App "Keyboard" Covers the Text Box

4.5

When you type, the keyboard pops up and hides the very thing you are typing into.

Symptoms
  • Cannot see what I'm typing
  • UI doesn't shift up
  • Blind typing
Possible Causes
  • App layout bug
  • Third-party keyboard height
  • System UI glitch

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Change Keyboard Height

In Gboard or SwiftKey settings, reduce the keyboard size.

2

Use "Floating" Mode

Move the keyboard to a different part of the screen.

3

Update the App

This is usually a failure of the app to "resize" its window when the keyboard appears.

When to See a Technician

This is a common "coding oversight" where the developer didn't account for large keyboards on small screens.
