Open Google Play Store and search for the keyboard you want and download it. After you have installed it, move to Settings on your device.

Under Settings > click on the “Language and Input” option. This option may be available under “System” in some phones.

After you click on the “Language and Input” option, click on “Virtual Keyboard” or in “Current Keyboard”.

Now click on “Manage Keyboard” to see the latest keyboard installed. Here you will see the keyboard that you have installed but in disable form. Simply toggle on just next to the keyboard name to enable

Here you will get a warning message that tells you about the keyboard that will collect all text you type. Simply tap on OK and move to “Virtual Keyboard” settings again
