Samsung Galaxy users who use Gboard may soon expect a handy new feature. Google recently introduced a font switcher to its keyboard app for Android phones, including Galaxy devices. This update is currently limited to beta testers but may soon expand to more users globally. No other changes have been spotted.
Gboard adds the ability to switch fonts on the go
Google recently released a beta update for Gboard, adding a font switcher for users. The new feature appears in Gboard settings > Preferences > Appearance. A new “Font” menu offers two options: “Gboard default” and “System default.” The changes you make here will only affect the keys on the Gboard keyboard.
First spotted by 9To5Google, the new font switcher is available in version 14.7 of the Gboard beta app. This small enhancement provides an additional customization option, improving the overall Gboard experience. It is particularly useful for users who want more control over the visual appearance of their phone’s keyboard.
Currently, the font switcher is in the beta stage, and there is no official release date for the stable version. If you can’t wait for the feature to roll out to the stable version, you can join the beta program for early access. If you wish to install the Gboard beta, there are a few important things to keep in mind. Beta versions may contain bugs that could affect their performance. The app is in a testing phase and may occasionally crash due to its instability.
However, developers are actively working to minimize these issues and address any new issues reported by beta testers. For Galaxy users who prefer to wait, the stable update for Gboard with the font switcher function should be available in the coming weeks. The update will be rolled out globally. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
