Are you annoyed that typing on your Android keyboard always autocorrects your words and suggests emojis and other features that it deems valuable to you? Do you just want to turn off this underlining feature so that you can focus solely on typing your words? This step-by-step guide will walk you through how to turn off the underlining feature on your Android keyboard, so you can type without interruption.
Step 1: Uninstall Your Default Keyboard
In order to turn off the underlining feature of your Android keyboard, you must first uninstall the default keyboard. To do this, go to your device's Settings, then tap the Language & input section. Then, tap Default keyboard and choose the keyboard you want to uninstall. Once the keyboard has been uninstalled, reboot your device.
Step 2: Install a New Keyboard
Once you’ve uninstalled your default keyboard, you’re ready to install a new one. There are many third-party options you can use, like SwiftKey, Swype, and Fleksy. To install a new keyboard, go to your device's Google Play Store and search for the one you want to use. Then, once the keyboard is installed, open your device’s Settings and tap Language & input to change your keyboard.

Once you’ve selected your new keyboard, you need to activate it by opening your Settings and going to the Language & Input section. Then, tap Keyboard Settings and select the keyboard you want to activate. Finally, toggle the “Enable Keyboard” switch to the On position.
Step 4: Disable Autocorrect & Underlining
Now, you’re ready to turn off the underlining feature. To do this, open your keyboard and tap the Settings button at the top. Then, tap Advanced Settings and toggle the Underline switch to the Off position. You can also turn off autocorrect in this same menu.
