Google Gboard Rolling Out Keyboard Font Size Adjustment Feature

As you know, previous updates were mainly focused on the pill-shaped tweak for the suggestion strip. This time, they focused on design aspects. Specifically, the Fonts Size Setting section. This feature will allow users to adjust the size of the keyboard texts independently from Android’s overall display and text preferences.

How to know if you are eligible for this update?

  1. A banner will pop up saying “Keyboard font size updated“. Click on it.
  2. The settings option will be opened. Now click on Preferences.
  3. From there, under Appearance, you will find Font Size. Click on it.

The average size increment range is from 85% to 200%, with the “Match System” as the default option. All these changes will affect only letters, numbers and tool icons on the keyboard. Not the emoji sizes.

Compared to the previous system-wide update, this update is noticeable, and the user gets more freedom and choice over keyboard readability. This update is seen in Gboard beta (v15.9), and it is currently not available for everyone, even in the beta channel.

This update allows users to personalise their Gboard experience beyond the existing system settings, especially for visual comfort and accessibility. (No Apple users harmed.)
