One more trick

Another hidden trick in your Android phone helps you to type one-handed.

Maybe you're clinging on to the strap on a bus or train, or perhaps you're holding a cup of coffee.

Whatever the reason, Google has built a special trick into the Android operating system to help you out.

The feature was added in the Android 12 update, so you'll need to make sure you're using that or later.

First, open an app where you need to type, and then get the keyboard up on screen.

Now tap the ellipsis icon (three dots) above the keyboard.

Next choose the One-Handed option, which will shrink the keyboard and squash it to one side of the screen.

You can switch to the other side by using the left or right arrow.

This should make it significantly easier to type with one hand.
