Just like other Samsung smartphones and tablets, the recently rolled out Galaxy S21 also sports a customizable keyboard. Thus users of this device who don’t like how the default keyboard works can do some tweaks and change the settings to make the keyboard work and look as they desire.

However, there is no guarantee that the end result is always fine. As a matter of fact, a lot of people have ended up having a glitching or unresponsive keyboard after modifying the default settings. 

Should you bump into the same issue or end up screwing up the Samsung keyboard on  your new Galaxy S21, then restoring its default state can be deemed a potential solution.

Here’s how to reset the S21 keyboard and restore its default settings without affecting other apps and system data.

Easy Steps to Reset Keyboard Settings on the Galaxy S21

1. To get started, swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen to access the Apps viewer.
