#Gboard v7.2

Sometimes words just aren't enough when sending messages. That's when you resort to emoji, stickers, and (in extreme cases) GIFs. It's getting easier to create GIFs with the latest beta update to Gboard. All you need to do is open the GIF section, and you can make your own custom GIF with the camera.

 This feature is not arriving out of the blue—the GIF creation feature has popped up in a pair of APK Teardowns. Now, that feature has arrived, and it works as we expected. You can open the GIF interface in the keyboard, then make sure you're in the "My GIFs" tab to create one. Gboard asks for the camera permission when you begin the creation process the first time. You get a full-screen camera interface when making your GIF, which is about three seconds long. Google also has some wacky filters to add to the video. GIFs are saved in the My GIFs tab for later re-use as well.

Google has added a new sticker gallery to Gboard, and it looks a lot like the one from Allo. It even has the blobmoji. With Allo effectively dead, Google had to do something with all those stickers. You can browse the selection and add the ones you like to Gboard.

 In addition, the current build of Gboard we have drops support for KitKat and earlier. There may be other builds later that support old versions of Android, but Google might also be ending Gboard updates for these versions. If you want to check the update out on your phone, it's on APK Mirror.
