Google updates Gboard keyboard app with ability to make GIFs, new sticker gallery

Google has just released a new version of its Gboard keyboard app for Android devices. As expected, the latest update brings support for new languages, but the new app comes with a few new features and improvements as well.

Firstly, Google has added support for 16 new languages: Ahirani, Bahamianese, Kannauji, Fijian, Gagauz, Halbi, Karakalpak, Kanuri, Komi, Moksha, Pangasinan, Sango, Veps, Võro, Wagdi, and Zeeuws.

Also, Gboard now allows users to make their own GIFs using the phone's camera, and immediately share them with their friends. Moreover, the update adds a sticker gallery that contains more than 500 new stickers.

It's also worth mentioning that those who use the beta version of Gboard app are getting a little tweak for the US English keyboard, which will add autospace after punctuation. If you don't use the beta though, you won't be getting this change yet.
