One of those features is called Writing Tools, which we spotted two months prior in an APK teardown. While we knew it would be available for Gboard on the Pixel 10, it was unclear how long we’d have to wait for it to trickle down to older Pixel phones. It appears the wait won’t be all that long.If you don’t know about Writing Tools, it’s a writing assistance feature coming to Gboard. It allows the user to check their text and fix writing errors. But it’s more than just a proofreading tool. It can also rewrite what you typed in a specific style, whether you want to sound more professional, friendly, and so on. You can even use voice commands to rewrite or rephrase the text. Functionally, it works a lot like “Help me write” in the Gmail app.
