One UI 9 lets you uninstall SwiftKey Keyboard from Galaxy phones
SamMobile • • technology
Key Points:
- Galaxy phones running One UI 9.0 now allow users to completely uninstall the Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard app, freeing up about 55MB of storage, a capability not available in One UI 8.5.
- Previously, SwiftKey could only have its updates uninstalled and be disabled, but not fully removed from Samsung devices.
- The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and some recent Galaxy A series models like the Galaxy A57 do not come with SwiftKey pre-installed, likely due to their default use of One UI 9.0.
- Samsung and Microsoft had a longstanding partnership to pre-install Microsoft apps such as Office, OneDrive, OneNote, and SwiftKey on Galaxy devices, with integrations across Samsung apps.
- Samsung recently ended support for OneDrive integration in its Gallery app, signaling a possible end to their partnership, which may explain the new option to uninstall SwiftKey on One UI 9.0 devices.
