How to add a Korean keyboard on Android (Gboard, Samsung)

Gboard (most Android phones):

1. Open any app where you can type, then tap the gear icon on the keyboard. (Or: Settings → System → Keyboard → On-screen keyboard → Gboard.)
2. Tap Languages → Add keyboard → Korean.
3. Choose 2 Bulsik and tap Done.
4. Switch languages with the globe key, or by holding the space bar.

Samsung Keyboard (Galaxy phones):

1. Open Settings → General management → Samsung Keyboard settings.
2. Tap Languages and types → Manage input languages and turn on 한국어 (you may need to download it).
3. Tap 한국어 and choose the Qwerty layout, not Chunjiin.
4. Swipe left or right on the space bar to switch languages.

Menu names differ slightly between phone makers and Android versions. If you cannot find a menu, search for “keyboard” inside Settings.
