I like this Gboard had a few bugs a week ago. I think it's working once again. Don't know what happened? Was acting crazy. 😵‍💫But seems it's back to normal. Never experienced anything how this was acting. Flipping in and out, going into commercials very strange. Thought maybe a viruse but it wasn't ran many checks. Thanks for your help post. I was able to get it back to normal. 😥 Whew! 🥵 Phone wasnt in operation condition because of the Gboard WOW! 🤨 Again your help & information works.

The autocorrect has gotten significantly worse recently. It replaces words in sentences trying to to use context to fix it. (Just had to change it during this review from "on sentences" to "in sentences" which is what I typed.) It is now slower to type with autocorrect than without because you have to fight with it. Sometimes you have to correct it's errors more than once on the same word.
