The new layout option that Gboard is testing will <\/span><span>split the keyboard<\/span><span> into two, pushing each half towards its respective edge on your device. It\u2019ll be easier and more comfortable to use, and help you type your search inquiries or text messages faster whenever you use larger displays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gboard won\u2019t be the first <\/span><span>software keyboard<\/span><span> to have this feature. There are plenty of other apps out there you can use to switch up the way your keyboard displays, whether it\u2019s to split it, move it to one side, or make it smaller. However, it\u2019s nice to see Gboard focus on and prioritize this feature, as apps don\u2019t always get properly optimized for tablets and such.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The split-keyboard feature was first spotted back in March, but we don\u2019t know when the feature will roll out, as Google has yet to officially release any details on it. However, once it does, you should be able to enable it from Gboard\u2019s three-dot menu on any device you want to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/gboard-split-keyboard-coming-soon\/\">XDA Developers<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
