Gboard

Android typing app

Gboard is Google's virtual keyboard application for smartphones and tablets, offering features like swipe typing, voice input, and built-in search.

It integrates Google services directly into the keyboard, allowing users to search for information, GIFs, and emoji without leaving their current app.

I switched to Gboard because the swipe typing is faster.
