Stock email app and typing issues S7 Edge

I like the way Samsung Keyboard has the numbers at the top. I don't see an option to do that on Google Keyboard. Does SwiftKey have this?

Seems Google (was responsible and) has solved the bug, the Beta version of Android System Webview in Play Store (v. 55.0.2883.36) working fine with Samsung Keyboard again. The current version (54.0.2840.68) has the problem.

Thank you for pointing out the culprit. I uninstalled all Android System Webview updates and my keyboard is working again. I can't find the beta version, so the older version will do for now.

What's your first app you download when you get a new phone?

SwiftKey. Then I wait for it to install and set it up before doing anything else. Lol.

Which is better SwiftKey vs Google vs Samsung, and why ?

For ne Swiftkey. Can have 3 languages active all at once, has better predictions, and is better optimized for Edge screen than Google. Has more options in general. The only thing I like about the Google Keyboard is the easy access to one hand keyboard button.

Stock email app on GS7 Edge having typing issues. Whenever I try to type contractions like I'm it replaces the ' with " and deletes any letters after auotmatically. It also changes words like autocorrect into aautocorret and three to ttree... Autoreplace, autocaps, autospace and autopunctuate are all turned off. I talked to support twice and had someone access my device remotely. Reset my keyboard settings and the issue is still present. I was told to bring it in for service. Is there a way to fix this without wiping my device and bringing to get serviced.

I can confirm this keyboard issue is being caused by the Android System Webview update. Force Stop and disable the update and all will be OK.

Samsung has no clue about this when contacting their tech support staff by phone.
