Users of the US-English version of the Gboard keyboard will soon be able to add custom text stickers to their device. The feature, which allows you to create and send personalized stickers by typing in your own text and choosing a premade design, was only available to users of the other operating systems.

Over 1,600 new Pride Month and summer themed mashups have been added to Gboard's Emoji Kitchen. It's possible to use the feature by simply typing in a message and then seeing what kind of mashups you can translate into stickers. The result is fun and sometimes unconventional.

Sound Amplifier and Lookout are two accessibility-focused apps that are being rolled out by the search giant. Sound Amplifier, which is designed to amplify specific sounds for people who have hearing difficulties, is getting a redesign, improved background noise reduction, and more accurate sound. An offline mode and a way for users to hear a description of an image from within "just about any" app or browser are new features for Lookout.

You will soon be able to redeem your play points in a game or app. You won't have to go through the extra steps of converting your Play Points into a coupon before you redeem them. The feature will be rolled out over the coming weeks, according to the company.
