Have you ever been in a situation where you need to reply to a text message on your Android phone, but your hands are busy, or you only have one hand free?
Maybe you’re holding a coffee, a bag or a baby. Whatever the reason, typing with one hand can be a challenge.
However, don’t worry; there’s a simple solution that can make your life easier. It’s called Gboard, and it’s a keyboard app from Google that lets you adjust the size and position of your keyboard to fit your one-handed needs.
