Google’s Gboard keyboard is getting smarter. What changed?

Android users’ favorite keyboard just got smarter. Now the developers have focused on the search function. The app will parse the text you enter and suggest related information from the web.

Preparations for the innovation became known back in mid-July. However, the function was unstable, in addition, users did not understand the essence of what was happening. Now the situation has changed, according to Android Police .

Gboard update from Google

The new search feature is coming to more devices. In addition, Google representatives talk about it in the keyboard menu.

The meaning of the update is simple. As you type, Gboard will analyze your text and suggest relevant search results. The Google icon in the upper left corner will notify you of finding information. If the app is ready to offer some relevant data, it will turn into an emoticon, a GIF animation icon, a magnifying glass, or something else.

The content will match the request. For example, this is how Gboard reacts to the word “dog” by suggesting appropriate emojis, stickers, or GIFs.

But happy birthday greetings – the necessary stickers are right there.

Google search was available before, but now we’ll know right away when there are matching results. As a result, communication will be more colorful and fun.

The timing of the distribution of the update is unknown. You can update Gboard in the app store here .

Recall that at the end of August, the developers updated the program to version 7.5. Improved the clipboard and search, and added a floating keyboard mode.
