If you're not happy with this keyboard layout, you can easily switch back to your old one using the keyboard layout switcher (see Step 5). You can also completely remove the newly added keyboard layout by going to “Keyboard“ in the Settings, clicking the three-dots icon behind “English (US, intl., with dead keys)”, and clicking “Remove“.
