While we have hundreds of options for the keyboard apps for Android, it was the Gboard that’s most preferred and offers better features. Unlike other keyboard apps for Android, Gboard isn’t bloated with unnecessary features; it is lightweight, looks clean, and has features that users need.
If you are already using Gboard on your Android, you might know about the clipboard feature. Gboard has a full-fledged clipboard manager that lets you view all items you have copied before. We recently found another hidden Gboard feature that enables you to add screenshots to the clipboard.
With this feature enabled, whenever you capture a screenshot on your device, it will be copied automatically to the Gboard’s clipboard. Once copied to the clipboard, you access the clipboard manager of Gboard to paste the screenshot directly on supported apps and websites.
