Google has just released an update for its stock keyboard application.

New features in the update include a one-handed mode, quicker access to the number pad and emoji, and improvements to gesture typing.

Additionally there is an option to make the keyboard taller for larger phones and set definite borders around each individual key, Engadget reports.

You can download the update right now (if it hasn’t already downloaded in the background).

Have you tried out the new updated keyboard? What did you think of it? Let us know in the comments section below or in our forums.
