If you are one of those who, as soon as you open a mobile phone, downloads the Google Keyboard to feel comfortable, you are in luck. And it is that the Google writing application has just received an update with interesting news. Especially if you prefer to use your calligraphy when writing on the terminal screen The available languages have also been expanded and some menus have been visually retouched. We will discuss everything in detail below.
We are talking about the version 6.8 of the Google Keyboard, the application that allows us to compose messages in WhatsApp, write Gmail emails or type any internet address. As always, the update is released gradually, so it may still take several days to arrive in Spain through the Google Play Store. When it does, these are the new features it brings with it:
First of all we must talk about the manual or handwriting keyboard. In other words, a function with which you can write any word, phrase or text freehand, without having to type all the letters one by one. This is really convenient when using a stylus or stylus to write, even if not on most occasions. This decision by Google (to introduce a manual writing keyboard within its application), allows us to do without the manual writing application that it already had.A most interesting space saver for regular users.
Of course, to be able to write manually it is necessary to carry out a small configuration. It is enough to make a long press on the space bar (if we are already using the Google Keyboard) and then choose the language. Of course, looking at its availability as a handwriting keyboard Afterwards, instead of finding a whole keyboard, a blank space is shown to slide the finger or a stylus and write.
In addition to this, version 6.8 of Google Keyboard seems to include larger Emoji emoticons Although its style does not change, these small drawings would be somewhat larger by completing the space of the keyboard so that they can be found in a more simple and visual way.No more navigating among endless tiny faces in which their expression can barely be discerned. Of course, apparently these large emoticons are not appearing in the updates of all users.
Last, but certainly not least, there is a whole series of interesting little news. It now has a quick delete button to release the text field with a single press, deleting everything we've written. It also has autocomplete suggestions in URL fields. It has also added a whopping 20 new languages: Awadhi, Bambara, Bundeli, Emiliano-Romañol, Fula, Guilaki, Hiligainon, Kumaoni, Lambadi, Lombard, Madurese, Minangkabau, Mazandarani, Nahuatl, Neapolitan, Norwegian (Nynorsk), Jamaican Patois, Piedmontese, Sadri, Santali (Devanagari and Bengali), Sicilian, Sylheti, Venetian, and Zazaki.
