Gboard

Gboard is Google's keyboard for Android devices that adjusts to how the user types. It has over 100 languages and different writing modes available

The Google keyboard for Android

The keyboard is the main way to enter information on the phone and interact with the apps. It is important that you feel comfortable with it and that it integrates as well as possible with the functions of the smartphone. Among the most efficient options is what Google offers.

The Google keyboard for Android

Gboard is the keyboard developed by the ubiquitous Internet company that tries to take into account the needs of users when communicating with their mobile device, while integrating perfectly with the various services offered, such as the search engine or the browser.

One of its strengths is the possibility of customizing the features to the user's preferences, allowing us to adapt the performance to the way we write. These are their most important features:

• Finger swipe tapping.
• speech dictation.
• Search and share directly any content you find on Google.
• Check the weather.
• Google instant translator.
• Multilingual typing in over 120 languages.
• Quickly find and select emoticons.
• Search for GIFs and share them directly.
• Easy copy and paste.
• Position the keyboard where it is most comfortable for you.
• Shrink the keyboard so you can type with one hand.
• Keep the number keys visible at all times.

You can also forget about creating a personalized dictionary because Google's algorithm learns with your use and adapts to your language and your usual expressions. You can even sync your personal dictionary across multiple devices.

How to remove Gboard

If you've tried it and aren't convinced, the easiest thing is to uninstall it. But if you want to keep it in the background just in case, just tap the button in the bottom right corner: it will show you the available keyboards and you can always revert to the default keyboard that came with your device.

Gboard vs Swiftkey?

Both options are very similar, but behind Gboard is Google. That said, if you really want to use Google's tools (direct search, translator, search content sharing, etc.), your personal choice should be pretty clear.
