Samsung Galaxy 4 has several default common languages that do not include Māori or other language to create macrons.
To install Māori and other languages, the easiest method is to install an app from Google Store. Latvian is the only language currently available that will create and recognise macrons.

Kia ora! Crazy that we have to download the Latvian language (no offence Latvia) to be able to write i te reo Maori! Thankyou so much for this post. The only thing is it does not have the ” o” macronised. Suggestions? Would be much appreciated. Ngā mihi
apparently if you copy an ā from any website and then you can go to settings and install it onto your ‘my hot keys’ this way when you hold the key down, it will show. this is for a samsung.
I managed to type kо̄whai using this copy method. But instead saving to clipboard and locking it for future use. Heres a tidy о̄ for anyone else looking in future.

The o on my phone has the squiggle line over it all other vowels I can get.
It’s so frustrating that it’s 2023 and this issue is still not fixed. I even have the Māori keyboard on and still can’t seem to add a macron to the o
