Google Just Seriously Changed Texting

These days, a new keyboard app shows up in the App Store almost daily. But while they definitely offer fun ways to spice up texts, their capabilities have thus far remained limited: Emoji Xpress lets you add emojis, for example, and GIPHY Keys lets you add GIFs. That's about it.

But now, there's one keyboard to rule them all: Google's GBoard. The iOS-only keyboard, which launches later today in the App Store, lets you easily access GIFs, emojis, and Google's regular search feature.

Want to look up a restaurant while you're on Facebook? Now you can do it without switching apps — GBoard works in any app where you can type, not just texts.
