@orliesaurus Just like youtube cried itself to sleep with video, twitter did with buzz, spotify did with music, and the list goes on. The "what if Google does it" question is over-rated.

@jasonlbaptiste @orliesaurus It's especially over-rated when others have had a year or two head-start.

@blakeir @jasonlbaptiste @orliesaurus yeah if Google would do everything, then I stay in bed all day but it's not the case! We're building our product and here to stay!

Hey PH, Bri from the Gboard team here. Gboard is a new iOS keyboard from Google that lets you search and send search results, GIFs, emojis and more, right from your keyboard. We also added Glide Typing (aka gesture typing) so you can type even faster. Check it out at goo.gl/gboard. It’s US only for now, but we have a global update coming shortly. A couple of pro tips: - We have emoji autocorrect. Try typing “pizza”. - You can move the cursor by dragging your finger across the space bar. - When you tap a search result card the text is added to your message, but you can send an image of the card by pasting into the messaging space. - We’re trying out this new predictive search feature. Try texting a friend, “want to get a drink tonight” to see it in action. 🙏 We’d love get some feedback and I’m happy to answer questions!

@bricon5 @jordyvangent Would love an option for metric/celsius 😊 Keyboard is nearly perfect otherwise!

I love that you named it Gboard, @bricon5. What other names did you consider? Also, nice video:

@rrhoover I wanted BriBoard but the team didn't go for it.

Can we have a icon like the pre-release one for US only products?

@juanbuis would be a great feature - tired of trying to find out if products are available north of the border or not.

@bricon5 nice work indeed :)

@bricon5 @mauriyouth what do you have in mind, a new keyboard, or an update for vanilla Google Keyboard? ;-)
Evan Petrack
@bricon5 thank you! Because I mean....little sad this didn't come with android support first. Womp womp =(
Jordi Mon Companys
@bricon5 @mauriyouth sweet! Not trying to have your strategy unveiled but, why release it first on iOS?

Looks really nice! Thanks @bricon5. Out of interest, why is it that a lot of keyboard apps (Microsoft Word Flow) and now Gboard are US only?

@jbrooksuk It really comes down to the fact that keyboard layouts/dictionaries take a while to get right - we're still working on improving the quality of our other languages.
Andrew Palmer
@bricon5 @jbrooksuk What about Canada? I imagine the layout/dictionaries would be the same as the US.

@andrew_palmer @jbrooksuk We found that there were enough noticeable differences in spelling/use of words, and we didn't want to offer a subpar experience to our Canadian brothers and sisters.

@bricon5 This is interesting. Will multi-language be able to automatically recognize the language I'm typing in (the way SwiftKey does it) or will I need to manually switch between languages?

Emoji search? I love you. 🙌😍

@syswarren I feel bad for people hunting for the right emoji. I've been using @davidkmckinney's Emoji Type for over a year, although it hasn't been updated to include the newer emojis

@rrhoover @syswarren @davidkmckinney Gboard should have all the newest emojis. If we're missing one, let me know and we'll add it.

@rrhoover @syswarren @bricon5 ha! thanks for the shout out Ryan. Gboard is *really* good. Great execution… re: Emoji Type, that was acquired last year, and no longer available 🙊. I like Gboard a lot — super fun combo of features and functionality 😃

This is BRILLIANT. Types exactly like the native keyboard which I'm already very used to, and the added features are extremely useful. Very well executed, and it looks gorgeous. 10/10.

@bolivar iOS third party keyboards don't have access to the microphone. Otherwise we definitely would!
