Hi Salman. We will soon add a gesture to switch keyboard sizes on the fly.
In the meantime, you can use the half screen mode and temporarily enter full
screen mode where needed by switching to landscape, if that works for you. I
would also love to know from everyone using WhatsApp, if it is still
crashing like before, and if you have tried this on iOS 12. Hopefully the
lack of “Almost Full Screen” is not a big issue. If it remains an issue, I
might add a workaround toggle outside of the main size setting, to keep the
settings simpler and less confusing.

Kosta,

Personally, I do not use my phone in landscape mode. Ever. It is not
something I prefer, for anything, let alone for typing. I am quite
sure I'm not the only one.

I understand that you may add a gesture to switch keyboards on the
fly, but that doesn't solve the problem of having other apps crash in
"Full Screen" mode.
The "Almost Full Screen" was simply there to prevent those crashes, is
my understanding.
So for someone like me who prefers and likes the Full Screen mode
better, and doesn't prefer the Minimal/Half Screen, I am not sure what
the solution would be if apps crash and I am unable to use Flicktype
in them, other than forcing myself to use the Half Screen or Minimal
size.

So I would vote for the "Almost Full Screen" option to be made
available, even if it is outside of the main size setting, like you
said.
At least until we're a 100% sure that apps are no longer crashing in
full screen mode.

Thank you Salman and David. David, what you propose is what I was thinking,
but I'm still trying to figure out what would be best.

Another idea is to make the full screen mode be almost full screen, for all
users. It's not ideal, but crashing apps aren't either.

Salman, are you still experiencing crashes with WhatsApp and full screen
mode? Anyone else tried that recently, specially on iOS 12?

Thanks,
Kosta

Their you go, spoke too soon. The crashes are back Kosta. Just happened.
4:16pm and 4:17pm Eastern Time.
Different thread from the last time, so far anyway. And this one doesn’t
even have that many text messages in it. It’s actually a much shorter
thread.
, I think I will probably install the previous build, one that has the
almost full screen option available to me.

Not so far, but that said, I haven't used it in Full Screen a whole
lot, only began using it a few hours ago (once I installed the latest
build). Have used it sporadically uptil now as I've been busy with my
regular job.
Last time too the crashing of the app began happening after a few
times of using it.

But I agree with the idea of having the option outside of the main
size setting, so that it is available only for situations where it's
necessary.

Thank you for the reports, Salman. What iOS version are you using by the
way? I will be adding the almost full screen option in the next build. In
the meantime, build 165 is your best bet.
