Features of Gboard App in Detail

Built in search

Gboard features a built-in search button, found just to the left of word predictions. Tap on it to open a search bar and enter your query. You can search for websites, businesses, contacts or weather. A series of cards are returned as a result, and with a tap you can automatically insert information into a text field. With Gboard you can look something up without ever leaving a conversation and send the information.

Search for predictive emojis

With the iOS keyboard you can pick emojis by switching to a dedicated keyboard, then back to the standard keyboard. For example, type “key” and the key emoji will show up as an option to auto populate in the text field. Conversely, you can tap on the smiley face next to the space bar and search through emojis instead of spending time scrolling through a list of emojis.

You can do Glide typing

There are other keyboard options for iOS users that allow you to swipe or glide a finger across the keyboard to spell out a word instead of tapping each key, but Google’s glide feature is spot on.

You can search GIFs

Suppose you wish to send an animated image, or GIF. Gboard offers the ability to search for the perfect GIF without having to switch keyboards or bounce between apps. Tap on the emoji icon, then select GIF. Commonly searched categories and GIFs are shown, with the additional benefit of searching for a GIF.
