A GIF keyboard is an application that can be used to search and insert GIF images, i.e. animated images, when writing messages in various Messenger (Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and others), in Facebook or in other sites such as Tumblr. The opportunity for this article comes from Google, which has launched a new app called Gboard, the Google keyboard for iPhone and Android, which is used to insert GIF images by integrating the standard keyboard.
The Google keyboard can be called up to search for GIFs (by pressing the globe button) without having to leave the application in which you are writing, to insert the image directly.
In addition to the Google GBoard keyboard, there are also several other apps to have an easy and immediate access GIF keyboard, on Android smartphones and iPhone, to search, share and send GIFs in various chats, messages and social networks.
The best GIF keyboard, or at least the most used today (before GBoard), is GIF Keyboard, for Android and for iPhone .
GIF Keyobard is an excellent app to search for GIF images based on the reaction you want to express and integrates with Wahtsapp, with Facebook Messenger, with KIK Messenger and with Facebook to share GIF images on the profile quickly and easily from your mobile phone.

A keyboard that integrates well on the iPhone and that allows you to share GIF quickly from the keyboard without having to change apps while typing is that of Giphy .
Once installed, just press the globe icon at the bottom left on the iPhone keyboard to call up Giphy Keys and look for a GIF to send to express a certain state of mind or an emotion.
This app also has a function to transform each word into GIF, to animate it and make it more pleasant and interactive.
A very popular Android app as a GIF keyboard is Gif Keyboard, which can be replaced by the default mobile phone keyboard by providing a keyboard to quickly insert Emoji and even GIF images.
Both on Android and on iPhone, those who love GIFs, those who want to have an easy way to send GIF images, but without also giving up the normal letters of the alphabet and numbers, to have a single default keyboard that includes everything, can install the excellent Fleksy Keyboard app.
This is a smart keyboard that includes all the basic functions of a traditional keyboard, with in addition two buttons to quickly access a list of Emojis and smileys and to search for GIF images to share.
Only on Android, to have a keyboard similar to GBoard, with the integrated GIF search, you can install the Giphy app, which can also replace the normal keyboard of the phone because it includes all the standard functions.
