[APK Download] Google Keyboard 3.1.19633 Update Lays Groundwork For Spoken Emoji, Moves Voice Input Button, Adds 5 Languages

A new version of the official Google Keyboard is rolling out at the moment, but you can pick up the APK right here if you can’t wait. Today’s Google Keyboard update adds a few things, but it’s not a huge update.

Spoken emoji are now a thing, too, though we haven’t found many hotwords supported yet. “Smiley face,” “sad face,” and “tongue face,” which create ASCII emoji for 🙂 🙁 and 😛 respectively, are the only ones I’ve managed to activate, and these may not actually be new. What we know is new, though, is the massive list of strings added to the keyboard app for spoken emoji – hundreds of them. None of them worked for me when I attempted to try them out, though, so they’re likely coming in a future update.

One odd tweak has been the removal of the long-press delay setting under advanced settings – the option seems to have simply vanished. Finally, you can also now toggle sending usage statistics to Google.

If there’s anything else we’re missing, be sure to let us know.
