Google like Microsoft is increasingly present in the rival ecosystem. The last type of app where it seems like they're focusing their efforts is keyboards. A few months ago, the guys from Mountain View released a new keyboard Gboard, which has become one of the best that we can currently find in the App Store, despite being one of the last to arrive. Microsoft for its part is working on a circular keyboard that will be located in one of the lower corners of the screen, so that we will be able to type on devices with large screens with one hand.
Gboard allows us to send GIFs, write by sliding our finger on the letters, in addition to searching for videos, images, weather forecast, news, sports results, nearby stores and restaurants ... all this without having to leave the application or make use of the Google app for iOS. Google's keyboard has just been updated to 3D Touch technology so now we can move the cursor over the text by pressing and sliding the finger to the desired place. New themes and emojis have also been added in addition to allowing you to share contacts without having to leave the application you are in.
What's new in Gboard version 1.2.0
- New Themes - Take a look at some of the awesome landscape themes we've added.
- 3D-Touch: now you can move the cursor by holding it down and sliding your finger anywhere on the keyboard.
- New emojis for iOS 10: The latest update to Gboard includes the new emojis for iOS 10.
- Find and Share Contacts - Have you ever been asked to share a phone number? With Gboard, you can easily find and share your contacts without leaving the conversation. To get started, open the app, tap "Search Settings" and turn on the "Contact Search" option.
For me this was the only thing missing from this great keyboard is amazing
I try it to see how it behaves and if I like it.
