The Google Keyboard or Gboard for short is one of the best apps that Android fans can access. The reason why we are saying that is because Gboard offers speed and reliability that helps Android fans type much faster than usual. Not just that, but Gboard is equipped with lots of useful features such as Glide Typing, which as its name implies, allows users to type super-fast messages just by sliding from letter to letter.
The reason why Gboard is making headlines on our website today is because the Android parent has just released a major update for it. The new update is changing Gboard’s build number to 8.9.11.282392478 and it comes with major improvements and new features. Without any further ado, let’s go ahead and check out everything there is to know about the new update.
