Why do iPhone 6 Plus keyboards look different on my app?

It may seem a bit of a simple or unusual question, but I've noticed that there are two different sizes of keyboard in iPhone 6 Plus.

My app, built with Xcode, has a keyboard which is massive on an iPhone 6 Plus and small when running other apps.

The one above is from other iPhone apps on the 6+, and the one below from my app.

Is there anyway to select which keyboard to use?

It has to do with the fact that the app is a ScaleUp app (the app is scaled to the larger iPhones)

The actual problem here is that your app is running in scaled-up mode. What you need to do is provide a specific launch image so that the OS knows that your app works correctly without scaling on bigger screens like the the 6 and 6 Plus.

There are numerous questions about this on stack overflow. Who can add a link to a great answer to my posting?

The quicktype keyboard is on any iOS 8 device. It can be disabled by turning off auto correction as shown here

Additionally your app will be scaled up on larger phones if you do not provide the correct launch image
