How to install UK keybaord on LG G4 grey import from Tiwan?

Bought a Tiwan LG G4 H815 phone
Using it in the UK
Trying to change the regional settings to UK but there is no option for this.
I want the GBP £ pound sign (without pressing and holding L)
and when I press and hold the ".com" I want ".co.uk" option not ".tw" option
Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums. When you changed the region settings, do you mean in the keyboard itself?

Hi Thanks for reply
The phone came with English-English QWERTY keyboard installed
I can change the languange, but there is no English UK keyboard
The currency symbol is by default $ or Euro (no £ sign)
and the .com bar, gives the choice of .com/.net/.tw but not .co.uk
Small issue, just surprised that this is not customisable as with most other android phones
At least I have not found a way of changing it yet!

Maybe a different keyboard? I was using a G4 but I loaded Google's instead of using LG's. Perhaps that might work?

Where do you install from, play store?
I cant find a way to change it from settings... which is a bit odd...

Yup. Google's keyboard is on Play.
As for settings....it should be under Language an Input.

Thanks, tried installing google keyboard.
This solves the £ sign issue
but doesn't support any internet domain endings
eg with the native LG keyboard if you type a url in the browser, the keyboard includes a ".com" button which if you long-press has other options (in my case .net or .tw).
When typing a url into the browser using the google keyboard there is no such button at all.
I think some people prefer dictionary support on the google keyboard though if i'm not mistaken. Only just started using the phone so will play around with both

Not sure what else to suggest. I usually just search for the site, and if its one I will use a lot, I bookmark it.
