Configure Android keyboard

The setting options that you will find here must always be coordinated with your personal preferences. The following tips can help you:

• Place a checkmark under "Keyboard layout and feedback" for the vibration feedback and do not use an acoustic tone when you press the key. This can quickly become a disruptive factor in quiet surroundings, whereas the slight vibrations can only be noticed by you.
• Download all dictionaries for the languages ​​in which you write regularly. This is the only way to correctly use auto-correction and suggested changes. To do this, tap on "Languages ​​and types" and then on "Manage input languages" .
• Try whether autocorrection is actually a help to you. If you type more accurately and with few errors anyway, you should deactivate it better to avoid incorrect corrections.
• Set the vibration duration for the keystroke in the advanced settings. In this way, you get the most pleasant feedback possible when writing.
