Switch between software keyboards

How to change between software keyboards on-screen.

Updated over a week ago

Summary

When the on-screen keyboard is visible, tap the keyboard icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen to quickly switch between enabled keyboards.

Steps

  1. Open any app with a text field

  2. Tap the text field so the on-screen keyboard appears

  3. Tap the keyboard icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen

  4. Select the keyboard you want to use from the list

Considerations

  • The keyboard icon only appears while the on-screen keyboard is active

  • No icon to switch on-screen keyboard appears: The icon will not appear if multiple keyboards are not active and installed. To switch between multiple keyboards, install and enable multiple keyboards on Sidephone.

  • Visit Settings to manage the available keyboards and their settings.


When to Contact Support

Create a support ticket if the keyboard switcher icon never appears in any app while the on-screen keyboard is visible.

What to Collect for Support

  • Whether the keyboard icon appears in the bottom-right when typing

  • Which keyboards are currently enabled

  • The app where the switcher does or does not appear

  • Whether a keypad module is attached

  • Sidephone OS version or date of last update
