OnePlus: Enable the Keyboard Number Row

If every digit forces a switch to the symbol keyboard, typing passwords or addresses on a OnePlus phone slows down fast. Gboard can add a dedicated number row along the top edge, but it takes up extra vertical space and some users prefer to turn it off again. Whether that row is active or hidden depends on a single Gboard preference.

Enable or Disable the Keyboard Number Row auf OnePlus

The number row is a Gboard feature, not a OnePlus system setting, so it only appears if Gboard is the active keyboard on the device.

When enabled, a fixed line with the digits 0 to 9 sits above the regular letter keys. Typing numbers no longer requires switching to the symbols layout, which speeds up things like PINs, order numbers, or verification codes.

The tradeoff is screen space. The keyboard grows taller, leaving less room for the app content above it, which matters more on smaller displays or in split-screen mode.

To change the setting, go to Open the SettingsTap on SystemTap on Languages & inputTap on Virtual keyboardTap on GboardTap on PreferencesEnable or disable Number row.

If digits still do not appear after enabling it, check whether a different keyboard app is set as default instead of Gboard. Switching keyboards resets this preference, since it is stored per keyboard app, not system-wide.

Frequently asked questions

This preference only exists inside Gboard. If another keyboard app is active on the OnePlus phone, open that app's own settings instead, or switch the default keyboard back to Gboard first.
