How do I fix my Samsung keyboard from lagging?

Many users try different keyboards for additional features and functionality, but chances are there that your device may not support it. We recommend using the Samsung Keyboard that comes preinstalled on your device to avoid any incompatibility issues. To enable the default keyboard on Samsung then follow the given below steps.

1. Open 'Settings'.

2. Tap 'General Management'.

3. Tap 'Keyboard list and default'.

4. Tap the 'Default keyboard'.

5. Choose 'Samsung Keyboard'.

The great thing about the default Samsung keyboard is how customizable it is. You can change the language, layout, themes, size, feedback, and even add custom symbols.Find out more about How to use keyboard settings at 'How to use keyboard settings on your Galaxy device’ with Samsung Support.

Restarting your phone is the most common solution to fix minor glitches and bugs on your device.

• On phones with a regular Power key, press and hold the Power key until the Power menu is displayed.
• On phones without a dedicated power button, swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to open Quick settings. Tap the Power icon at the top of the screen.

Tap Restart, and then tap Restart again to confirm. Your device will then turn on and off.

Open Settings, tap Software update > Download and install or Check for updates. If an update is available, follow the on-screen prompts to update your device. After the update, your device will restart.

Launching your phone in Safe Mode allows only the core applications to run on your phone enabling you to observe its performance without the impact of your third-party applications. 

• On phones with a regular Power key, press and hold the Power key until the Power menu is displayed.
• On phones without a dedicated power button, swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to open Quick settings. Tap the Power icon at the top of the screen.

Hold Power off until the Safe mode icon is displayed. Tap Safe mode to restart your phone in Safe mode. If you've entered Safe mode successfully, you'll see "Safe mode" displayed at the bottom of the screen.

If the problem no longer occurs when you are in Safe mode, a third-party app was causing the problem. Uninstall any recently installed apps. Turn on the phone normally by restarting it, and then check if the keyboard is working.

Has your phone recently encountered random falls and drops? If yes, then it could result in physical damage to the screen that resulted in a keyboard issue. In such a scenario, we recommend bringing it to the nearest Authorized Service Center or booking an appointment for repair.
