I am so happy to know that it worked
Can the amount of messages saved cause the keyboard to lag? I set the limit of text messages to 100 and the keyboard no longer lags when I send or receive messages.
Using Textra and the Swiftkey keyboard worked perfectly for me đŸ˜€
Nothing worked and this is the worst phone in the entire world
I love how all these tech forum say “use something else” as if that’s a solution. On a 700 dollar device, IT SHOULD JUST DAMN WORK.
