In order to fix Unfortunately, LG keyboard has stopped, there are multiple ways which you can take. I will list the best solutions.
Fix LG Keyboard has stopped
Changing the Keyboard
Go to the settings app in your LG Android phone.
Now scroll down and tap on the “Language and Input” section. If you are using some other version of the phone or OS, try to find the similar section in the Settings app. There is not much difference in the versions.
Now you will see the option saying “LG Keyboard”. If you were using the LG Keyboard, it will be tick marked or checked. This is the default keyboard in all the LG phones as you can see in the image below. The default app section shows the LG keyboard.
In order to fix the LG keyboard problem, you should simply switch to the Android keyboard. This keyboard comes preloaded in your LG Android device.
Now tap on the “Default” button and select the “English” keyboard language instead of the LG.
That’s it. Come back to the messages app or any other place where you need to use the keyboard and you will see that the keyboard app is changed. You will see the sweet, clean and stable Android keyboard which shows the adroitness of Google.
Android keyboard never stalls. It is stable and worthy of being the default keyboard. LG keyboard has given a lot of problems to the users lately. No update has been able to fix it.
But I do not see the Android Keyboard option?
It is important to note that not all users will find the “Android” keyboard alternative. In that case, no need to worry; just download and install any good third party keyboard. I would recommend GO SMS or Swift Keyboard. Or if you want the Android keyboard, you will have to hard reset the phone or try searching the apk or app of the Google’s Android keyboard.
As soon as you install the keyboard, you will get the option to select it as your default keyboard instead of the LG keyboard.
