Gboard - Google 键‪盘‬ 12+

Love GBoard... Especially the swipe type feature. Oh and definitely the built in google possibilities makes this a very unique experience. I use the G board on my iphone 7+. After the update yesterday, I find that whenever I use smilies and press send (on WhatsApp for eg.) the keyboard reverts to the alphabet mode... Not sure if this is an intended feature or a bug. Would really like to stay in Smiley mode until a manual switch back.
Another thing that I noticed since a while ago... When I try to place the cursor at a certain spot to correct a word/add a word... It's a pain... Almost always the cursor does not fall on the spot I intend...can this be fixed?

Been having loads of glitches recently and I thought it was my phone but looks like I'm not the only one. Like many others mentioned, it's not responding well and correctly to what is being typed. Even when I get the words I want, and the spelling is correct, I will be autocorrected to a totally different word. And the keyboard used to be smarter in detecting that 'b' or 'n' was typed incorrectly in place of a space but now it doesn't. There are also times when I have a typo but it's not corrected automatically. Please fix it!!! I'm getting irritated enough to go back to the apple keyboard which also now enables us to swipe a word instead of tapping each word individually quite accurately. On the other hand, when I do the same on the gboard, which is why I downloaded it in the dust place, there are times when I am swipping one word but the line breaks up in the middle and gives me two words when I didn't swipe outside the keyboard at all.

Thanks you. (<-- This was typed on the gboard and I'm Erie (quite) sure 'the say' (that) I didn't swipe any further after 'k'.) Stay safe.

I am hooked on using Gboard. However, it will change some of my words after I got send on text messages. This means that some of my messages make no sense! (Notice how the word hit was replaced by got?) Names that are spelt differently are the worst! I think you have to fix it so that once a person sends the message the app shouldn't change any of the words. Once that is fixed it would be the best app for swiping!
