Google is in the process of launching all the "Go" apps that will power the lighter, faster version of Android designed for low-power devices. We've already seen Maps Go, YouTube Go, and several more, but now there's Gboard Go. This app doesn't seem to have its own listing in the Play Store, but it's available to devices with low RAM and anyone running Android 8.1 who wants to sideload it.

Gboard Go looks and works mostly the same as the full Gboard, and it installs on top of the standard app. It has themes, gesture typing, and integrated search. However, it's missing features like GIF search and stickers. One-handed mode also appears to be a no-show in Gboard Go. The real reason you want Gboard Go is the lower RAM usage. According to our tipster, it uses under 40MB of RAM whereas the regular version is about 70MB.
