Gboard(Google Keyboard) recent update brings 120 languages in total

Google’s keyboard app for Android is now available with an update that packs 40 additional languages (including Tamil), and built-in sticker packs. Gboard has everything you love about Google Keyboard speed and reliability, Glide Typing, voice typing, and more plus Google Search built in. No more app switching; just search and share, right from your keyboard.

Gboard puts Search right in the keyboard. And, it also adds GIFs, emoji-centric tools (including type and scrawl to search), and glide and voice typing.

Gboard Installation is simple

If you don’t have it installed already, go ahead and grab Gboard from the Google Play Store, then follow the prompts to set it as your default keyboard.

Its good chance that your Android device came with a couple of keyboard options pre-installed. For example, if you have a Samsung device, you’ve probably got Samsung’s keyboard installed.To enable additional keyboards, go to Settings then Language and Input. Under Keyboards and input methods, you’ll see all of the keyboards currently installed on your device.To enable a keyboard, simply check its box and you can now use that keyboard whenever you’re typing in a text box. To set the default keyboard, tap Default and choose your desired input method.

Once you have a keyboard enabled, you can use it whenever you’re typing in a text box. Your default keyboard will always come up first, but you can quickly switch between keyboards by opening your notification bar menu.

Pro tips:
