We already wrote about Gboard 6.1 Beta, which adds a few notable features including Google Translate integration and an improved theme picker. Since that post, we’ve received tips about more changes in the update, so let’s take a look at a few of them.
Before this update, tapping on the microphone button in Gboard would cause the keyboard itself to collapse and show a voice typing interface in its place. This animation is rather slow if you have a lower-end phone, and if you want to go back to the keyboard, you have to close the voice typing popup and wait for the keyboard to re-appear.
Gboard 6.1 includes revamped voice typing, GIF suggestions, and even Google Doodles was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
