          Gboard emoji bar is a copied feature from Bobble Keyboard which has this feature since 2016 and in much better shape. Try out Bobble Keyboard and you will forget Gboard because of its multiple convenient features, expressive content and language efficiency.

                  Let's just hope this useless feature could be permanently turned off... If not, good-bye, GBoard.

                    I know my mom is not brand minded. So i install gboard to her phone asus. When she changed phone from asus to samsung, she asked me to install that previous keyboard again (gboard) because samsung keyboard just not that uncomfortable.

                            Anonymous, 17 Jul 2020I prefer SwiftKey over GboardI used to pick swiftkey over Gboard for better predictions. But than I realized that the swipe gestures on Gboard (on space and delete keys) are very useful.. now I am on Gboard. Also Gboard have integration with bitmoji (a great app for emoji like on iPhone).

                              Just another "feature" that I may only use for a week then disable it forever. Lol. This will not bode well on splitscreen, I can guarantee it.

                                Well, it's been almost a day since I started using this feature (I am enrolled in Beta) and I'd say it ain't that necessary a feature, it's useful no doubt but only a certain situations.

                                        Why don't they focus on more important things like implementing a way to know your battery health straight into android like they have on ios now that's something I doubt anybody would complain they stole from Apple
