Android users have long been able to disable the handwriting keyboard by going to Settings > Language & Input > Keyboard > On/Off. However, this option may be hidden in some cases, so here’s how to find it:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
  2. Tap on Language & Input.
  3. Under Keyboard, tap on On/Off.
  4. If the handwriting keyboard is currently turned off, it will be grayed out and you will see a switch next to it that says “OFF.” Tap on this switch to turn it back on. ..
