- Google has added a new predictive back gesture animation for keyboards in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1.
- The new animation shows users that the back gesture will minimize the keyboard.
- It will only work in apps that have implemented the smooth keyboard opening animations.
Although Google has yet to release stable builds of Android 15, the company has already rolled out a beta build of the platform’s first quarterly update. Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 recently reached beta testers with a couple of interesting changes, including a new predictive back gesture animation for the keyboard.
For the unaware, the predictive back gesture feature utilizes built-in animations to show users a preview of the screen they will land on when using the back gesture. It currently does not have an animation for when the keyboard is open, but the unofficial Google News channel on Telegram reports that Google has added it in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1.
