Google is preparing to roll out rounded keys in Gboard.
Fortunately, it also added an option to use the older, rectangular keys.
The change is part of the upcoming Material Design 3 Expressive, which will be announced at Google I/O.

Google is preparing a Material Design 3 refresh known as “Expressive” and as we edge closer to release, we are starting to see early versions of the design leak in a bunch of apps. We’ve seen it used in the Android settings app, and more recently in Google account settings. Now, Google is preparing such a refresh for its keyboard app too.

Thanks to a source inside Google, Android Authority was able to explore a mature version of the in-development Gboard feature, and we’ve seen evidence of a design change that some users might not like.
