How to Setup the LG G3 for Easier One-Handed Use

Sometimes a large screen can make things a little more difficult on a device. In particular, typing. LG, just like most manufacturers nowadays, has added a way to adjust the keyboard, dial pad, etc. to make it easier to type by sliding it over to one side. Here’s how you can set it up and what parts of the device’s UI it will affect.

1. Pull down the Notification Shade and tap the gear in the top right to get to Settings.

5. Open the keyboard (by opening any messaging, email, or any other app that requires you to type in it) and confirm that the keyboard is now compressed to one side (if you enabled LG Keyboard in the settings, of course).
