When you find what youre looking for on the keyboard, tap it to send it off.

Most obviously, you’ve got the option to search Google or look for videos on YouTube.

Its also nice that unlike most iOS keyboards, theres a full-featured app aside from the keyboard.

The beauty of Giphy Keys is in its simplicity and its overall usability.

Its a fantastic solution to the problem of typing one-handed on bigger phones.
