First, enter a text box to bring up the Gboard keyboard. From there, press the gear icon to open the app’s Settings.

Next, go to “Preferences.”

In the “Layout” section, select “Keyboard Height.”

There are a bunch of different heights to choose from. It’s a good idea to start with one step up from where you’re currently at.

The change will be applied immediately. Go to a textbox again to bring up the keyboard. If it’s still feeling a little cramped, follow the steps above and make it a little taller. As you can see, the differences aren’t massive.

Adjusting the keyboard height is one of the easiest ways to improve your typing on a touchscreen. A cramped keyboard leads to a lot of errant presses and typos. Just giving Gboard a little more space on the screen can make a huge difference.
