Google keyboard update error: unable to unlock phone, leading to user complaints

       Gboard is the Google keyboard app available on both Android and iOS platforms.

　　On December 19, according to foreign media reports, many Android users complained about the Google keyboard application Gboard on Twitter and the Android official website.

　　The report pointed out that there is a major error in Google's keyboard application Gboard, which causes the virtual keyboard QWERTY to crash. Due to this error, users cannot enter a password or PIN code on the lock screen to unlock the phone, which is actually no different from "bricking the phone."

　　According to reports, the error is caused by the update that Google rolled out for Gboard a few days ago. Since Gboard cannot be enabled, the phone cannot be unlocked. Of course, users can also bypass the screen lock and directly restore the factory settings to enter the device.

　　Foreign media reminds that it is recommended that users consider third-party applications to replace Google Gboard (such as SwiftKey) until Google fixes this error. Another solution is not to set a numeric or letter password, but to use a pattern to unlock the phone, so that there is no need to call Gboard to unlock.
