Gboard can now copy and paste screenshots from the clipboard

Gboard is one of the best Android keyboards. The app is constantly evolving and acquiring new features. So, for example, last year the ability to copy and paste images from the clipboard was added to Gboard, and now this functionality has been expanded with screenshots.

A user with the nickname Armando noticed that the keyboard began to offer to activate a new feature that automatically adds the user’s screenshot to the clipboard. Then the screenshot can be pasted into the chat window of any messenger, and it only takes a couple of clicks.

You can enable or disable the new feature in the Gboard settings in the “Clipboard” section. In some applications, a special button is displayed with a proposal to paste the copied screenshot – by analogy with the copied text or link.

Apparently, the new feature is available in the beta version of the Gboard app 10.5.04.367007960-beta, although there is no guarantee that all users, without exception, will be able to access it now. Most likely, Google is still testing changes with a limited number of users, but this usually does not take long. As such, it is to be hoped that clipboard screenshots will become more widespread soon.
