The only thing it lacks is a proper alpha-numeric keyboard but that was never its main point of attraction. It is probably the fastest GIF app too and the collection is awesome. Verdict: Tenor is a great app to search and send GIF images. You can view trending and famous GIFs on the fly. You can create an account and share your GIFs online. Tenor is a supplementary app built to complement your existing keyboard app. Once you send the GIF, your default keyboard app will kick in because Tenor doesn’t actually have an alpha-numeric keyboard. This way, Tenor is basically competing with Giphy, another search engine built for search GIFs, but Tenor is super fast and really fun. It also supports videos, which I haven’t seen on any other GIF keyboard yet. Just input the keyword and Tenor will come back with suggestions that you can share, post or embed anywhere. The library is huge and loads pretty fast. Tenor is not exactly a keyboard app like the rest, but it is more like a search engine for GIFs which you can then share on any platform or messenger. I like the built-in clipboard manager, but it lacks moving emojis found in Gboard. Verdict: Facemoji Emoji is an app that was built for people who love to use emojis, not for people who love to type. You can turn your face into an emoji, animoji. On the other hand, predictive text is not up to the mark and there are better options. Other features include a clipboard, voice support, and smart replies. It will kind of make you use it even if you were not thinking of, which makes it a little addicting. It comes with language translation which works, I believe, using the Google Translate API. There is a search function to find more GIFs on the web. So you know there is the perfect emoji for feelings you are trying to express. Facemoji will also suggest you emoticons as you type words like clap, smile, birthday or eat. When loading GIFs previews, I noticed it was faster than Gboard. With more than 3500 emoticons, GIFs, stickers, and symbols to choose from, Facemoji has enough to satisfy your thirst for communicating in GIFs. Facemoji Emoji Keyboardįacemoji Emoji is one of the new entrants in the GIF and emoji keyboard scene but has quickly climbed up the ranks. Verdict: The GIF search will get you more GIFs than you know where and how to use, plus additional Google functionalities like search, translate, and maps will make your life that much easier. Where Gboard does shine is all other Google services that it integrates into like maps, search, translate, and voice commands.

The collection of live GIF smileys is also really small. Google needs to reduce the size to accommodate more smileys on a single screen. I couldn’t see more than 2 live smileys on a single screen which forced me to scroll quite a bit to find the one I was looking for. While it does comes with live smileys or GIF smileys and stickers, I didn’t really like the way they were presented. I guess there are no surprises here because search is Google’s middle name. Like most keyboard there it also comes with some smileys and GIFs by default, but there is also an option to search for new GIFs using the built-in search function. Gboard (short for Google Keyboard) comes pre-installed on most stock Android smartphones. The default way to do the same is tricky and requires more effort than necessary. If you are looking to use more than one keyboard, like many others, you must install Quick Keyboard Switch that will help you quickly switch between regular typing keyboard and GIF keyboards. While there are many GIFs, emojis, and stickers keyboard app available in the Play Store, a dedicated app for GIFs can be overkill for some people.
