What's New
The latest Gboard update delivers substantial utility by introducing a full 2D cursor trackpad mode that finally addresses the long-standing limitation of horizontal-only space bar swiping. Combined with the rollout of on-device generative AI for tone-shifting and customizable font sizes, these updates provide a more accessible, precise, and professional typing experience for modern smartphone users.
Full Cursor Trackpad Mode
Transforms the entire keyboard into a sensitive trackpad via a long-press on the space bar, allowing for precise multi-directional cursor movement (up, down, left, right) to simplify editing on large or foldable screens.
Adjustable Keyboard Font Size
Introduces a dedicated setting to scale the font size of keyboard labels and characters independently of system settings, significantly improving legibility and comfort for users with different visual requirements.
On-Device AI Writing Tools
Utilizes generative AI to offer one-tap proofreading, grammar fixes, and tone transformations (such as formal or concise), allowing users to refine their communication style privately without data leaving the device.
Scan Text to Input
Integrates camera functionality directly into the keyboard to scan physical text from documents, labels, or signs and insert it instantly into any text field, eliminating manual transcription.
Flick Keys for Quick Symbols
Enables faster symbol entry by allowing users to touch a key and swipe downward to select secondary characters, bringing a high-efficiency tablet-style typing experience to mobile devices.
Redesigned Emoji Kitchen & Browse
Features a new 'Browse' UI for discovering over 40,000 unique emoji mashup stickers, making it easier to personalize conversations with creative and expressive visuals.
