Google creates iOS keyboard, included built in Google search

Google famously supports the iOS platform really well and ironically a lot of the apps are much better than the versions on Android. But now Google have released a keyboard app for the iPhone and iPad which allows you to search the internet, look for GIFs and grab quick weather reports too. It’s called Gboard and it can find anything online from your keyboard.

The Principal Enginner at Google, Rajan Patel said:

“Anything you’d search on Google, you can search with Gboard,”

Probably the best thing about the app for social media fans is the addition to search emoji. Currently when using the built in Apple keyboard it’s quite hard to find any emojis and the ones you actually want, with the Gboard, simply press the G button and then search for the one you want.

Gboard by Google is free on the App Store.
