Learn to Search and Share Emojis and GIFs in Gboard

Gboard (previously known as Google Keyboard) is one of the best Android keyboards of the moment and since it comes preinstalled on many handsets sold today, even those not made by Google, it is the most used as well.

Speaking of that, I cannot leave aside the highly anticipated emoji search. All you have to do is to simply tap on the emoji button and a search field will appear right away, giving you the chance to search terms to find the right emoji. Even more, don’t forget that the keyboard also has a GIF search, which will drop an animated image right into your chat window.

So, one of the app’s most popular features is the ability to share GIFs straight into the text box of certain apps, as well as search for emoji when you just need to quickly find the perfect character, but not everyone knows how to do it.
