How to resize Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard

Your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard defaults to a medium size setting.

Should you want a change, you can access your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard resizing options in the following ways.

1. From Toolbar
2. From the Typing menu

1 - From your Toolbar

• Tap the three dots ...
• Tap the 'Resize' option
• Drag the boundary boxes to resize and reposition your SwiftKey Keyboard. If you make a mistake simply tap the 'Reset' button.

If you've selected 'Thumb' mode, drag the middle boundary box horizontally to adjust the size of each keyboard half. 

For users whose devices hide the chin/navbar, the resizing tool will also allow you to reposition your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard so it sits higher on your screen.

Alternatively:      

• Tap the three dots ...
• Tap the 'Modes' option
• Choose your desired keyboard mode before tapping 'Resize'
• Drag the boundary boxes to resize and reposition your SwiftKey Keyboard.

2 - From the Typing Menu

You can also resize your keyboard from within Microsoft SwiftKey settings in the following way:

• Open the Microsoft SwiftKey app
• Tap 'Layout & keys'
• Tap the 'Resize' option

Troubleshooting
 

If your keyboard doesn't scale correctly to your screen size please uninstall the Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard (no need to clear your cache/data too) and download Microsoft SwiftKey again. This should correct any resizing problems.

Note: The fresh install will delete your Microsoft SwiftKey Stats, including Photo themes and saved clips on the clipboard.

At this time we don't offer an option to resize your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard on iOS.

If you're using an iPhone 6 (and above), it is however possible to take advantage of the 'Display Zoom' feature to make everything on your screen appear larger.

To do this:

1. Access your device 'Settings'
2. Open the 'Display & Brightness' menu
3. Under the 'Display Zoom' header - tap 'View'.
4. Switch between 'Standard' and 'Zoomed' views. Use the image preview function to observe the effect each setting has. Remember to press 'Set' when you've made your choice.
5. Your device may restart depending on the changes.

Please note: landscape mode is disabled on larger Plus devices when 'Zoomed' mode is active.
