Step 1 of 8: How to change Android keyboard: Changing your default keyboard

To change your Android keyboard, go into your Settings, scroll down to Language & input, then tap on Current Keyboard to be presented with a pop-up window.
Within this window you'll have the choice to change your keyboard. However, if you do not have another keyboard installed, the option might be greyed out or won't provide you with another option over Google's stock keyboard.
If you've recently installed a new keyboard, and you don't see it in the Default Keyboard pop-up, tap the option again and tap on Configure input methods. From here, toggle your newly installed keyboard and it should now be presented in your keyboard inputs.
