Google released the beta version of the Gboard keyboard application, code 14.9.06.x, targeting Android users. This version stands out with a new feature that will significantly improve users’ writing experience. The “Undo” button added to Gboard offers a functional solution, especially for users who make frequent mistakes or frequently edit text.
What does the Undo button on the Gboard keyboard do?
The Undo button basically allows the user to easily undo the last action he made. For example, when you accidentally paste content into a text box, you can quickly correct the error by clicking this button. This feature can be considered as the keyboard integration of the undo function, which has been available for years in software tools such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs and Apple Pages. Thus, users will waste less time writing or editing text.
This new button can be added as a shortcut to Gboard’s toolbar. In this way, users can quickly access the undo feature. The undo button is also expected to become a frequently used function, as the keyboard’s editable toolbar design offers the opportunity to customize different features.
On the other hand, Google has only included this feature in the beta version yet. The company usually includes such innovations in the stable version after the beta testing process. Considering previous updates, it is estimated that the Undo button will be available to all users within a few weeks.
Gboard is already known as a keyboard application that stands out with its user-friendly features. In addition to functions such as swipe typing, voice typing and autocorrection, it also includes fun options such as emoji and GIF search. The Undo button offers an important innovation for more productivity-oriented users.
Users who want to experience this feature in the beta version can join Gboard’s beta program via the Google Play Store. Beta programs allow new features to be tested in advance and shaped based on user feedback. This allows features to be integrated into the stable version in a more optimized way.
In addition, it is thought that the undo button will save time by preventing errors frequently encountered in text editing processes. Especially considering the difficulties of editing text on mobile devices, this innovation can greatly facilitate users’ work.
Gboard aims to make the keyboard experience more practical with the undo button. With the inclusion of this feature in the stable version, we can expect an increase in the number of users of Gboard.
