iPhone: enlarge keyboard - how it works

Sometimes the keyboard on the iPhone is just too small or the fingers are too big. But there are ways to enlarge the keyboard of the iPhone.

Here's how to enlarge the keyboard on iPhone

The keyboard of the iPhone is very small for typing longer texts. However, the keys can be enlarged by holding the iPhone across or by switching off the umlauts and thus giving the keys more space.

• The easiest way is to hold the iPhone sideways, making the buttons a little bigger. Unfortunately, this does not work in every app. If the screen cannot be rotated at all, you can check whether the alignment lock is activated.
• In order to enlarge the keyboard of the iPhone, it is also advisable to hide the umlauts on the keyboard. The following steps explain how to do it.
• Open an app that shows the keyboard.
• Press and hold the world icon until the settings open.
• Choose "Keyboard Settings"> "Keyboards"> "Add Keyboard"> "Germany" and choose the "QWERTY" keyboard.
• Then tap on the world symbol until the QWERTY keyboard is activated. The umlauts should then disappear.

You can also use an alternative keyboard like the popular SwiftKey. In the next post, we'll show you how to activate alternative keyboards on iPhone.
