Sounds like glitch in the matrix on a serious note report the bug via Samsung members app so on next update they can issue a fix!

I don't see your picture but yes, the last update updated the keyboard in use. You have to go to your settings - General Management, Default Keyboard, a popup comes up, click the Settings wheel, Under Style and Layout you will see Mode, and there you have the options for which keyboards are used in Landscape and Portrait mode. I needed my Swype back.

Hi,  Thanks for the info but its still an issue, see attachments. I have correct settings for  a standard keyboard. I have even reset my keyboard but its still the same! Does anyone else get this issue?. It only happens on reboot (switch on). In apps, documents works all OK........I don't know whats happened....Keyboard setupSplit keyboard only seen on reboot of device

Thank you, Jason. Yes upon checking the latest update by our Samsung developers, the software update contains that the Split keyboard will only be seen on reboot of the device and there will be a follow-up update to fix this. We really do apologise for this inconvenience, Jason.

The problem with split keyboard on rebooting still persists. It’s 5 months now and still no solution, it’s a bit irritating having to type in a split keyboard. Please fix this soon.

Hi, seems to be resolved on s8 ultra tablet, but have heard nothing on a s7 plus update to resolve issue......

This worked on my S7+ tablet

Settings - Apps

hit the "sort" for Your apps

hit Show system apps then OK

select Samsung Keyboard

hit Force stop then OK

select Storage

select Clear data then Delete

Restart tablet - my keyboard came up in standard format where it was split keyboard before
