When Google released Gboard for iOS earlier this year, scorned Android users were promised (http://www.greenbot.com/article/3069939/android/google-to-bring-gboard-features-to-android.html) that the search-centric keyboard would be making its way to Android phones soon enough. Some six months later, Google is making good on its promise, and it’s every bit as good (http://www.macworld.com/article/3088880/ios/the-best-third-party-keyboards-for-iphone-and-ipad.html) as it is on the iPhone.
Coming in the form of an update to the existing Google Keyboard, the new version brings a slew of features that iPhone users have already been enjoying, most notably a Google search bar built right into the top row. Just tap the tiny arrow to the left of the predictive text field and you’ll see a series of new options. Expand the magnifying glass and you’ll be able to search Google via a tiny browser to easily send links, pics, and, most importantly, GIFs to your friends. You can also change the theme, adjust settings, turn on one-handed mode, and enable dictation from the same options bar.
