Privacy
We know the things that you type on your phone are personal, so we’ve designed Gboard to keep your private information private.
What Gboard sends to Google:
• Gboard sends your searches to Google’s web servers to give you search results.
• Gboard also sends usage statistics to Google to let us know which features are used most often and to help us understand problems if the app crashes.
• If you use Gboard’s microphone, voice input will be sent to Google for transcription.
What Gboard doesn’t send to Google:
• Other than your searches and voice inputs, Gboard doesn't send anything you type to Google, whether it’s a password or chat with a friend.
• To help you with spelling and to predict searches you might be interested in, Gboard will store the words you type on your device. This data is not accessible by Google or by any apps, and can be cleared at any time.
• If you’ve turned on contacts search in Gboard search settings, this allows Gboard to search the contacts on your device so that you can easily share. None of these queries is sent to Google.
What’s New

Ratings and Reviews
It almost the best keyboard for iPhones, just...
Gboard used to look blurry on iOS 10 and iOS 11. In iOS 12 this is very well fixed! Thanks Google! Inbuilt search is super handy and it's hard to go back once you get used to it. Word suggestions are also great but that's not surprising considering Google arguably perhaps has best ML and AI tech in the world.
Just one additional feature request: please add the option of force touch to move cursor within the text box similar to stock keyboard of iOS. That's the only thing, the force touch is being implemented properly and is appreciated by people. After using stock keyboard, because of lack of only this feature, Gboard seems incomplete in checking off all the right boxes.
Hope the geniuses at Google acknowledge this and update the app with force touch feature!
Emoji & GIF section not opening since I have updated to iOS 15.2
Yesterday I updated my phone to iOS 15.2, after that when I am opening Gboard to type, I am able to use it just for typing, but when I tap on the emoji section to use an emoji or go to the GIF section using it, it doesn't allow me to do so and the keyboard appears again. After tapping twice or thrice on it, the system changes the keyboard to the default iPhone's keyboard.
I tried uninstalling and the re-installing, which helped for like 5-7 minutes, and then again the same thing started happening.
Now I am forced to use grammarly keyboard for emojis. GIF I still can't use.
Fix this Google. ASAP. Please.
Better but....
Prediction is much better than Swiftkey. But rooms for improvement are: cursor movement/pointing by long pressing the space key. Swiftkey does a better job here providing full keyboard for cursor pointing. Long pressing of any key should be much more fluent to change characters like Swiftkey/Flesky. Look can be little bit of elegant but okay if not. For many contextual typing backspace button can act as one character delete for first press and full word delete for second press.
This review is for iPhones running iOS12 or older.
