If you’re like most Android users, you probably use the Google keyboard to type on your phone. But if you have a tall device, you may find that the keyboard is too low to be comfortable. In this article, we’ll show you how to adjust the height of the Gboard on your Android device. To adjust the height of the Gboard:
- Open Gboard and tap on the three lines in the top left corner (see image below).
- On the “Layout” tab, tap on “Keyboard” (see image below).
- On the “Keyboard Settings” screen (see image below), tap on “Height” and then enter a new height in inches (or cm) (see image below). Tap on “OK” to save your changes. ..
Gboard is available for all Android phones and tablets. It comes pre-installed as the default keyboard on Google Pixel phones and a few other Android devices. You can install it from the Play Store and set it as the default keyboard if it’s not already.

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.
