How to clear your Gboard keyboard history on an iPhone or Android device

  • You can clear your Gboard history to reset your keyboard's dictionary on Android and Apple phones by accessing your device's settings or the Gboard app's settings, respectively.
  • Gboard, Google's digital keyboard, keeps a running dictionary of words you frequently use so that its autocorrect capabilities can serve you better.
  • Sometimes Gboard's keyboard history feature can work to your disadvantage, especially if the digital keyboard learns a spelling mistake.

    • One handy feature of Gboard, Google's virtual keyboard, is that it uses smart learning technology to establish and update a dictionary of words you regularly use. It's a helpful tool that cuts down on having to correct the smart keyboard's auto-correction feature constantly.

    The flip side is that sometimes the dictionary will overenthusiastically correct you. If you make a typo on the same word too many times or frequently type a particular word in all caps or with a few extra letters for emphasis, Gboard may start typing it that way all the time.

    The easy solution to this issue is clearing your Gboard history. Doing this will erase Google's entire memory of your saved application data, so if you have a long dictionary with a lot of colloquial terms or spellings, you may want to consider being vigilant in correcting your keyboard.

    If you do find you want to clear your Gboard history, here's how to do it.

    Throwback: Mobile camera tech was amazing even before iPhone and Android

    Credit: Ryan-Thomas Shaw / Android Authority There are few things we take more for granted than snapping a quick photograph with our phones. The rise of computational photography paired with multiple-lenses and the inherent convenience factor have made smartphones the default choice for most users. While it has been years since smartphones completely destroyed the point and shoot market, even high-end SLRs have been facing the heat. However, the camera phone heavy-hitters of today stand on the shoulders of giants. Sure, it might seem that we're seeing a rapid increase in the pace of photography-related innovations but you'd be surprised to know just how many of these have been attempted before, sometimes well over a decade ago. In fact, in many ways, we've come a full circle. Let's look at some of the defining moments in phone camera history and how they shaped modern camera phones.

Is it fixable? Where do I take it to get it repaired? What am I going to use in the meantime? Do I need a new phone? Can I afford any of this? The questions that a smashed handset inevitably raise aren't fun, and breaking a phone in the current situation around the world right now is almost unthinkable. We're relying on them more than ever, and the availability of repair services is at an all-time low as most shops and electronics stores globally remain shut. All that said, for many of us, it's a fact of life that our phones are going to need repairs at some point. Whether it be a simple drop shattering the display or a battery that will need to be replaced after a couple of years, the right phone can make remedying these issues simple enough that, with a little patience,...

    Google suspended a popular Android podcast app because it catalogs COVID-19 content

    Gambar
    © Podcast Addict Podcast Addict, an Android podcast app with millions of users, was suspended over the weekend because it lists COVID-19 content. The app's creator, Xavier Guillemane, tells The Verge that on Saturday, Google suspended and removed the ads from his nine-year-old app because it violated a new policy for developers that requires any app with a reference to COVID-19 to be "published, commissioned, or authorized by official government entities or public health organizations." Guillemane's app catalogs publicly available podcast RSS feeds, which he doesn't control. The content includes news shows, talk shows, and a variety of programming that mentions the pandemic and virus. He says Google told him he'd need to address this problem and then republish his app under a different name to be reinstated. Guillemane says other podcasting apps, including Google's own, list these shows, as well, although he doe...
