Putting the Ñ on the keyboard of your Android mobile is easy. We explain how to do it on Samsung and any brand of cell phone, or third-party keyboard such as Gboard or SwiftKey .
Normally it is not necessary to do something to put the letter Ñ on the Android keyboard (the factory keyboard or any third-party keyboard). If the system language is in Spanish, applications generally inherit this language. Therefore, the keyboard should also be in Spanish and have the Ñ key.
The absence of the Ñ on the keyboard occurs when the Android system language is in English or another language. If you cannot or do not want to change the language of the device, surely if you can configure the letter Ñ on the installed keyboard, from its settings.
The following explains how to configure the letter Ñ on various keyboards. The procedure will be basically the same in any other case.
