I tapped on the header in the image 3 times before I realized. Just like yesterday when my s.o. showed me her phone and asked something about a post - from fb I think.
Her:"What does this mean?" Me: taps link Her: "it's a picture" Me: * Me: taps link Her: "it's a picture" Me: * Me: ...oh
Sadly, I think it took me 3 times then as well, even with the helpful commentary
Yup, been using Google keyboard pretty reliably for 8 years or so, but still need to use popup options and proofread and make corrections. I find the voice "typing" faster and more accurate now, but don't want to speak to my phone when people are around.
