Google Keyboard Update: You can Now Use Chat Stickers

The Gboard app has been updated by Google for all Android devices. The new app now offers stickers and bitmoji support. A new stickers tab has been added to the keyboard for activating this feature. The new tab sits next to the emoji and GIF tabs previously available on the Gboard app.

You can update your phone’s Gboard app by going to the Google Play Store. Once you install the update, sticker and bitmojis are available from the Play Store to use with supported apps.

Can’t see the update even after updating?

It might be that you are using a third-party keyboard. You have to make the Gboard, the default keyboard app on your phone.

• Go to Settings>Language & Input>Keyboard & Input Methods
• Select Gboard as your default keyboard
• Now you are all set to spice up your conversations

Stickers and bitmojis are a great way to add more character to your chats. With literally hundreds of expressions, reactions and comebacks available for download, you can set the tone of any conversation. Google is already working on releasing more bitmojis and stickers of their own. Right now, you can download some of the famous bitmojis like Disney, Hello Kitty, Garfield and Star Wars.
