There is a new privacy setting that lets you delete the cloud data or choose to go out of Google’s statistics when you need. Also, you can access the complete list of emoji by pushing the alt key and this will be a great inclusion if you prefer typing on physical keyboards.

When it comes to the features that Google has removed from the Google Keyboard app, there is no support to swipe entire phrases by sliding your finger down to the space bar. Another feature is that you will not be able to select auto-correction aggressiveness that is replaced by a single toggle that will enable it.

Also, you will not see the split keyboard for tablets that was announced even in Android M. You can update the Google Keyboard 4.1 by heading on to the Play Store.
