Do you mean [the Settings icon](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00079092/) in the keyboard's toolbar? – qtmfld Sep 05 '20 at 02:57

This is not a solution but a workaround.
- Choose and install any other keyboard app, which has no feature such as settings.
- In the Settings app, add it to device's input methods and disable the others.
- Restrict the Settings app, with KNOX (
allowSettingsChanges).
If your KIOSK requires high-level security, you can develop your own input method to avoid malicious keylogger app. According to this answer, sample codes are available in AOSP repository.

In that case how can I make Google Chrome to use my own keyboard ? – Salut Amigo Sep 05 '20 at 23:06

All the apps including Google Chrome automatically use your own keyboard, if you select it as **Default keyboard** in the Settings app. [This article](https://www.androidcentral.com/how-change-terrible-keyboard-your-samsung-galaxy-phone) explains how to do it, and wrote "Your new keyboard choice will now be displayed every time a keyboard is needed in the system — the default keyboard will never appear." – qtmfld Sep 06 '20 at 08:08

Hmm, actually there is a way to do it even with native keyboard, but I do not understand how... however, thank you for your time my friend – Salut Amigo Sep 07 '20 at 12:40

According to the official docs This might help ?
Additional Device settings (Knox 3.4 and above devices only)
Language and input Select the Language and input checkbox to display additional keyboard utilization settings for Knox 3.4 and above supported devices.
Refer to the Show keyboard button On and Off options to display a keyboard button on the device navigation bar for an easier toggle between mobile device keyboard resources. Once set, refer to the Allow user to change setting option to either Allow device user keyboard changes, Do not allow user changes or Do not allow and hide setting from user.
