However, users often complain that Gboard uses too much data. Why is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons which lead to excessive usage of data is the features of Gboard being turned on in the background. Some of the features that use most of the data are GIF Key and Predictive Search. This can be avoided by turning them off or Uninstalling Gboard and then reinstalling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn more on how to&nbsp; stop Gboard from using too much data, and why it is still better than other keyboards.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#what-is-gboard-used-for\">What is Gboard used for?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-stop-gboard-from-using-data\">How do I stop Gboard from using data?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#why-does-gboard-store-so-much-data\">Why does Gboard store so much data?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#why-do-keyboard-apps-collect-data\">Why do keyboard apps collect data?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#why-does-gboard-need-full-access\">Why does Gboard need full access?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#why-allow-gboard-to-record-audio\">Why allow Gboard to record audio?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-to-clear-gboard-data\">How to clear Gboard data<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#why-did-gboard-remove-the-search\">Why did Gboard remove the search?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#is-gboard-better-than-swiftkey\">Is Gboard better than Swiftkey?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#is-gboard-better-than-samsung-keyboard\">Is Gboard better than Samsung Keyboard?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-delete-the-google-keyboard-history\">How do I delete the Google keyboard history?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-uninstall-gboard\">How do I uninstall GBoard?<\/a>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-gboard-used-for\">What is Gboard used for?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Gboard is basically a virtual keyboard developed by Google for smartphones.

This data is saved into the cloud storage of these apps so that every time you start typing, the predictive entry feature or swipe interpretation feature can save you some time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-does-gboard-need-full-access\">Why does Gboard need full access?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Gboard needs full access to your information because it wants to help you and save your time whenever you are using the keyboard app. For instance, google requests permission to access your SMS texts in order to provide you with improved suggestions for your specific writing style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic idea behind collecting user data is to provide personalized search results based on their interest to improve the overall Android experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-allow-gboard-to-record-audio\">Why allow Gboard to record audio?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Unlike other keyboard apps, Gboard has an in-built speech-to-text function that works really well. If you are one of those who like this feature or perhaps in some cases, simply feel too lazy to type, this feature is a perfect fit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you intend to use this speech-to-text function, you must allow access to the microphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing worth mentioning here is that allowing Gboard to record audio is completely optional and if you don&rsquo;t intend to use the speech-to-text function, you can easily turn it off.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-clear-gboard-data\">How to clear Gboard data<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>To clear the data in Gboard, you need to follow these steps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Open your Phone&rsquo;s settings and find the Apps option.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"313\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_6.png 313w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_6-140x300.png 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"313\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_6.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2145 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_6.png.webp 313w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_6-140x300.png.webp 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_6.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\"><li>Scroll down to find the Gboard app from the list and tap on it.<\/li><li>Once you are in Gboard settings, open the storage section<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"314\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_5.png 314w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_5-141x300.png 141w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"314\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_5.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2146 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_5.png.webp 314w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_5-141x300.png.webp 141w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_5.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\"><li>Tap &ldquo;Clear data&rdquo; and&nbsp; then &ldquo;yes&rdquo; when the system asks for confirmation.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"312\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_7.png 312w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_7-140x300.png 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"312\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_7.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2147 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_7.png.webp 312w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_7-140x300.png.webp 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot_7.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-did-gboard-remove-the-search\">Why did Gboard remove the search?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Gboard had an in-built search feature that let the users search for anything on Google without the need for visiting Google.com. In April 2020, however, Google removed the search option for users in the new update, which was then considered as an accident because the feature affected both Gboard&rsquo;s stable and beta channels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The G button was removed from the older versions of the app as well, however, which seems to show it was a deliberate move from Google &ndash; the latter didn&rsquo;t make any public comments.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-gboard-better-than-swiftkey\">Is Gboard better than Swiftkey?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Gboard is faster and better than Swiftkey due to its ability to learn users&rsquo; habits more quickly. Gboard also offers you features, e.g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>direct access to Google search from the keyboard<\/li><li>GIF and Emojis search option in the keyboard<\/li><li>Predictive text, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Swiftkey has:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A more extensive gallery<\/li><li>Copy &amp; paste to clipboard feature<\/li><li>Better customization.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Swiftkey also has specific problems such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Convoluted settings menu<\/li><li>Slow typing<\/li><li>Does not support outside sticker packs like Gboard.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, users generally consider Gboard a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
