GBoard Lost Clipboard?

[Fifth313ment]

I have three devices with GBoard installed: A Samsung Note 3, S8+ and another S8+. A few weeks ago they added the clipboard manager to GBoard (beta), which I thought was pretty cool, although my Samsung's already had one. On these three phones I have two accounts my fiance's on one of the s8+ devices and my own on the other s8+ and the note 3. My devices still have the clipboard manager, hers no longer does. The icon is just gone and it's not the overflow. Just to be safe I cleared the storage for the GBoard and started fresh but now the clipboard manager was gone still. So I'm guessing it's a server side switch as she had it and now it is gone, lol. Anyone else experience anything similar? Google giveth and taketh away. Thanks in advance.

Hey anyone? Wow no one has any information?

Same here, I uninstalled Gboard and reset the apps Google Play Store, Google, Google Play Services, Maps.

Afterwards it was no longer possible to access the clipboard feature again, although I am back on the beta version.

Yeah, what sucks is that I disabled the Samsung clipboard so she could use the GBoard one, basically so she didn't get confused and they remove it? WTF?! It would be better if Google's implementation did pictures but so far it was working well. And why did they turn it on only to turn off a bunch of users right afterwards. I'm so tired of being dogfood for Google. Crap at least let us do something cool to make up for your crappy testing and coding. Arg!

They seemingly test out Gboard with and without the clipboard feature. I cannot blame them for this, hopefully they keep it in at release.

Yeah it's missing in the latest beta for me, as well as latest release.

Gone here too... I'm really disappointed with Google. Gboard's clipboard manager was the best solution I've ever seen, without those crappy persistent notifications like other apps.

Now they went and disabled it on my account too. So my fiance and I both had it on that recent beta and then they took it away seemingly for everyone, wtf?! I was actively using it. My main gripes were to allow for a settings option to enable or disable the clipboard for those who have one on their phone already. Also for swipe typing to allowing going to the space bar to continue words as almost every other swiping keyboard does. That way you can type a while sentence and never have lifted your finger once. And I'm so tired of devs putting nothing or the last update in the changelog section. They should be forced to out something in so we know what we are getting!

What the hell is this Google doing with gboard.
I was very excited about the clipboard feature but Google has disabled it in the latest beta update..
Soo angry ???

Ok, new info. Google has reenacted the clipboard but made clips only lasting one hour and then they see automatically deleted. You can lock them so they don't get deleted though. Also you can disable the clipboard which is great as I was asking for that feature. So the Samsung clipboard is still the best for Samsung users as it also does pictures and doesn't delete anything automatically. I do think the hour delete feature blows and should be an option you can change to anytime you want (hour, 24 hours, week, never, etc). The clipboard was enabled on my phone and my fiance's phone about a week ago.

Edit: OMFG, Google did it again and removed it from both of our accounts again! Man they are stupid and pay men less than women but they tried to makeup some story why it wasn't true. You were able to find the clipboard icon in the overflow menu within the keyboard and now it's gone. Also the first time you viewed it, it would ask if you wanted to enable it.
