How to Change Default Keyboard on Android Phone & Switch to Google Keyboard (Best Method)
1The best and most reliable method to change the default keyboard on your Android phone and switch to the Google Keyboard (Gboard) involves two simple steps: installation and selection within the system settings.
Here is the step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Install Gboard (Google Keyboard)
If you don't already have Gboard installed on your phone, you need to get it first.
Open the Google Play Store app on your phone.
Search for "Gboard" (or "Google Keyboard").
Tap on the official Gboard - The Google Keyboard app and tap the Install button.
Step 2: Set Gboard as the Default Keyboard
Once Gboard is installed, you can switch it from your phone's main settings menu. While the exact menu names can vary slightly by phone brand (Samsung, Pixel, Motorola, etc.), the core steps are the same.
Open your phone's Settings app.
Search for or navigate to one of the following menu paths:
System → Languages & input → Virtual keyboard
General management → Keyboard list and default
Search for "Keyboard" or "Input" in the Settings search bar.
Tap on the option that lets you manage your installed keyboards (often called "Keyboard list and default" or "Manage keyboards").
Make sure the toggle switch next to "Gboard" is turned On. (You may see a warning about keyboards collecting data; tap OK to accept).
Go back to the previous screen (e.g., "Keyboard list and default").
Tap Default keyboard (or Current keyboard).
A pop-up list will appear with all your active keyboards. Select Gboard.
