Google has this week opened up beta testing programs for its Gboard keyboard application and for Google Play Services. Gboard is an advanced keyboard that includes emoji and GIF search tools. Google Play Services is the core behind the Google Play Store and is what allows developers to create apps for multiple versions of the operating system. Google warns that beta variants of Gboard and Play Services may be unstable when compared to the public releases. Google hopes beta testers will offer feedback about their experiences in order to help improve the apps ahead of general release. Google already offers beta testing programs for the Google Search app and Chrome browser.
