I can’t swap my keyboard (Samsung)

On newer Samsung phones, the default keyboard will only allow users to swap between different languages added to the Samsung keyboard instead of between any keyboards users may have installed. The best way to swap keyboards is to toggle on the Keyboard Button in your settings. This will save you from needing to go into your settings every time you need to swap your keyboard!

In your phone’s settings, you will need to scroll down to General Management, then Keyboard List and Default. Toggle on the last option, Keyboard button on navigation bar. There will now be a small keyboard icon in the bottom left corner of your screen when your keyboard is active. When this button is pressed and held, a menu with the keyboards you have installed will appear. Here, you can select which keyboard you would like active.

Note: If you have Voice Input active, you may see a small microphone instead of a keyboard icon. If you regularly use Voice Input and would like to keep this active, you can press and hold the microphone icon and swap it with the keyboard icon as needed, like in the below clip.

If you do not use Voice Input, you can turn this feature off so that the Keyboards Button is always showing. Return to your settings, and once again scroll down to General Management. Tap on Samsung Keyboard Settings, then Voice Input, and select None from the options listed. Now the microphone option will not be shown. If you wish to turn this feature back on, follow the same steps but select Samsung voice input.
