Glympse, the very popular location-sharing app, is extending its ease of use by releasing a keyboard application. Glympse Keyboard is an app that allows users to share their location despite another app being opened. This is useful as users no longer have to bounce around between apps to use Glympse and can continue carrying on with business as usual.

There are two ways to use Glympse Keyboard's feature. Quick Send utilizes a timer set by the user to send a message with their location. With Quick Send, users can continue using any keyboard. The other option is to use Glympse Keyboard's Full Keyboard that takes over as the go-to keyboard. The letter G on the keyboard is replaced with Glympse's G and a longpress activates location-sharing.
