Google seems to be working on a split keyboard layout for the Gboard keyboard app. The feature improves the typing experience on foldable phones and tablets. The ‘Split layout to include duplicate keys' feature was spotted on the latest beta version of the Gboard app (version 11.5.05.427194903). The feature hasn't rolled out just yet, but the company will offer some duplicate keys in the split layout so that users don't have to stretch their thumbs every time.
While Samsung Keyboard has had this feature since the launch of the original Galaxy Fold, the company's autocorrect, swipe typing, and word suggestions aren't as good as Gboard's. So, the arrival of the Gboard's split keyboard layout will be a boon for a lot of Galaxy Z Fold series smartphone users. It will also help tablets in Samsung's Galaxy Tab lineup and non-Samsung devices.
Which keyboard app do you use on your Galaxy Z Fold or Galaxy Tab series? Let us know in the comments section below.
