Microsoft's Word Flow Keyboard Gets Built-in Search
Watch out, Google Gboard: Microsoft's keyboard app is getting a built-in search feature as well.
Redmond on Tuesday updated its Word Flow app with some handy new
features, including the ability to search for GIFs, images, and emoji
right from the keyboard via Bing. You can also now easily find contacts
when you need to share someone's phone number and look up things like
restaurants, news, videos, facts to help you win an argument, and the
weather forecast right from the keyboard.
Microsoft is, of course, aiming to compete with Google's recently released Gboard app, which lets you search and send information, emoji, and GIFs from your keyboard.
Word Flow, meanwhile, also now offers GIF predictions, showing you
icons you might want to include in your message as you type. Like other
keyboard apps, it also now shows word suggestions as you write out your
messages.
First released in April, Word Flow sits at the bottom corner of the
iPhone letting you quickly type out messages with a single finger. Those
who don't want the "arc" mode for one-handed typing can use it as a
standard keyboard in landscape mode.
