After widely rolling out the “Font size” setting last week, the latest Gboard for Android update lets you hide the period and comma keys.
Under Gboard Settings > Preferences, you’ll find new toggles for “Comma key” and “Period key: Show on keyboard for applicable languages.” They are enabled by default and this has been the layout for years.
If turned off, Gboard’s bottom row will just be ‘?123’ and the enter key for a cleaner look. It makes for a very wide space bar.
You can always double-press the space bar for a period, but removing the comma is a curious move. That said, you could disable that, but keep the Emoji key (which has been an option for some time now) for a more symmetrical design with the period.
We’re seeing this widely rolled out on the beta and stable channels with Gboard 16.0+.
