Realme: Adjust the Gboard Keyboard Height

If the Gboard keyboard suddenly feels cramped or oversized after turning on the extra number row, typing accuracy drops fast. Keys sit closer together and thumb typing gets error-prone on smaller screens. Adjusting the keyboard height fixes the layout without turning that number row back off.

Change Keyboard Height auf Realme

The Gboard keyboard on Realme phones scales to a default height that works for most screen sizes. Turning on an extra row, like the numeric keypad line, pushes the existing keys into less space. Typing gets less accurate because key targets shrink.

Realme UI lets you resize the keyboard independently of that extra row. This keeps the numeric line active while giving every key more room, or less, depending on your hand size and screen.

Menu path to change the keyboard height

Open Tap on SettingsTap on Additional settingsTap on Keyboard & input methodTap on GboardTap on PreferencesTap on Keyboard heightSet the Keyboard height.

A preview updates live as you move the slider, so you can check how many rows fit comfortably before saving. If typing still feels off after resizing, check whether a separate number row or one-handed mode is active, since both change how much space each key gets regardless of the height setting.

Frequently asked questions

The number row adds an extra line above the letters, so Gboard shrinks the other keys to fit the same keyboard height. Increasing the height under Tap on Keyboard height restores more room per key.
