TL;DR

• The latest Gboard beta includes references to features such as “flick keys to enter symbols,” which could mimic the iPad’s quick symbol access method.
• The “Password number row” feature could allow for dynamically displaying the number key, restricting it to only during password entry to preserve space on compact devices.
• Google could also be upgrading the upcoming Writing Tools feature to let users generate text within the keyboard app itself.

Update: September 19, 2025 (3:00 PM ET): We have spotted the flick keys to enter symbols feature rolling out in version 16.0.2.804347959-beta-arm64-v8a.
