Enter Text
You can type on your phone using the touchscreen Samsung keyboard or Google™ voice typing.
Note: Keyboard layouts and options may change depending on where you are using them. For
example, if you are entering text to do a Web search, a search icon may be available instead of an
enter key.
Samsung Keyboard
Use the touchscreen Samsung keyboard for entering text. The keyboard appears automatically
when you tap a text entry field, and can be used in either portrait or landscape mode. You can also
use the Google voice typing option to enter text using your voice.
The Samsung keyboard offers a traditional QWERTY keyboard setup for entering text by tapping
keys (like on a computer), along with enhancements and options that allow you to enter text faster
and more accurately, such as continuous key input, personalized usage dictionaries, and more.
Assign Samsung Keyboard for Text Entry
If you have multiple text input methods installed on your device, you can select the Samsung
keyboard to be your default text input method from Settings, or you can choose it at any time while
entering text.
Note: The Samsung keyboard is the default text input method on your phone. Additional keyboards
and input methods are available for download from the Google Play™ store.
