Google's Gboard keyboard marries typing and searching

12 May, 2016
The power of Google Search is now accessible without leaving iMessage. Bad news, though - iOS only.

Umm, why wasn't this released on Android first?! Also when will Google release it, assuming that they plan on to.

      Most iOS keyboards are awful. Android third party keyboards are still miles ahead of iOS offerings. Just about EVERY keyboard I've used on iOS is seriously terrible. The iOS folks need this more than we do.

        Using it right now, quite nice. Android users should really get it by now, iOS is simply the most important market for mobile, regardless of numbers.

            Google releasing a product for iOS before Android is a part of their marketing strategy.
            First of all iOS is a more productive ecosystem. So majority of literate users utilise it to the fullest. This gives google an opportunity that their new product will actually be used by productive people rather us who, because of system slowdown, root their phone and freeze/disable apps and kill the experience.
            Second, Google knows Android users need fantastic products, but more than that, we need those products which are on iOS platform. Google is simply utilising the rage of Android users.
            Third, even if Marshmallow and Lollipop have been proven more stable than iOS, things in iOS work with a flow, so again, better user experience analysis, which they will use in improving the Android counterpart.

            PS: I am really an Android user. No Offence.

                the sweetest way to track all your typings. even steal even your bank card and credentials silently by google.

                    So far very good experience.
                    Very fluid and i just loved the search feature. I was using wordflow before, but this one is far better.

                        I've resorted back to the stock Samsung keyboard - after a fair amount of use it's learnt my text input and is just as quick now - with the bonus of the numbers row :)

                                How ironic? I know this might soon be coming to Android but it should have been on Android first. That's the whole point of IOS and Android users bashing up themselves to prove theirs is better...
