Increasing size of keyboard

[larrydonline]

I just got this phone today. When I started using it the keyboard was large, but now when I bring it up it is very small. I didn't do anything that I know of to change it. Under settings it just says to grab the handles on the side of the keyboard to adjust its size. I can't find or see anything that looks or acts like handles. I really need it to be back to the big size as It's too small to use right now.

There are several keyboards on your phone. Go to Settings>Language & Input and use the one with the layout that works for you.

There's only one listed at that place Samsung keyboard.
However, I've noticed that the keyboard appears differently depending on the app I'm using when I type. When I log into Google it's really tiny. When I use a notepad app it's large. Is there a way to stop apps from taking control of the keyboard or to lock in one style only?

Go to Settings>Apps>Language & Input>GBoard.

Big keys and numbers. Not real big but usable for my digits.
