The fact is that the bitcoin symbol does not appear for iPhone users worldwide as some users from some countries reported that they cant find the bitcoin symbol. I'm iOS user (old iPhone Smiley )as well and I cant find it on my google keyboard (last update). So I dont see any significant effect from this addition. It is just a symbol in which people are very rare to use symbol, it will bring much more effect if google add something more mainstream.

This is probably intended to triggered people to get attention on Bitcoin for those who didn't know what is Bitcoin and that symbol makes them curiosity on that symbol. Or the second option is bitcoin symbol is cool stuff and it must belong to world currency symbol.
We can't deny the fact that bitcoin currency now is very popular that's the reason I guess they include the symbol on iOS in google keyboard.

There might be two things involved here. First is that they probably want to create more awareness among those  who ain't aware of Bitcoin and using their products.
And another second thing is that, they might have done a market survey and discovered that most of their users are making use of it; this they decided to include it. If that will surely make them more money, they wont hesitate to include it. Lol.

The addition of a bitcoin currency symbol clearly shows that Google does not turn a blind eye to the crypto world.

why is it just the IOS app? anybody else think that's weird? i don't think many iphone users are using the google keyboard.

Google has a significant effect on the cryptocurrency market.
Time will tell what the cascading effect of adding the bitcoin symbol is to the minds of everyday iOS users.

time will tell but it seems like a non-event to me.

i also looked at the screenshots. you need to hold down the $ key to see the bitcoin symbol in a dropdown menu. not many people are going to see this!

i'm not complaining, i just think people are overstating the importance a bit.

Nothing, it's just a cool symbol coming in to smartphones considering how big the publicity was for bitcoin in the past few years. Also, there are a lot of crypto enthusiasts that are using iOS phones and machines for their everyday life, and this little symbol Google added on their keyboard can come in handy on some situations. In the near future, this symbol could be on Google's Android keyboard too, knowing how many people are really using android compared to iOS. Anyway price wise, this wouldn't do anything significant aside from a cool little heads up that such a feature already exists in a keyboard.

Speculation?

I still don't get why Google add it to iOS but not Android. And this certainly brings nothing except maybe acceptance that Bitcoin is going more mainstream (people, in general, have heard or know about it).

android do already suported crypto but on ios , i never see one aside from this little BTC symbol on thier keyboard . this might be the start for apple and ios user to start recognizing the word bitcoin and crypto  .

in addition to android  . theres already a new android device ( samsung s10 ) to be specific that will be launched with a built in crypto wallet .
