      Yes, but you shouldn’t.

      After a reboot, a lot of phones can only use the device’s default keyboard app for entering the unlock pin/password.

      If you’ve removed or disabled it, you can get into a situation where you have no keyboard at all, and a delightful chicken-and-egg situation of needing a keyboard you don’t have until after unlocking the device to enter the code to unlock the device.

      (A USB keyboard will let you escape this, for what that’s worth)

        I removed (not really, it shows “Not installed for this user” in All apps list) GBoard using Canta and nothing is happening. I use Yandex Keyboard.
