Undo and Redo Typing
We all make mistakes when typing, especially on a touch screen.
Samsung makes it easy toundo or redo typing with gestures.
The only downside is you might’t use this feature with swipe typing.
Instead, you have to go to a secondary layout, which is annoying.
It can be enabled at options > Swipe, Touch, and Feedback > Touch and Hold Space Bar.
you might fully customize the symbols that are available in this menu.
Go to parameters > Custom Symbols, then select any symbol and replace it with your own.
Not everyone likes the haptic feedback when typing.Thankfully, it can be disabled.
Go to parameters > Swipe, Touch, and Feedback > Touch Feedback > Toggle Off “Vibration.”
Things like email address, home addresses, and full names.
Go to parameters > Text Shortcuts > Tap the plus button.The iPhone has a similar feature.
Turn Off Autocorrect
Look, you either live with autocorrect or you hate it with passion.
If you fall in the latter group, you caneasily disable autocorrect on the Samsung Keyboard.
No more four-letter words showing up as “duck,” if you know what I mean.
you’re able to find the option at options > Predictive Text.
That’s a pain.
Instead, you’re able to do it all right from the Samsung Keyboard.
Tap the three-dot menu icon and select “Translate” to choose languages and do the translation.
Samsung Galaxy phones have a lot of features—for better or worse.
The keyboard is a good example of that.
