Common questions.
Where is the keyboard setting on Oppo and realme?
Usually Settings › Additional settings › Keyboard & input method. The fastest way is to open Addiyon and tap Enable in settings, which opens the right screen directly.
My keyboard switches back to the old one. What do I do?
Allow Addiyon to run in the background: open its app info, go to Battery, and allow background activity. Then choose Addiyon again as the default keyboard.
Is it the same on OnePlus?
Yes. OnePlus now uses the same system as Oppo, so the menus match. Searching Settings for keyboard finds the screen on any version.
Type Amharic in every app.
Addiyon Keyboard is free on Google Play. It turns English letters into Fidel as you type, works offline, and keeps your typing on your phone.
