Gboard offers the ability to search for the flawless GIF without having to switch keyboards or bounce between apps. Once you have found what you were searching, you can easily copy and paste the results into the chat. If you’re an iOS user, Gboard is worth a look.

The Gboard also contains buttons on the bottom of the screen to let users switch off between text, image and GIF search results.
Information appears in a card-style layout and can be pasted as hyperlinked text, allowing users to pull up listings in Google Maps, phone a business or perform web searches.
On Thursday, Google released it and delivered those promises with a few features that you can’t find on your standard iPhone keyboard. Meet Gboard, a keyboard app from Google that lets you search for GIFs within a text message, swipe to text, and so much more.
This is an app that has a lot of intersting use cases, but sadly for now it will only be available on the iOS platform for iPhones.
We learned that Google was building such a tool earlier this year, and now the release comes less than a week before the search giant’s developer conference, Google I/O. Gboard has been created to work in any app such as Maps, Translate, and more. Anything you’d search on Google, you can search with Gboard.
So if you haven’t already noodled around with trying an alternate keyboard on your iPhone-or even if you already have-give Google’s a shot. To type, you can slide from key to key. According to eMarketer, each user will spend more time on the app rather use the browser. The keyboard appears to be created to make it easier to access Google on iOS, exposing the company’s search engine through one of the most frequently used elements of a smartphone.
Gboard is Google’s new app for iPhone.
A couple of months after a rumor claimed that Google was working on a keyboard for iOS, that rumor has become reality.

Gboard is now available on the iTunes App store. Instead, for instance, you can search for “poop” to get the poop emoji. If they choose to, they’ll first launch an app for Android then iOS.
