What keyboard are you using?

I tried to use the samsung keyboard for a day but couldn't. Had to switch to gboard. Unfortunately, the samsung messaging app does not support gif entry with gboard. May start using textra again for that.

Have they improved it any over the S7 edge?

Everything still looks the same to me.

Hmm, I used the Samsung keyboard for a long time until just recently. Everyone told me the prediction sucked, they were right. After using Gboard and SwiftKey I cannot go back. It is one of the two stock apps I no longer use.

I heard a lot of good things about Gboard. I might give it a try.

Gboard. Oddly enough, it works better on the iPhone for some reason. The GIF search is flawless on the iPhone. Not so much on Android.

The GIF feature wont work in Samsung's messaging app. Sammy needs to update their app.

Stock is pretty good. Trying it out for now. Otherwise back to gboard I go.

I tried both the stock keyboard and Gboard -- but settled on the BlackBerry keyboard. It suits me much better.

I've used SwiftKey since my first day getting a Samsung when the Galaxy S4 came out. Never went back to any other keyboard. It's amazing.

Fyi (people probably know) but I've heard a lot of people say (accross a few threads) that I'm like the voice to text with the stock Samsung keyboard, it seems like you couldn't change it before the update that dropped a couple days ago but I just checked and I was able to disable Samsung voice to text and just use Google with the stock Samsung keyboard.

I was using GBoard. I see that the stock Samsung keyboard is improved somewhat over the one on the S7 Edge (e.g., new custom symbols feature). I think I'll try the stock one for a week and see.

G-board. I love how the Google feature is right there.

I was Swiftkey forever, but for some reason lately it has been less accurate with swiping, and something changed to where using punctuation in sentences is a pain. Tried GBoard based on this thread, and really like it so far.

I won't have the S8+ until next week but I will be sideloading the BlackBerry keyboard on it. Can't beat flicking the words up from the letters and deleting full words with a back swipe across. Best keyboard in my opinion.

I am using the stock right now. I don't know what was improved but I've had less errors so far

Could that be because maybe the keyboard is a little bigger?

I just tried Gboard briefly. I like some of its features, but is there a way to get it to display symbols on the letter keys (to select by long-pressing)? I prefer not to switch back and forth between the letter layout and the symbol layout.

Blackberry keyboard here. Best I've used. Love the swipe up for words.
