iPhone 7/Plus One handed left hand keyboard for the iPhone?

[powerslave65]

So I’ve got the new iPhone 13 Pro and I like it but the only thing that I still can’t stand coming from the 11 pro is the iPhone’s keyboard layout is not customizable so the go button can be on the left or the general keyboard experience is more left hand friendly. It really is strange how easy it would be to set something up that would be so much nicer for left-handers but alas Apple seems completely uninterested. So is there a third-party keyboard that specifically allows for one-handed left-handed set up on any phone regardless of the size? Thx!

I'm not sure if there is a third party but there is an option to align or shift your keyboard to the left for easier one-handed typing. I use it now with my 13PM, which is my first plus or max sized phone. It's pain in the ass to type without shifting the keyboard leftward.

Thx for the info,but both of those options are only on the pro max.

Hi! Have you tried keyboards, that are not native to iphone e.g. gboard or swiftkey? They may have the options you're looking for

On my regular Pro I can hold the emoji icon when typing and go to Keyboard Settings and turn on the one handed keyboard (left or right). You can go to Settings > General > Keyboard and do the same.

The native keyboard one hand modeworks on my 13pro. Otherwise try SwiftKey.

Yeah that's weird. Can you reboot or reinstall the software? Otherwise get SwiftKey.

This may sound odd but try going to that menu by long pressing on the Emoji icon when typing something. When I first went in to the keyboard settings using the Settings app it didn't appear but when I went in via the emoji icon it showed up.

Yeah thanks but nothing. My only guess is maybe the new iOS did away with it and a restore from older phones instead of setting up as a new phone could have carried it over somehow to some with new phones? Maybe even even some who went from max to regular size and restored from that some how ended up with the feature. Who knows! But have it I do not.

K I figured it out! If you have your display set to zoomed Instead of standard the option is not available.

Hi, I am on the 13Pro and was also miffed when I couldn't find one handed KB use. Then I realized it might be Display Zoom related. Bam! You can only invoke left/right keyboard function in Standard View not Zoomed. WTF. Only thing left to do: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/
