How to Change the Default Keyboard
After downloading an Android keyboard—or even more than one—launch it to complete the installation. Most apps walk you through the process of enabling a keyboard and setting it as the default, but it’s also easy to do so manually.
How to Switch Between Android Keyboards
Android doesn’t put a limit on how many keyboard apps users can download. If you have more than one keyboard you like to use; it’s easy to switch between them as needed. For instance, you might have a keyboard you prefer for work stuff, another for friends, a third for silly GIFs, and maybe one in a different language. You might also prefer voice typing aka speech to text in some scenarios.
Viewing Android Keyboard Permissions
To see what permissions you’ve granted a keyboard app, go to Settings > Apps & notifications. Tap See all <#> apps and select the keyboard app from the list. Look under permissions: if it says no permissions granted, you don’t need to do anything else. Otherwise, you’ll see a number. Tap Permissions to see which ones are allowed and which ones are denied. You can find out more about what the app collects by visiting the Google Play Store listing or the company’s website.
