Gboard settings

Had a patron with a new Android phone, was a bit stumped on how to get to the settings to customize the virtual keyboard.
Gboard is turned off on the Android launcher by default, so you have to get it by tapping on the  ">" button  (left of the top bar), then clicking on the "gear icon" get to settings

1. Access Gboard’s keyboard settings. Launch the Gboard app and tap "Keyboard Settings". A list of keyboard settings will appear. 
   
   
2. Toggle Glide Typing. Glide typing is a feature that allows you to type words by sliding your finger from key to key without lifting it away from the keyboard. This feature is unique to google keyboard and will not appear in the iOS settings.
   

   • The toggle will turn blue when it is on, gray color indicates that it is off.
   • 
     
      
     
3. Toggle Emoji Suggestions. This feature recommends emojis in along with word suggestions as you type (e.g. typing the word ‘happy’ will suggest a smiley face in place of the word). 
4. Toggle Auto-correction. This feature automatically changes misspelled words as you type. Keep an eye on names and places when this feature is turned on - they may not be recognized by the auto-correct dictionary and changed to something you don’t want.
5. Toggle Auto-capitalization. This will automatically capitalize words at the beginning of sentences as well as recognized proper nouns like names.
