◉ Search for emoji

On the Apple keyboard, while typing, some emojis appear that denote some words but do not work in some applications, such as the note application. The Google keyboard does the same thing, but everywhere, whether the notes app or others, you can even search for the emoji that you want by name, then choose what you want and then complete writing in the message writing box.

◉ Switch between languages ​​quickly

Switching between languages ​​remains the same as Apple's way. By switching or by long pressing the gear button in the bottom left of the keyboard. Note that when selecting three languages, the settings option will disappear unless you use the one-handed keyboard setting.

By long pressing on the space, you will be taken to the dictation window, and once you stop, the message will be automatically moved to the place of writing the message directly.

◉ Use Google search

If you want to send a link to someone, you can do so through the Google search feature integrated with the keyboard. Click on the Google G icon at the top of the keyboard and search the Internet for whatever you want. If you want to open the site in a special page, click on the arrow at the bottom of the search status. You can also search on YouTube and share videos, as well as search Google Maps, share your location, or search for another site and share it.

◉ Capital letters and punctuation marks

The Google keyboard is easy to use in almost everything. You can press and hold the switch between upper and lower case letters for the English language, for example, and drag to the letter you want, as well as for punctuation marks, you can long press and drag to the mark you want and you will return to your default location again.

◉ Create keyboard shortcuts

There is no special setting in the Google keyboard for this feature, but it uses the shortcuts in the iOS system through Settings - General - Keyboard - Replace text and the shortcuts will be displayed as suggested words.

◉ Clear search history

Since you are using Google search from the keyboard, you will definitely have temporary files. To remove these files, go to Google keyboard settings - Search settings - Clear Gboard search history - then click OK. The temporary files for the keyboard will be deleted only, not Google accounts.

We hope that the Google keyboard will add the features on Android devices from adding fractions and deleting by scrolling and other things that the iOS panel lacks from the Android version of it.
