Samsung's default keyboard is widely appreciated for its extensive customization options. Whether you want to modify its language, layout, themes, or overall size, it offers flexibility and personalization to suit your typing needs. To adjust these settings, users can navigate to Settings and select Samsung Keyboard.
Disabling the Samsung Keyboard Toolbar
If the toolbar on your Samsung keyboard is unnecessary or cumbersome, you can disable it by opening the keyboard and tapping the Settings icon that appears on the toolbar. Within the Settings menu, find the "Keyboard toolbar" option and toggle the switch to disable it. If you change your mind and want the toolbar back, you can re-enable it through the same settings path.
Language Customization and Switching
For those who type in multiple languages, the Samsung keyboard makes adding new languages straightforward. Users can access Languages and types, then Manage input languages in Settings, and enable the desired language. Switching between languages is seamless, done by tapping the language icon, commonly represented by a globe icon, on the keyboard. Downloading new languages is also possible via the download icon next to the language you wish to add.
Using Bitmoji Stickers Without Switching Keyboards
Some users enjoy using Bitmoji stickers in apps like WhatsApp but hesitate to switch to the Bitmoji keyboard as it may lack preferred features found in the Samsung Keyboard. While switching between different keyboards typically requires navigating deep into the Settings, a quicker method similar to language switching is desirable. Unfortunately, there currently isn't an alternative like swiping the space bar to switch keyboards, presenting a challenge for users wanting to use Bitmoji without changing their main keyboard.
Changing and Switching Keyboards
Users selecting a keyboard on a Samsung device can consider several factors, including functionality and personal preference. By going to Settings > General Management, users can choose their desired keyboard.

To change the default keyboard, navigate to Settings > General Management > Keyboard list and default > Default keyboard. Switching keyboards involves tapping the keyboard icon on the text field's bottom-right corner, allowing easy access to downloaded keyboards from the Samsung Store or Google Play Store. Additionally, users may opt for voice typing or specialized keyboards, such as GIF keyboards, enhancing the typing experience further.
Understanding Keyboard App Permissions
Concerned about app permissions? Users can review permissions granted to a keyboard app by going to Settings > Apps, selecting the keyboard app, and checking under Permissions. Additional information is accessible through the Google Play Store listing or the manufacturer's website, which can be a helpful resource when selecting a keyboard app aligned with privacy preferences.
