There are things that words cannot express. In these times in which social networks are the daily bread we have found other options to express moods or feelings, among which emojis and animated GIFs stand out..

A GIF or Graphics Interchange Format is a digital image format used to create short animations that run in a loop. These images in loop motion have become especially popular on many platforms such as WhatsApp , Instagram , Facebook or Telegram and this trend does not seem to stop growing at least for a while.

Due to its success there are lots of platforms that allow us to create personalized GIFs to share, but there is a way to create and share them directly from the keyboard. And that is precisely what we will explain today in TechnoWikis step by step on your Android mobile or iPhone using the Google Gboard keyboard. For this you will have to do the following:

Step 1

Download on your Gboard phone, the Google keyboard, in the following link if you have an iPhone:
DOWNLOAD GBOARD IPHONE

If instead you use an Android device you will have to download the application in the following link in the Play Store:

DOWNLOAD GBOARD ANDROID

If you are Android you must be beta-tester of this function. You can start by clicking on this link:

BETA TESTER GBOARD

Once you have downloaded it when you open the application you will see the following. Click on "Start"
