Revolutionize Your Typing Experience with the New Gboard Beta Font Switcher

Gboard Gets a Font Switcher: Add a Touch of Personalization to Your Android Experience

When it comes to customizing our mobile devices to our liking, every little bit counts. Hence, the latest update to Gboard for Android brings a small yet significant addition – a font switcher! For those looking to add a personal touch to their Android experience, this update is a great step in the right direction.

New Font Options in Gboard Settings

To access the new font switcher, simply head to Settings > Preferences > Appearance, where you’ll find the "Font" menu. You’ll see two options: "Gboard default" (which is actually Google Sans Text, a clean, minimalist font) and "System default" (which, for Pixel devices, is still Roboto).

A Small but Welcoming Change

The font switcher is a great addition for those who want more control over the look and feel of their device. This tweak only applies to the keys within Gboard, giving you more flexibility in how you experience text input.

The Beta Release

The font switcher is currently live in the latest beta version (14.7) of Gboard, available on both Pixel and Samsung devices. However, it’s not yet available in the stable release (which is on the same version).

The Bottom Line

Whether you’re a fan of Google’s aesthetic or prefer a different font, the added font switcher in Gboard is a thoughtful touch that shows the keyboard app is continuously evolving to meet user demands.
