The latest update to Gboard has brought back an important button that users had been missing. Previously, the beta version of Gboard caused some frustration among Android users due to changes in the Emoji and GIF picker interface. The alteration to wider rectangular buttons led to the elimination of the backspace button, much to the dismay of users. However, the newest version of Gboard being rolled out through the stable channel has remedied this issue by reintroducing the backspace button and resizing the buttons to a more user-friendly format.
The updated Gboard now features individual buttons for Emojis, GIFs, stickers, and AI-generated stickers for Pixel 9 series users. The return of the backspace button in its familiar location has been well-received by users, highlighting the importance of familiar and functional design elements. While some devices may experience alignment issues with the new UI, Google is continuously refining the Gboard experience to meet user preferences.
