Texts automatically start with a space.

[Karl Krasnowsky]

Turning off predictive text and auto spacing, worked for me!

Thanks for the tip, but while it fixes the space issue, running without predictive text and spacing poses even more problems.

I tried the reset on the Samsung Keyboard and it fixed my issue without turning off the auto spacing feature. Settings\Language & Input. Click on "Virtual Keyboard", select "Samsung Keyboard", Note your settings. Go to the bottom and click "Reset Settings".

That's all I did and now I don't get that nasty first space. I don't see any settings that it actually changed but it did something!

I read this thread because I had the same problem... went into the settings and apps and all apps, chose the Samsung Keyboard and did a "Force Stop". When it restarted, no more space is there when I start a text.

I actually returned my phone for this issue and had the same problem with the replacement. I agree that I shouldn't have to use a third party keyboard. I got the phone in September and the keyboard has been updated several times with no fix. WTH Samsung?! Swiftkey is fine, but I wish they had a dedicated long-press key for the ? and !. Pressing and sliding is not ideal for punctuation I use in most of my messages.

This worked for me, thanks! I had to go to Settings - General Management - Language and input - Virtual keyboard - Samsung Keyboard and scroll all the way down to "Reset settings" for my Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime.
