Google addresses Gboard lag issues in latest update

Google completely redesigned its keyboard application for Android devices and renamed it to Gboard back in December. One month later, Google announced that the application has hit 500 million downloads in the Google Play store.

However, since the application was released in the Google Play, many users complained about lag issues. Although the interface is smooth and very intuitive, many Android fans using Gboard keyboard have experienced lags at times.

It seems as though whenever I have any app that requires typing open and then lock the phone that once I open the phone again the keyboard lags behind. The problem will persist until I return to the home screen and then open the app back up (Reddit user Kemphis_)

Fast forward one month and Google releases an update for the Gboard, which is suppose to address these lag issues that some users complained of since the app's release.

The official changelog of Gboard hasn't bee updated in the Google Play, but some of those who've experienced these problems claim they have been addressed.
