Google's Gboard keyboard for iPhone comes with built-in search features

Google has released a new keyboard app for iOS device called Gboard. The new keyboard integrates Google's search into the typing interface, which makes it easier to insert information, GIFs, emojis and more without leaving the conversation.

GBoard has a Google Search icon on the top left of the keyboard. When you tap the icon, you'll be able to search nearby stores, restaurants, videos, images, weather forecasts, news, sports scores and more. When you search for a query, Gboard sends it to Google's web servers and after processing the query offers you the desired results. You'll also be able to serech for GIFs and Emojis as well.

One of the advantage of using GBoard is that you'll not have to leave IM apps such as WhatsApp, WeChat and others to search and add a link, image or video to the conversation.

GBoard also comes with a Glide Typing feature which lets you type faster simply by sliding your finger over the letters.

The app is currently available for iPhones and iPad users in the U.S.
