One of the best things about Gboard is how fun it is to communicate with. Emoji GIFs, stickers, Bitmoji, and even the incredibly entertaining Emoji Kitchen are all readily available. Google recently introduced a new tool into the mix, which allows users to generate custom text stickers based on their typing.
Whether wishing your friends a happy birthday, congratulating them on something, or simply saying good morning, these new personalized text stickers are a great way to honor them. As part of the March 2022 Function Drop, the feature started arriving on Google devices including the Pixel 6 series, but don’t worry if you haven’t figured out how to use it yet. I’ll talk you through how to get it up and running!
