- Google’s new design change for the Gboard app makes its keys much more rounded.
- The pill-shaped or circular keys have appeared for some users on the latest beta release.
- The beta release currently doesn’t offer an option for users to revert to the rectangular keys.
Google is testing a design change for the Gboard app that is not going over well with users. Over the last few hours, several disgruntled users have shared screenshots of the updated layout, which features much more rounded keys than before.
As per the images shared on Reddit and X, the design change doesn’t seem to be consistent across devices. In some cases, Gboard’s rectangular keys have been replaced with new pill-shaped keys, while for some users, the keys appear completely circular.
