Experiment 193 of 365, 2025 | Samsung Keyboard: Switch Keyboards, Add Samsung Pass, Customize Toolbar, Fix Keyboard Not Showing! 

Want to level up your Samsung typing experience? In this video, I’ll show you how to switch the keyboard fast, unlock powerful features in the Samsung Keyboard like Samsung Pass, and toolbar customization for peak productivity—let’s make your mobile workflow smoother than ever!

So let’s take a closer look at the Samsung Keyboard—which, by the way, offers limited customization by default. 

That said, now’s a great time to cover how to switch quickly from Samsung Keyboard to another option.

At the top of the keyboard is a row called the Keyboard Toolbar. If you don’t see it, you’ll need to go into the keyboard settings to enable it. 

In this video, you’ll see a picture-in-picture demonstration of how to do that.

Once the Keyboard Toolbar is enabled, we can customize what Samsung calls ‘Buttons’ by tapping the three dots on the far right.

This refreshes the page and displays a "+" icon in a circle, which we'll tap on. 

This refreshes the keyboard again, allowing us to remove existing Buttons from the Keyboard Toolbar or add new ones from the ‘Available Buttons’ list.

The goal here is to add Buttons you use frequently for easier accessibility, without overcrowding the Toolbar.

For this video, we’re focusing on quickly switching keyboards and accessing Samsung Pass, so we’ll add those two Buttons. However, you can also include other helpful options like Clipboard or Extract Text based on your needs.

Once the Keyboard Toolbar is set up the way you want, tap ‘Done’ to save your changes and back out. 

Now let’s focus on how to quickly switch from the Samsung Keyboard to another through the toolbar. 

Simply tap the gear icon in the toolbar to open the Samsung Keyboard settings in a new page.

Tap the back arrow in the top-left corner, next to the Samsung Keyboard title, to back out of this page. 

At the top of the page, you’ll see an option labeled ‘Default Keyboard,’ with your current selection listed underneath—in this case, ‘Samsung Keyboard.’

Tap the option to display a pop-up menu of available input methods. If none appear, start with the keyboard choices shown in this video as a reliable baseline.Personally, I recommend Google’s Gboard and Microsoft’s SwiftKey keyboard.

I like Microsoft’s SwiftKey for its deep customization options and AI capabilities, which are similar to the Samsung Keyboard.

You’ll need to download either of these from the Google Play Store and grant the necessary permissions in order for them to appear in the list.

Finally, simply select the keyboard you prefer.
