On Android devices, the GBoard keyboard and similar input methods intercept content before it reaches the editor. This affects plugins that rely on the autocompleter API or keypress events:

|Autocompleter (xref:emoticons.adoc[Emoticons], xref:charmap.adoc[Charmap], xref:mentions.adoc[Mentions])
|Limited or non-functional on Android. The autocompleter popup does not appear reliably because Android processes content prior to insertion.

|xref:content-behavior-options.adoc#text_patterns[Text Patterns]
|Limited functionality on Android. Inline patterns may not apply when the pattern is immediately followed by a space. The plugin relies on keypress events, which do not work as expected on Android.
