Gboard’s Pixel 6 grammar checker now spreading to other Google phones
Google was able to incorporatemachine-modeled grammar checksonto Gboard in the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, but it would’ve been silly not to spread it across more devices. Fast forward to today and we’re seeing more Pixels correctingtheytheir users' sentence structuring.
One Gboard user onReddithad dictated a sentence through Gboard on their Pixel 5 and found the app had underlined in blue a grammar mistake they made (left image). They dug into the app’s settings and found a new toggle for the grammar check feature (center image). We were able to confirm the same feature’s presence on the Pixel 5a and 3a (right image) running Gboard beta 11.4.08 (viaAPK Mirror). The9to5Googleteam found it on their assortment of Pixel 5 and 4a devices.
We have a hunch Google will officially announce the Gboard grammar checker as part of March’sPixel Feature Drop— unlike how it sounds, some of them tend to drip in over several days or a couple weeks. But that’s neither here nor there.
Noted security research Jane Manchun Wong was able to tease out the feature more than a year ago, though the underlying code might have been around for more long. I mean longer.
