There are tons of advantages to using Google's keyboard app, Gboard, rather than your phone's default: You can use Google search within the keyboard, and it can automatically translate your sentences. Another cool capability is customization. 

Unlike other keyboards, Gboard allows you to change its theme, meaning you can set a picture or color scheme as the keyboard's background. This might help you read it better or is just a fun way to be expressive whenever you type. Either way, it's easy to set up, whether you have an iPhone or an Android.
