2 Simple Ways to Enlarge Your Samsung Galaxy Phone Keyboard

ByJim Miller

Typing on a small keyboard can be frustrating, especially if you have larger hands. Fortunately, if you're using a Samsung Galaxy phone, there are a couple of ways to make the keyboard larger and more comfortable to use. In this article, we'll guide you through two different methods to enlarge your Samsung keyboard. Let's get started!

Method 1: Increase Keyboard Size From Settings

Samsung Keyboard offers various customization options that allow you to tweak different elements of the keyboard. Follow these steps to increase the keyboard size from the settings:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Samsung phone and go to General Management.
  2. Tap on Samsung Keyboard settings. Scroll down to the Style and layout section and select Size and transparency.
  3. Drag the blue handle upwards to increase the height of the keyboard. You can also adjust the width of the keyboard if desired.
  4. Finally, tap Done to save the changes.

You can also increase the font size of the keyboard for better visibility. Go back to the Samsung Keyboard settings page, select Font size under Style and layout, and adjust the slider to increase the font size.

Method 2: Increase Keyboard with Good Lock Module

If you're still not satisfied with the size of your keyboard after using the first method, you can utilize Samsung's Good Lock module called “Keys Cafe” to further enlarge it. Good Lock is an official app from Samsung that offers various modules for customizing different elements of One UI. Here's how you can use the Keys Cafe module:

  1. Download and install the Good Lock app from the Samsung Galaxy Store.
  2. Open the Good Lock app on your phone, go to the Family tab, and tap on the download icon next to the Keys Cafe module.
  3. This will redirect you to the Galaxy Store app. Tap Install and then Open once the installation is complete.
  4. In the Keys Cafe app, select Make your own keyboard and toggle on the switch at the top.
  5. Choose Simple Keyboard and tap on the Edit button to make changes.
  6. Here, you'll find various tools to edit your Samsung keyboard. Long press any key on the keyboard preview and select All to choose all keys.
  7. Use the Width and Height tool at the top to increase the size of the keys.
  8. When you're done, tap the right checkmark at the top, enter a suitable name for your customized keyboard layout, and click Save.

Your custom keyboard layout will be applied instantly, and you can see the difference by opening the keyboard. You can also use the Keys Cafe module to adjust the size of specific keys, such as the space bar.

To switch back to the original keyboard size, simply disable the Keys Cafe module by toggling off the Make your own keyboard option in the Keys Cafe app.

Conclusion

With these two methods, you can easily make your Samsung Galaxy phone keyboard larger and more comfortable to use. Whether you prefer a slight increase in size or want to customize every aspect of your keyboard, these methods have got you covered. Enjoy a better typing experience on your Samsung phone!
