Table of contents:
According to The Verge, the latest update to the Google keyboard, Gboard, includes news to attract more users to this app in its Android version(iOS users will have to wait a bit). The main one of these novelties is the support for new exclusive emojis and the possibility of downloading stickers.
Integration with Bitmojis
Bitmojis are nothing new. They were born a few years ago, and they allowed us to create personalized emojis with our profile, and then share it on networks.Now, the GBoard includes an integration with these bitmojis, so we can download them directly from the keyboard itself (also from the Play Store if you prefer). From now on, we can use them in any app if we are using the Google keyboard.
Stickers
The other novelty that has been added to the Google keyboard are the stickers. A type of communication that has become very popular with Telegram, will now be available on any network that we interact with. The keyboard will offer us the possibility of downloading sticker packs of different themes Some will be free, while others (an immense catalogue, in fact) will be paid .
To find them, all we have to do is dial the button between the emojis and the GIFs, an icon that looks like a post it .There will appear what the Google keyboard calls stickers. Regardless of the ones you download, you will have a search engine, as in the case of emojis, to be able to make the search faster.
In many cases, the word to find it will be an English word, since most of those stickers are not translated. Therefore, by typing simple words like "hello", "yes", "no" or "thanks", you will be able to access all the stickers that have to do with those themes. Besides, Google's own keyboard already divides the stickers into the most recent, the most popular, and by content.
Since Google is not succeeding in attracting users to its messaging app, Google Allo, it intends to do its bit in the sector by improving its keyboard. In fact, it seems that Google's plan is to transfer some of the features of this messaging service, such as bitmoji or stickers, directly to your keyboard. Will Google Assistant compatibility be next?
