I've been using Gboard since I got my iPhone 7 Plus. I remember there being somewhere to enable the one handed keyboard. Not able to find it. Was it removed?

You can still glide/swipe on it which is essentially one handed typically, is that what you are referring to? Or are you talking about something that makes the keyboard smaller and off to one side of the screen? If so, I don't think Gboard ever had that, but some other keyboards do, like I think the one from Microsoft.

Gboard had an option to make the keyboard smaller. Guess they did take it away

I think I may be thinking of the Android version. Gboard is all I've used. Thanks
Ah, perhaps the Android version then, as that might potentially have some different/additional options. In iOS out of the more prominent 3rd party keyboards I believe Microsoft's World Flow one has "arc mode" for one handed typing.

Think I did see that. May try it out. Thanks!

[doublepost=1516618050][/doublepost]You have to ensure you have the Google app downloaded. Then go to app... Click on your gmail profile pic in top left.... It will take you to settings.. Select gboard. One handed operation can be switched on there.
