Has your Google Pixel keyboard just shrunk suddenly? You’re not alone

Google Pixel 8 review front straight.

They say size doesn't matter, but clearly it does when some Google Pixel users are reporting that their virtual keyboards are suddenly shrinking. Over on the r/GooglePixle subreddit, as flagged by 9to5Google, a suite of Pixel phone users popped up to say that suddenly Gboard – Google’s official Android virtual keyboard – turns tiny and in a window form, or that the keyboard itself is the proper size but the font on it is tiny despite being configured correctly in the settings. 

Either keyboard mutation is going to be a pain, though the latter may not be as problematic for people who can deftly touch type on virtual keyboards. Otherwise, tiny fonts will render the Gboard very difficult to use unless you happen to be gifted with microscopic vision.
