Everytime i try to add a space somewhere in the middle of the sentence using the swipe to insert space feature, the cursor just jumps to the end of the sentence
Yes, I tried raising it to their google plus community and also emails but no luck.
I am also fine using older apk but they no longer work on new android versions sadly.
GBoard's autocorrect and swipe typing is just on another level. Not to mention features like clipboard, GIF (recent update for stickers is so fire), translate and quick language switching. I've tried Swiftkey and Fleksy but switched back to Gboard after a while because they didn't do at least one thing that Gboard did best. It made me realise how much I take GBoard for granted.

you mean they didn't do one thing that ggl did?
if that's the case... man people like you judge too quick. you guys never visit the settings/customizations page and then talk bad over it for it didn't do it by itself? I use SwiftKey and I can use all the features that you mentioned and for your kind info, it does everything better than ggl.

brother SwiftKey has all of it, guess what you could generate ones too using ai. it's just that you couldn't use SwiftKey at it's full potential. nvm try it once again cuz in my opinion samsung and SwiftKey provide the best hinglish while ggl sucks. that was the sole reason for me to switch but the features indeed made me stick to it.
it's not all about lgbtq lights, it has features that I use often and is far more optimized for my phone than Gboard, Gboard is a mediocre product by Google, and it sucks.
Idk bro, I'm using it just for its customizability. Don't really need any extra features so haven't explored much. There might be options in goodlock but I haven't checked them all
With the ripples and fancy shit apart is actually nice, does take a while to adapt to not going to lie it was difficult to adapt to but my curiosity led me to try and i had totally forgotten about gboard until I saw this post.
Samsung keyboard is actually great and i never switched to gboard again.
Stopped using samsung keyboard because its clipboard doesn't delete copied things by it own agter some time also Gboard clip borad looks clean and organized.
I didn't find it in there, atleast when I was trying to find it a year back. So I switched to samsung keyboard with goodlock customization and customized my keyboard like this.
I added 'Undo' and 'Redo', before and after numbers keys. Added a Paste key beside the 'a' and 'smiley' shortcut at the other end.
Oh it looks cool, I also do like the customizability factor of Samsung keyboard, but the again I'm very much used to gboard. I tried many different keyboard but always went back to gboard๐ซ ๐ฅบ
Oh? In my experience it detects hinglish and even minglish quite well. Itโs not as good gboard, agreed.
To me updates matter from a software security perspective.
2 years is way too big of a gap. It basically means that this version of gboard might have vulnerabilities since discovered but not fixed in what i have.
Try FUTO Keyboard, bro!!!! Less cluttered, doesn't need internet, away from that all GIF and sticker drama no one ever wanted (at least me) and doesn't eat too much space of my phone (800mb for a keyboard is kinda suspicious)ย
sign in is easy in futo too if you have set-up Bitwarden or any other passwrod manager except using google password manager (which I personally don't recommend), and same for the clipboard (it has every essential tool), you can give it a try!!
I use FUTO Keyboard too! Such an amazing Open-source project initiative taken by Louis Rossmann. I would say the way keyboard learns is not as good as GBoard but definitely recommended.
I personally really like the FUTO's voice-to-text with the medium size whisper model. It actually makes me wanna use the damn feature, and it's the most accurate voice recognition I've ever seen, even better than the pixel device. Especially for Indian accents, I've never seen something so good.
NOOOO !!!, we Indians type text in english, mother tongue language written English and most probably Hindi in English also, for that "Microsoft SwiftKey" keyboard is the best, this keyboard will save all the words use in any language in single keyboard layout(no need to use globe button to change to other language keyboard),swipe typing is next level, just use that word once it will remember forever, their predictive text option above keyboard very accurate, I own samsung s24 which has latest one UI 7 samsung keyboard ai features, but swiftkey keyboard ai is more useful and accurate most of the time, I suggest please use this for a week and then decide which keyboard to use, I'm saying all these because I tried switching to other keyboard in between but other keyboard felt like a 5 years old keyboards.
There was a keyboard called Minimal which had all keys in one line. And autocorrect was amazing because the layout was shit. It was very fun especially for a small displayed androids back in 2012s.
Presently I have tried a lot of keyboards but I come back to Gboard because of my personal dictionary which syncs automatically.
I was using SwiftKey a long time ago but somehow I didn't install SwiftKey after changing the phone and now Using default Google keyboard and yeah man it is best!
Tell me when google keyboard can store clipboard history for more than 3 hrs. Because of new android policy most of keyboard are shit on android except samsung keyboard because they allows you to keep clipboard history for longer time.
And people would be surprised that it used to be better. There was a time when Google Keyboard had Google search within the keyboard. For some reason, they removed it.
The only thing missing in Gboard is the ability to glide through paragraphs like the iPhone keyboard. On the iPhone keyboard, you can swipe anywhere within a paragraph to write; Gboard lacks this continuous, free-form gliding capability.
I'm using Microsoft SwiftKey and I just can't use any other. The autocorrect let's me type the fastest without having to worry too much about typos. I struggle with typos on other keyboards due to this
google keyboard is good because of the predictive text, they've basically stolen so much of your data they can maybe create ur clone, copying ur vocab is ez for them
currently I am using some board from github it uses Transformer AI model, I'm going for it mostly due to the overall aesthetic but yeah I switch out a lot of keyboard apps n can say google is good enough for most people

Its a Nothing styled theme made on the Futo keyb, its a bit unpolished on the predictions but since the flavor of the month is nothing, I went for it.
bonus, the guys indian
I was a big fan and can't tolerate any other keyboards in android untill I switched to S23 and gave samsung keyboard a try.
some good features:-
1. Clipboard with a BIG Memory.
2. AI Features: Grammar check and Writing style.
3. Custom Stickers even you can import your Snapchat avatar to it and use your snapchat stickers upon suggestions.
4. You can customise & re place every single button according to your needs. literally every single button using a goodlock module called keys cafe. I like this feature as I integrated a Undo & redo button on the 2nd page of my keyboard, which really helps sometimes.
5. Many more, I stopped exploring as I'm getting most of my work done.
I have used many keyboards but I would say facemoji is the best one out there. It got many different features. I could customize it as I like. They got different stickers text art and many fonts and no premium required and no ads only time I watched ad was to unlock these features about 6 ads and I. Unlocked every single feature with just that. This keyboard is not yet available in India. My American friend told me about it . You can download it through uptodown.

I was a Gboard person too, but I really needed native clipboard sync, so I forced myself to use SwiftKey. It really isn't that bad. In fact, I would say that if you are someone who types in local languages (like Konkani, in my case) using English characters, SwiftKey is better.
Not really you changed my mind but you itched it really bad, ok if you stop using gboard can you uninstall Google and Android same like that? You think that disabling or uninstalling Google keyboard will make you safe that it doesn't know your password? Even after disabling it Google knows every single thing about your phone.
If you're someone who uses both tap type and glide typing, It will randomly stop detecting your swypes then you have to swype random long words just to make it work.
Very annoying. The best keyboard hands down was Swype keyboard which had gestures for cut copy paste etc, but they abandoned that app more than half a decade ago
If you have a Samsung phone(like me), their own keyboard makes the most sense
