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

I love that I can customize the keyboard to truly make it mine! it allows me to type less and go faster. I am 52 years old and have Rheumatoid Arthritis, these are two very important things to me! You can use glide or tap. You can get a theme background. You can change languages quickly with one button depending on your selections. But everything is made clear before you select it. Best and most flexible keyboard ever. Maybe you like it on way now but later you need to change it ... Gboard

This is a great keyboard/app but after the last update my Gboard keeps freezing, often in the middle of typing a text. That said, it has frozen in other places so I don't think it's a messages issue but a Gboard issue. I have already uninstalled any recently installed apps and it hasn't made a difference. I also uninstalled and reinstalled. Please fix, freezing in the middle of texts is actually a real issue if there was an emergency situation.
