Galaxy S24’s AI Camera Shift feature now available on these Samsung devices
Gboard has rolled out a font switcher feature in its latest beta version that lets users customize the font. It is a popular keyboard app for Android users and the fresh update makes it more reliable and user-friendly.
The font switcher feature of the Gboard app allows users to customize their typing experience. It can be found under the Settings menu, specifically in Preferences >> Appearance, where users will see a new Font menu.
The font switcher menu has two options – Gboard default and System default. The Gboard default option uses Google Sans Text, while the System default remains Roboto. Interestingly, even though the system-wide font on Pixel is Google Sans Text, the change only affects the keys you see in Gboard.
Currently, this font switcher is available in the latest beta version 14.7 of the Gboard app for Pixel and Samsung devices. However, it hasn’t yet been released in the stable version, so it may take days or weeks to reach all users. The beta version suggests that Google is still testing the feature before making it widely available.
This new feature is useful for those who want to personalize their keyboard experience. As Gboard continues to improve, this new feature could get even more customization options in future updates to enhance the overall experience for Android users.
