Google has released a special patch that changes the appearance of the proprietary Gboard keyboard on Android. The updated design is now available for users of the beta version v15.1.05.726012951-beta-arm64-v8a.
Mixed Reactions from Users
Judging by discussions on various forums, the update hasn’t been well received by everyone. Some users feel that the round keys negatively impact Gboard’s appearance, while others complain that the arrangement of characters has changed. Despite these concerns, it’s still possible to revert to the old keyboard layout, notes NIX Solutions. To do so, users need to go to Gboard settings and select the “Themes” section.
How to Revert to the Previous Version
For those using the beta version, reverting to the stable version requires uninstalling the test build and installing the latest official release. We’ll keep you updated on any further changes to Gboard’s design.
