Gboard beta reveals ‘flick to symbol’ gesture and other features (Update)

TL;DR

• The latest Gboard beta includes references to features such as “flick keys to enter symbols,” which could mimic the iPad’s quick symbol access method.
• The “Password number row” feature could allow for dynamically displaying the number key, restricting it to only during password entry to preserve space on compact devices.
• Google could also be upgrading the upcoming Writing Tools feature to let users generate text within the keyboard app itself.
