Gboard update1

Google had released Gboard for iPhone and iPad in May following which it was launched in India in June. Now, the keyboard that lets you search and send information, GIFs and more is getting a couple of features in latest update.

First up, Gboard is getting support for five new languages – French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal) and Spanish (Spain). It is already available in English across the U.S., Europe, Canada and Australia. Gboard will default to your device language, so as long as it’s set to one of these six languages. If your phone uses a different language, Gboard will default to U.S. English. You can change the language from settings.

You can already search for GIFs on Gboard and now the keyboard will offer GIF suggestions as well. Next up, the update brings a dark keyboard so that Gboard can blend in with darker apps. You can also select a personal image from your camera roll to show behind your keyboard. The latest Gboard update bumps the app to version 1.1.0.
