No one asked for this: Google is testing round keys in Gboard


A lot of Gboard beta users are suddenly remembering they joined the beta.

Google has quietly released an update that changes the shape and position of the keys, and users are not pleased. Barring a change in course, this alteration will eventually make its way to the stable version of the app. Anyone who is particularly stubborn or allergic to circles can disable automatic Gboard updates and just never install new versions.
