Remove keyboard and dictation icons in iOS 11.x text entry When I open any text field so that the keyboard appears, there is a line under the keyboard with only two icons, the "world" icon that lets you change keyboards, and the "dictation" icon, which I will never use.

These take up a considerable amount of vertical space. Is there any way to turn these off?

UPDATE:



As you can see, there is a large blank portion below the keyboard. The world and microphone icon normally appear here, but even with them turned off you get all this space being wasted.
That gap is present on the iPhone X keyboard and at this time cannot be changed. You're not the only one who finds this irritating, so Apple might release a change in a future version of iOS, but for now you're unfortunately stuck with the gap.
