Want to disable the BlackBerry Keyboard app extensions? It can be done and we'll show you how!
While the majority of folks out there seem to appreciate the new Quick Mode extensions BlackBerry has brought to their keyboard app, like most changes, it's not for everyone. If you're among those who don't like them, don't want to use them or just don't want them getting in the way, there is a way to disable them.
How to disable the BlackBerry Keyboard app extensions
Swipe down from the top of your screen and tap the gear icon.
Tap Languages & input. Then tap Keyboard settings
Tap BlackBerry Keyboard. Then tap Advanced
Tap Keyboard extensions and tap on the toggle to disable
And that's all there is to it. Once disabled they'll disappear from your view when using the keyboard app. Should you wish to ever enable them again, all you have to do is repeat the process and turn on the toggle.

How to disable the BlackBerry Keyboard app extensions
****, first look at the pic thought Oooh, physical keyboard...an article for the passport.....checked the options, checked the pic again and sadly the no love penny dropped :-(
Still waiting on ee uk to drop the latest bb10 os

I would think the fact you don't really have a keyboard 'app' on the Passport would give it away but I guess not.
It's the rare combo firster/muh BB10 troll.
First time for me :-)

Well a program is an app

With you there, EE is crap!
Stop waiting and whining off topic, just do the update yourself with Sachesi or an autolaoder.

Can we now fix the problem with languages that don't let you use the pkb ?
I actually like the KB extensions
Before this post, I never knew that the emojis were available from simply clicking a small icon
What about disabling the inconvenience button on the K1?
Go to settings, then scroll to convenience key. Now make sure it's not set to do anything.
If the button is pressed while on a call, it mutes.
On the home screen if the key is set to nothing, when pressed it brings up the menu to assign something to the key.
So yes its currently set to nothing but that's the issue.
Yeah, I've got that issue too. =(
Can you assign it to something not intrusive... something that actually doesn't do anything? Or almost anything?

That's would (not?) be convenient anymore... depending on your views, lol... :-)
• BlackBerry... aBBan10ment is happening, or is it? ;-D •

Love all these little updates, brilliant, but where is nougart for priv???? Or will we just go straight to oreo 😂
There won't be any Nougat. It had been written on UTB Blogs.
Posted via CB10 using my Q10!
Thought as much before they announced, but kinda ****** Dtek's won't get it either. I know they are not the most modern of phones out there but being less than 1 year old, not the presidents you want to set
I don't have Keyboard Extensions toggle in the advanced section. ATT K1
NVM, looks this comes with the new KB update
I like the keyboard extensions, but sometimes they get in the way. If I long press the 3 dots, it closes, but then starts to type in all caps!
BB9000>Q10>Z10>Z30>Z30>Classic>Dtek50>Dtek60
I have exactly the same issue... Hope a fix coming soon
I don't have a keyboard settings options under Language and Input.

Ahhh... thank you! I have found that it is more intrusive than productive for me personally!
Good tip and post!
Thanks, I disabled it.
If you disable it, can you still access the smileys somehow?
Not that I could find
I found how to disable it but I don't want to disable it, just wish it started up minimized and if I wanted to open it, long press the period button with the three dots : to open it
This is very useful tutorial, i would like to read more information about Blackberry such as updates, software, and hardware.
