They state size does not matter, however plainly it does when some Google Pixel users are reporting that their virtual keyboards are unexpectedly diminishing. Over on the r/GooglePixle subredditas flagged by 9to5Googlea suite of Pixel phone users appeared to state that all of a sudden Gboard– Google’s main Android virtual keyboard– turns small and in a window kind, or that the keyboard itself is the correct size however the typeface on it is small regardless of being set up properly in the settings.

Either keyboard anomaly is going to be a discomfort, though the latter might not be as troublesome for individuals who can deftly touch type on virtual keyboards. Otherwise, small typefaces will render the Gboard really tough to utilize unless you take place to be talented with tiny vision.

“It took place to me a number of times currently. Turn your phone to landscape, wait till Gboard appears [then turn it] back to picture. That repaired it for me. Time was unusual, after that it’s simply frustrating,” discussed Reddit user DevilAlien.

Google Pixel Fold users do not seme to be unsusceptible to the concern either, with Redditor SergioSzm keeping in mind: “I likewise had this problem on my Fold and 1 hour later on it vanished by itself. Could not discover anything to get the typical size fond back And I didn’t do/change anything to.”

If the diminishing keyboard impacts you then I recommend that a basic reboot of your Pixel phone might be the remedy to the issue. If the issue continues, it might be a case of checking your Gboard is properly set up which you’re running the most recent variation of Android and the Pixel Launcher– to do the latter go to the Settingsscroll to About phone and after that Android variation to get the variation of Google’s mobile running system that your phone is running.

To look for an upgrade, go to the System choice in the Settings appthen tap System update/Software updates alternative to set off an upgrade if one is required,

And if all this has actually made you get fed up of even the best Android phonesthen take a look at why I like the iPhone 15 Pro Max to see if a swap to iOS might be for you.
