Hello,

I did some research before asking this. I consider myself to be rather technically inclined, however this is I cannot find the answer to anywhere, and it's really impacting day to day usage of this device.

I am using Gboard, due to the spelling and voice recognition capability, and the fact that the Google Assistant is trained to my voice. I have both Samsung and Google products in my home, including a TV, two speakers and a hub.

On both my Samsung s8, and my Samsung S10 Plus, I am able to change default keyboard to Gboard without issue. I am also able to set it so it is always the main keyboard I will use, outside a voice to text. However, when trying to use Gboard spelling correction, I can make the change without a problem. But without implementation, the phone reverts back to Samsung on its own, at the very least after a reboot, but mostly if the phone is on it will only take a few hours and it will automatically revert back. I currently have the Samsung keyboard not enabled, no permissions, no data usage no battery optimization, battery is actually restricted, and also I have it set to Gboard spelling auto correct.

I have cleared the cache and cleared the data on both keyboards on many occasions, and then revoked permissions from the default Samsung keyboard again, and disabled every setting including allowed to change system settings, allowed to install etc everything.

The reverting of spelling correction continuously goes back to Samsung no matter what I've tried. I don't want to root the phone in order to disable it permanently. It's an option, but I would rather not do it, as I like to retain the device in the current status it came in, does not matter if the warranty is up or not.

I'm not sure if anyone can help with this or not but I thought I would just ask maybe I'm missing something. Thank you,

Omar

Hi!

How do I change default spell checker in the secure folder? I can only change the "normal" OS.

Thank you!

Secure folder, go into keyboards and spelling there and change both to Gboard and close it. Then back in main profile do the same.

I might be misunderstanding you, but unfortunately, there seems to be no keyboards or spelling in the Secure Folder settings.

Hey, delete the secure and work folder apps with ADB debug as well as the honey board (Samsung keyboard), then change to spell check GBoard, and reboot, GBoard shall remain after that.

In the secure folder, click the plus sign >> add the gboard app >> update the settings to use Google's spell check
