Then there are apps like Grammarly keyboard that even rectify your grammatical mistakes as you type. Therefore, it is quite natural if you wish to upgrade to a better third-party keyboard.

How to Change Default Keyboard on Android
Before you can change the default keyboard on your Android phone you will need to download a keyboard app. Let’s see how you can download a keyboard app and what are some of the best options for a new keyboard:
Download a New Keyboard App
The first step in changing your default keyboard is downloading a new keyboard app that will replace the current one. As mentioned earlier, there are hundreds of keyboards available on the Play Store. It is up to you to decide which one suits you the best. Here are a few suggestions that you might consider while browsing for your next keyboard. Some of the popular third-party keyboard apps:
SwiftKey
This is probably the most commonly used third-party keyboard. It is available for both Android and iOS, and that too completely free of charge. Two of the most exciting features of SwiftKey that makes it so popular is that it allows you to swipe your fingers over letters to type and its smart word prediction. SwiftKey scans your social media contents to understand your typing pattern and style, which enables it to make better suggestions. Apart from that, SwiftKey offers extensive customization options. Starting from themes, layout, one-handed mode, position, style, etc. almost every aspect can be changed.
Fleksy
This is another minimalistic app that has managed to gain popularity among Android and iOS users alike. It is just a three-line keypad that has done away with the spacebar, punctuations, and other additional keys. The function of the eliminated keys is carried out by a variety of swiping actions. For example, in order to put a space between words, you need to swipe right across the keyboard. Deleting a word is a left swipe and cycling through suggested words is a swipe in the downward direction. It might feel like a lot of work getting familiar to the various shortcuts and typing tricks but once you get used to it, you wouldn’t want anything else. Try it for yourself and see if Fleksy has the potential to become your next keyboard.
GO Keyboard
If you want a really fancy looking keyboard, then GO Keyboard is the one for you. Apart from hundreds of themes to choose from the app also allows you to set a custom image as the background for your keyboard. You can also set custom key tones, which adds a really unique element to your typing experience. While the app itself is free, you have to pay for some themes and tones.
Swipe
This keyboard first introduced the very useful swipe to type feature that we have talked about. Later, almost every other keyboard, including Google’s Gboard, followed suit and integrated swiping features in their apps. It is also one of the oldest custom keyboards in the market. Swipe is still popular and preferred by a lot of Android users. Its uber-cool and minimalistic interface makes it relevant amidst all its competitors.
