Every manufacturer adapts Android a little for their own devices. For this reason, the instructions may differ slightly on some devices.

1. First open the "Settings" app on your Android device.
2. Select the category "Language & input" here. Sometimes you have to go to "advanced settings" beforehand.
3. In the section "Keyboard & input methods" you will find the different keyboards available. Select the desired keyboard here.
4. Use the standard keyboard "Gboard", then tap on "Text correction" and switch off the "Auto correction".
