Hey guys,

I have a HiSense U989 Pro, which has a 5.5" screen.

When Whatsapp'ing, E-Mailing, SMS'ing etc, I use the stock standard keyboard GUI thingy that came with the phone. Android 6

Problem is, it's annoying when I press "y" instead of "u", or "t" instead of "r".

I have reasonably small fingers, but for some reason when I type I frequently press the wrong letter.

Lank annoying.

My Question:

Isn't there a add-on or whatever that increases the BUTTON size on screen? Or something that increases the letter size?

NOTE:

I want to press, not swipe when typing.

Portrait only. I hate typing in landscape mode.

Please if anyone can suggest something?

do you want to increase only certain letters? using something like swiftkey you can increase/decrease keyboard size...

Thank you, but I want to press letters when I type.

I don't like this drag your finger across screen to create word thing.

Or am I mistaken with Swiftkey?

Ke? Its a replacement keyboard that you can modify with various settings, size, haptic feedback etc. Not sure what sliding you're talking about.

I think he means the swiping motion you can make on some keyboards where you slide your fingers from letter to letter to make a word.

it's an option, not a must... you can still type like per normal... i sometimes type, i sometimes swipe... you can mix and match as you like.

And here I thought I was special,other people who I know either swipe or type.I do a mix of both depending on my mood,one device using Gboard and the other Swiftkey.

Considering the sub forum I was expecting this thread to be about views or something.
