it used to be perfect but something has changed. A bug that is getting on my nerves lately is the one by which you want to, for example, send a Whatsapp, then you open the emoji tab, lookup for an emoji typing something in the search bar, select the emoji, click on the WhatsApp send button and nothing happens. then you close gboard, click on send again and it works 🤌 the exact same thing is happening when writing this review if instead of clicking on sending I tried to change the valuation

Keyboard is okay. Pros: customizable dictionary. Cons: swipe typing is awful and has essentially zero predictive power. It struggles to detect words like "you" or "I'm" whose letters are all physically close by on the keyboard. It works better if the letters in the word are physically far apart. Samsung and Swifkey's swipes are MUCH better. I'd also love to be able to customize the layout of the symbols. That is an option in other keyboards.

After the most recent update with Android 16, the Gboard Emoji menu moved the backspace button over the actual emojis in the lower right corner. It happens to be the exact place where a right handed person would place their thumb to begin a scroll down action. Instead of scrolling, it now begins deleting your message. There couldn't be a worse placement for the backspace button. The keyboard is no longer usable until this is fixed or an option is added to remove/relocate it.
