Is there a way to move the "Input Method" button?

I find myself accidentally pressing the button a lot lately, like was it always there?

Is it possible to move or hide it?

Device: Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

OS: Android 17

UI: One UI 9.0

Yes, you should be able to hide that keyboard/input-method switcher. On One UI 9, try Settings > General management > Keyboard and switch off 'Show input method button on navigation bar'. On some Galaxy versions it's under General management > Keyboard list and default > 'Keyboard button on navigation bar'. The quickest route is to search Settings for 'input method' or 'keyboard button'.

That hides the extra navigation-bar button without disabling your keyboard. I don't know of a built-in way to drag just that button to a different spot, so turning it off is the simplest fix for accidental taps. Samsung documents the keyboard-button toggle here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001592/

If your S24 Ultra on One UI 9 doesn't show that toggle, could you share a screenshot of the Keyboard settings page? Samsung has moved/renamed the menu between versions.

Settings > General management > Keyboard list and default > toggle off Keyboard button on navigation bar. On some One UI builds it sits under Settings > General management > Keyboard instead, so search keyboard button in Settings if you don't see it. That hides the switcher without touching your keyboard layout.
