For iPhone AI social replies, an iOS keyboard and Share Extension solve different problems. The keyboard helps where the user types; the Share Extension helps pass post context into TypeToSell. The best iOS ReplyPilot plan pairs them after mobile web and Android keyboard assumptions are validated.
Last updated: July 11, 2026. This guide cites official platform documentation where platform behavior matters.
Guide
An iOS keyboard can help with text entry, but keyboard flows can be constrained. For reply generation, the hard part is not only inserting text; it is getting enough source-post context to create a specific draft.
A Share Extension gives users a familiar way to send post text or page context into the drafting workflow. It can complement the keyboard by capturing context before the user returns to the composer.
The iOS pair is valuable, but it should not be first. Mobile web and Android keyboard learning should prove that people want mobile reply drafting before the team builds and supports two iOS extension surfaces.
Comparison
Best for text entry and insertion
Weak if it cannot access enough post context.
Best for context handoff
Does not live inside the composer by itself.
Best first validation path
Less seamless than native iOS surfaces.
Best for Safari mobile web users
Not enough for native-app-first behavior.

FAQ
Probably not. A keyboard helps insertion, but a Share Extension helps move post context into the generator.
Only non-sensitive client state. Raw posts, generated replies, private messages, and profile URLs should not be stored there.
No. These guide pages describe the recommended roadmap and implementation criteria.
