Gmail Bug Hits Pixel Replies, Replacing Keyboard With Gemini on Pixel 10 Phones

Summary
Pixel users replying in Gmail are seeing Gemini’s “Help me write” panel instead of the keyboard, adding extra taps on a Pixel 10 Pro XL and effectively blocking typing on a Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
Tests on a vivo X300 FE, OnePlus 15 and iOS did not reproduce the issue, pointing to a problem that appears limited to Pixel devices rather than Gmail across all platforms.
Google has not identified the cause, and the fault could sit in Gmail, Gemini, Gboard or Pixel software; the behavior resembles a keyboard-detection failure that prioritizes the AI reply interface.
The glitch highlights how tightly integrated AI tools can disrupt basic app functions when input handling breaks, turning a simple email reply into a multi-step workaround.
