Can I upgrade my iphone keyboard?

There are different keyboards in the App Store. Microsoft SwiftKey was the one I used to use. I can't remember if the commas are on the same page but I think so
Switch keyboards with the globe icon. You might need to allow full access in Settings/ General/ Keyboard/ Keyboards then select the Google one. I thought about the Google keyboard but since any keyboard is able to record keystrokes I didn't feel comfortable with that.
That's to set full access. It opens whatever keyboard you had open last. Use the globe icon to switch between them till you get the Google one.
I downloaded that one. When I go to send a text message, I'm still stuck with the default iPhone keyboard.
Thanks. Am I correct that I will have to click on the globe icon every time I want to use the other keyboard to text someone?
I don't. Are you just going to Messages then clicking the text message for the person you want to text? It just stays whatever one I had
Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards. Then press the ‘Edit’ button on the top right corner. You will then be able to drag on the list of keyboards (using the the horizon lines) to the arrangement you prefer. The one on top should be the default one.

I never knew this. Is it supposed to default to the top keyboard? Mine just sticks with whatever keyboard I used last 🤷♂️
I think that’s because you’re used to the Samsung. I haven’t used android in a while so when I have to do something on my friends Note 9 It takes me a little bit to figure out what to do. Now if you mean by user friendly as in customizable oh yeah android is in a different category. There’s so many different things you can change on android that you can’t on iPhone.
