Google released a keyboard app for the iPhone some months back called Gboard, and everyone was wondering if it would come to Android. Well, now it has as the v6.0 update to Google Keyboard. It's not only a name change, though. There are a few important new features, including a search shortcut and true multi-language support.
The update is still rolling out, and Google has not yet posted an official changelog. Here's what we've spotted so far.
UPDATE: Some other new stuff we’re finding…
- You can permanently pin a number row.
- “Gesture” typing has been renamed to “Glide” typing.
- Pixel phones have 2 special themes with blue accents to match their UI, though that could have been there from day 1 and I just never noticed.
- Again, you can enabled the G button to always show, or allow for there to be a menu with additional options.
- Gboard should be able to “suggest” Search queries as you type, as well, though we have yet to get that to work.
