: On your workbook, select the desired sheet and navigate to the Page Layout tab on the ribbon.
Step 2: Then, click on the icon for Page Titles under the Page Setup section.
Step 3: In the Page Setup modal window, switch to the Sheet tab and spot the section for Print titles . It includes row and column options.
Note: Though we focus on the header row, the setting can also be applied to columns.
Step 4: To set up printing of the top row on each page, click on the Arrow up button in front of ‘Rows to repeat at top’ text box. For columns, take the second one.
Step 5: That will take you to the Excel sheet along with a dialog box. Click row number 1 (on the sheet) and press the arrow-down button in front of it.
Here, you can select multiple rows on each page if you wish to repeat them. Generally, you would want the top row and, in rare circumstances, the leftmost column.
Step 6: Back in the Page Setup modal window, you will see the text boxes populated with the row/column values to repeat on each page. You can choose Print Preview to ensure the print includes a header or columns on all pages.
In the print preview, check whether the settings work. Note that the settings are sheet-specific and do not apply to the workbook.

How Do You Print Row and Column Numbers When Printing in Excel?
Sometimes, you also want to print row headings 1, 2, . . . and column headings A, B, . . . To achieve this, navigate to Page Layout > Sheet Options and check the Row and column headings box in the Print section.
Why Is Print Titles Button Greyed Out?
If you cannot access the Print Titles button, it might be because you are editing a cell or have a chart selected. Similarly, if you cannot use the Rows to repeat at the top spreadsheet icon, it could be because you have selected multiple worksheets within your workbook.
