You have an Android Phone - so feel free to install any keyboard of your choice.

BTW: I'm using swiftkey since 6 years and for me there is no better keyboard supporting 3 languages at the same time.

@MtykanI've just tried and you indeed can't disable Swiftkey. I'm afraid your best bet is just to use another keyboard from Play Store as @schickel suggested.

@MtykanI understand you and as I've said, I tried disabling it and couldn't find a way to do that. I don't know why is that, and I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it. some preloaded apps can't be disabled - same goes for What's New, for example.

How to get xperia keyboard

Xperia keyboard is far superior to swift key. Why is it not the default!?!! A lot of work to switch for a novice user as me and I suspect many users don't realise that they can switch. Then they have to endure with bad keyboard. Not fair. Please set Xperia as default!

Just Google how to remove bloat from xperia. Read how to use ADB from your PC/laptop and you can uninstall for the current user with both apps. What's New will still be available for install on the update screen...just don't install it and it will not bother you. Swiftkey will register as not installed for the current user. If you want to completely delete these and other system apps then you must root the phone, which will introduce many other issues that you probably want to avoid. I have done the ADB commands on my non-rooted premium and it works. Time for some reading.

I have disable the Swiftkey keyboard in the system setting. When I change the language from English to French canadian, the keyboard switch to swiftkey keyboard and I am not able to change the keyboard to xperia keyboard. This is unexceptable.I use the Sony xepria phone since the Xperia Z, Xperia-Z3 and I have never face to this problem.

i agree, Swiftkey is not for me, not being able to disable Personal Prediction is a deal breaker, no more Sonys if Swiftkey isn't removable

Hi @pathos;

You can disable Personal Prediction in SwiftKey, simply activate the incognito mode.

You can remove Swiftkey by installing other keyboards first. I did this by installing Xperia Keyboard 8.0.A.0.110 (8.1.A.0.12 won't work in XZP) from APK Mirror and ~~removing~~ disabling Swiftkey after that. Xperia keyboard is way superior to Swiftkey hence I don't understand why it's the default keyboard in a Xperia phone.

Edit: Correction. U can disable it, but u can't remove from your phone.

I read in some of the posts here that Xperia keyboard is responsible for the "missed touches" issue on XZ Premium phones. It is indeed a serious issue with Xperia keyboard on XZP. I switched to SwiftKey and the issue seems to be resolved - no missed touches so far. SwiftKey is not perfect in many respects, but Xperia keyboard is simply incompatible with XZP.

Although in my case it was 8.1.A.0.12. I should probably try a different version.

This is not true! SwiftKey is the best. The only problem is with ritch text editor, like here in our forum. Just disable rte in account settings.
