Gboard is the keyboard that many users in Spain use on their Android phones. The Google keyboard is one of the most versatile that we find on the market, with a large number of functions that we can take advantage of. This keyboard also has support for voice dictation, so that we can write using our voice.
Something that surely many Gboard users have noticed that the keyboard usually block or censor words that are considered offensive, like insults. There are times when this is not a bother, but for some users it is a feature that only causes worse keyboard use.
How to disable the suggestion to use the new emojis in GboardIf you don’t want to use the new Emoji Kitchen feature in Gboard, which suggests new custom emojis, you can disable it by following these steps.
Turn off Gboard’s blocking of offensive words
This lock may be too strict for some users who they want to be able to write any word without worry, both when typing and using voice typing on the keyboard. Luckily, there is a way to disable said blocking of offensive words, to use whatever words you want when you are using this keyboard on your Android phone. The steps to unlock this feature are:
- Open Gboard on your mobile (the app or an app where you have to use the keyboard).
- Go to the settings.
- Enter Spell Check.
- Look for the option “Block offensive words.”
- Turn off the switch next to this option.
When we have done this, the Google keyboard will allow us write any type of word without any problem. Words that the keyboard classifies or considers offensive will not be blocked. This feature is present in all languages that the keyboard works in, so if you change the keyboard language, you may have to do it again.
This is a fairly simple setting, which for many Android users will allow better use of Gboard. If you think that this blocking of offensive words is something annoying or unnecessary, these steps will allow you to deactivate it on your mobile and thus not have to worry about this function anymore.
