Gboard offers several features, including glide typing, voice typing, built-in emoji and GIF search, as well as the ability to write in multiple languages at the same time.

The keyboard also features a new G button that can be used to instantly search Google for things such as nearby stores or restaurants, videos, images, news articles, sports scores, and so on.
