And the solutions

Delete data

The first solution stops by erasing the data from the keyboard and forcing its stop. For this we go to the Settings / Applications and storage menu. Then we click on the three points in the upper right and click on “reset preferences” Within the same menu click on “Show System applications”. Now we look for Google Keyboard and then click on “Storage”. Once inside click on delete data and force stop. Now we restart our Motorola and the problem should have disappeared.

Check that it is activated

It is also possible that the keyboard has been deactivated due to its conflict with the occasional application. In that case we will just have to activate it again. For this we go to Settings / Language and text input / Virtual keyboard / Keyboard Manager and activate Gboard .

Download by voice

Sometimes it may be necessary to reinstall the app. However, if the keyboard is not available due to an error, we can use our voice to find it in Google Play and proceed to reinstall the application . Simply enter the application store and click on the microphone to find any app by voice. Then we just have to uninstall and install the app.
