Google introduces ‘Gboard’ keyboard for iPhone users in India

Google announced the launch of its ‘Gboard’ keyboard for iPhone users in India. The new app allows iPhone users to search and send information, GIFs, emojis and more, from their keyboard itself.

Gboard allows users to search for more than just Google search results. Instead of scrolling to find a particular emoji, one can simply search for it, example; “dancer” and find that emoji you were looking for. Users can search for GIFs as well. Gboard also brings in Glide Typing, which allows users to type words by sliding their finger from key to key instead of tapping.

Rajan Patel, Principal Engineer, Google said, “Searching and sending stuff from iPhone shouldn’t be that difficult with Gboard. Users can now search and send all kinds of things—restaurant info, flight times, news articles—right from keyboard. Anything users search on Google, you can search with Gboard. Results appear as cards with the key information front and center, such as the phone number, ratings and hours. With one tap, users can send it to their friends and keep the conversation going.”
