Android expert Mishaal Rahman (via Android Headlines) received a tip about the feature going live on Gboard and shared a video demonstrating how it works. The video shows how users can easily write in text fields, delete or insert text, and even join words using different gestures.
This addition arrives as Android 14 introduces native stylus support to the OS. So, if your tablet isn’t running the latest version, you won’t be able to experience handwriting recognition. Google is still rolling out handwriting support in Gboard, so it may not immediately appear on all devices. However, it’s a welcome addition that makes text entry on tablets and foldable smartphones even more versatile.
