It's a pretty good and competent default keyboard, I especially like the handwriting recognition. Swipe typing is subpar though.

Comments and Reviews
I've been using swiftkey and swype on iOS for a while, but Gboard beats both of them hands down..
I was using Gboard, it is very good for google search integration but there is one fatal reason why i stopped using it : Keyboard Resize (Very Important for big finger like me)
It now has a keyboard resizing function.
Not privacy friendly.
It's a pretty good and competent default keyboard, I especially like the handwriting recognition. Swipe typing is subpar though.
whenever i checked how many cache it stores from text, it showed 15+Mb. what. if you don't mind surveillance (living ±safe), then it could be useful. if you're an activist or someone in danger, don't use it.
plus of this keyboard, however, is having some indigenous languages. adding 1 star for it.
Does not have swipe spacebar to change languages option
Owned by Google, so no privacy and untrustworthy
One of the most versatile keyboards.
