Blank space at bottom of Gboard

[dizzle16]

Ever since the T-Mobile Android 10 update, I've had this blank space at the bottom of my Gboard keyboard taking up space. Any idea how to get rid of it? Please help

Go to gestures in settings and toggle on hide bottom bar

Unfortunately that didn't work. And I don't use that gesture. I use this one

If you use gestures right and left do you see the option?

Do not blame OnePlus or even T-Mobile (USA) for the gap underneath the keyboard... It is all down to Google and is there by design...

"Google introduced gesture navigation in Android 9 Pie. Soon after, many smartphone manufacturers picked up on the idea and started implementing their own set of navigation gestures. This resulted in many forms of navigation gestures on many Android smartphones. Some of the most popular gesture navigation come from Oxygen OS 10 by OnePlus, OneUI 2.0/1.0 by Samsung, MIUI 11 by Xiaomi, and the stock ones from Google. This also resulted in some conflicts with third-party apps or firmware like the blank space we see under Samsung keyboard or OnePlus keyboard that is meant for the navigation bar."

It has been a constant source of debate by OnePlus users since Android 10 was rolled out to OnePlus, last October. Personally, I am now used to it and do not even notice it anymore.

With a bit of fiddling about, the space can be removed but be warned, it could cause the occasional weird display issue...
