There are two apps on any smartphone that you interact with and use at all times: the launcher and the keyboard. We always tend to forget how crucial a keyboard is; it’s not the sexiest app, and many people may not even consider it an “app” since it’s just… there. It’s a tool to get a job done.
But think about it. You use your keyboard to send messages or emails, to post on social media, to add calendar events, to browse, to talk to AI agents, and to search for anything in any app. Until voice typing is as reliable and as widely used, keyboards are the most fundamental way we interact with our phones. They can elevate your experience, just like they can ruin it. Case in point: Samsung’s poor excuse for a keyboard.
