A game-changing Gboard Android discovery
I’ll admit it: I’ve spent far too much time tapping, swiping, and generally just ogling Gboard on Android. Hey, what can I say? We’ve gotten really close over the years.
It may seem like an unhealthy obsession to some (hi, honey!), but it really isn’t not quite as crazy as you’d think. After all, for us Android-adoring animals, Gboard is the gateway to gettin’ stuff done on our modern mobile devices — and as anyone who reads Android Intelligence regularly knows, it’s practically overflowing with out-of-sight time-savers.
7 Gboard settings that’ll supercharge your Android typing
If there’s one place where saved seconds can seriously add up, it’s in your smartphone’s on-screen keyboard.
This doesn’t get nearly enough attention among average tech-totin’ animals, but Android has an awesome advantage over that (cough, cough) other mobile platform when it comes to text input. All it takes is two minutes of trying to type text on an iDevice to see just how much of a good thing we’ve got goin’ (and to make yourself want to gouge your eyes out with the nearest overpriced Apple accessory).
And you know what? While we’ve got no shortage of commendable Android keyboard apps to choose from, Google’s own Gboard keyboard really is the perfect example of how simple, effective, and expandable the Android typing experience can be. Gboard works well right out of the virtual box, and once you start poking around in the mustiest corners of its settings, you’ll uncover some tucked-away treasures that can inject all sorts of seconds-saving sorcery into your Android input process.
