First time I saw this Gboard feature

Is this new or has it actually existed for a long time? Stumbled upon it when I was typing this in a whatsapp conversation: "Should I call him?", then this graphic popped up:

I then started trying random words, and discovered for at least a few short phrases, and a little more number of singular words, as soon as you enter a punctuation after the word/phrase such as a period, question mark, at the end, the suggested graphic would show up:

  • Yes!
  • No.
  • Good?
  • I love you!
  • Cheers!

Some (like Cheers) even have accompanying beer mugs to go along with the word art.

What other words / phrases are there to trigger these word graphic?

  • It's a relatively new feature that is slowly rolling out to other languages/regions. I received it maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago (in Germany).

    I don't think there's a definitive list of words/phrases that trigger it. It usually works with one or two words (for example "happy birthday!") followed by an exclamation mark. Could be pretty much anything. It even works with "Batman!" Although the result is ... well, not appropriate for the Dark Knight. 😄
