Samsung lets you customize its keyboard in multiple ways. Often while playing with the customization settings of the Samsung Keyboard, you might not like the look of your keyboard later. You want to get it back to normal, and there’s no need to go through every setting. This post will help reset your Samsung Keyboard and get it back to normal.

How to Reset Samsung Keyboard

The best way to get your Samsung Keyboard back to normal is to reset its settings using the native feature. Doing so will completely reset all the keyboard settings, such as size, theme, mode, etc. You will have to have to change the required settings per your preferences after resetting it.

To reset your Samsung Keyboard, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings on your Samsung Galaxy phone.

2. Go to “General management,” and tap on Samsung Keyboard settings.

2. Scroll down and tap on “Reset to default” settings followed by “Reset keyboard settings.” Confirm when asked.

If you don’t find the Samsung Keyboard settings via the above steps, go to “Settings -> General Management -> Language and input -> On-screen keyboard -> Samsung Keyboard.” Alternatively, open the Samsung Keyboard while using any app, then tap on the Settings icon on the keyboard to go to its settings.

If you know the settings you want to return to, you don’t need to reset all the settings. Reset each setting individually. For instance, you can reset the size, themes, etc., and get the default keyboard back.

How to Reset Keyboard Size

Open the Samsung Keyboard settings as shown above. Tap on “Size and transparency.” On the next screen, tap on the Reset button.

How to Reset Keyboard Symbols

The Samsung Keyboard allows you to change the symbols on the keyboard and replace them with the symbols of your choice. If you want to bring the original layout of symbols back, open Samsung Keyboard settings and go to Custom symbols. Tap on Reset.

How to Reset Keyboard Theme

There are two ways to change the color of the Samsung Keyboard, depending on the method used to change the theme. First, open the Samsung Keyboard settings and go to Theme. Choose a theme other than your preferred option.

If that doesn’t reset the keyboard theme, you might have changed the theme of your phone, which in turn changes the keyboard’s theme. Here’s how to change that.

1. Open Settings on your phone and go to Themes. You will be taken to the Galaxy Theme story.

2. Tap on the three-bar icon at the top and select “My stuff.”

3. Tap on the Default theme option.

How to Disable High Contrast Keyboard

If you are seeing a yellow, black, or blue keyboard, you might have enabled the high-contrast setting. To disable it, go to the Samsung Keyboard settings and turn off the toggle next to “High contrast keyboard.”

How to Change Keyboard Mode

You can use your Samsung Keyboard in one-handed, floating, and split modes apart from the standard mode. All the modes show the keyboard in different sizes and positions. If resetting the keyboard’s size didn’t help, you should try changing the keyboard mode.

For that, open the Samsung Keyboard settings and tap on Mode. Choose Standard mode from the options.

That’s how easy it is to get your Samsung Keyboard back to normal. If you were thinking of switching your keyboard, you know longer need to, but if you’d still like to, check out these amazing keyboards for Android phones. If you don’t like on-screen keyboards, you can use a physical keyboard to type on your phone instead.
