Gboard: How to Add a Picture as Wallpaper

If you send many messages, you will use a keyboard that you’re comfortable with. If you like to send emojis, you might add the emoji line on the keyboard for faster access. You could also move the keyboard to one side if that’s more comfortable for you. You can also type in different languages.

But staring at the same wallpaper for too long can be annoying. That’s when you want to add your personal touch to the keyboard by changing the wallpaper. You can add different colors, or you can add a picture. That way, you’ll always like what you see when using that keyboard.
