The method for updating the Samsung keyboard varies slightly depending on your Android version and device. However, the general process remains consistent across most devices.
Method 1: Using the Google Play Store
This is the most common and recommended way to update your Samsung Keyboard.

Open the Google Play Store: Locate the Play Store app icon on your device's home screen or app drawer and tap to open it.
-
Access Your Apps: Tap on your profile icon located in the top right corner. Then select "Manage apps & device".
-
Find Samsung Keyboard: In the "Manage apps & device" menu, you'll find a list of your installed apps. Search for "Samsung Keyboard" using the search bar at the top.
-
Check for Updates: If an update is available, you'll see an "Update" button next to the Samsung Keyboard app. Tap on this button.
-
Install the Update: The update will download and install automatically. You may need to wait a few moments depending on your internet connection speed and the size of the update.
-
Verify the Update: Once the update is complete, you can open the Samsung keyboard to verify that you have the latest version. Check for any new features or changes in the settings.

Many Android devices automatically update apps in the background. To ensure automatic updates are enabled:
-
Open the Google Play Store: Follow step 1 from Method 1.
