Google’s Gboard is one of the finest keyboards in the App Store. Now Gboard partners with Google Maps and YouTube for more possibilities.
Gboard, Google Maps and Youtube
In our opinion, Gboard is one of the finest keyboards in the App Store and today the app is getting a little more extensive. Google is adding connections with Google Maps and YouTube. From now on you can also make drawings and share them with your contacts. Read on to find out how these services work in Gboard.

Gboard and Google Maps
With the new integration of Google Maps in Gboard it is possible to send your current location to your contact. You can also choose an address, for example if you are meeting somewhere and you are still on the road. To use this function, press the G button and then ‘Maps’.
Gboard and YouTube
The YouTube integration works in a similar way, but with video sharing. You press the G button and then ‘YouTube’. Then you search for the right video and place it in a conversation or a tweet, for example. This eliminates the need to go to the YouTube app to search for a video and copy a link and then paste it into a text message.
Drawing in Gboard
It is now also possible to send a drawing. To do this, tap the emoji button and then the pen icon. Then you draw something beautiful and send the result.
The above functions are included in the latest version of the app. However, we are not seeing the functions again, so they are still being rolled out. In any case, make sure that you download the latest version of the app via the link below.
