Google is busy redesigning its official keyboard app Gboard. One of the major visual changes is a revamped toolbar, allowing customisation with more than four options, and the voice search button can finally be removed.
A new Privacy menu is also present in the settings of the app. The update with the new features and redesign is part of version 12.6.06.491625702, according to Android Police.
The keyboard app is available for both Android and iOS devices. It is one of the most popular keyboard apps on both platforms. Gboard offers a range of features including built-in Google search, GIF search, and a range of customization options.

Google Search Integration: One of the standout features of Gboard is its integration with Google search. With Gboard, you can search Google without leaving your keyboard.
