Gboard supports multiple input methods – QWERTY keyboard, gesture, or voice. Emojis are also available. The keyboard is able to suggest words so that you do not have to type them completely. The preview screen allows you to view and edit messages. Gboard supports multiple languages ​​and makes it easy to switch between them.
