“For those customers who have SwiftKey installed on iOS, it will continue to work until it is manually uninstalled or a user gets a new device.” The move to discontinue SwiftKey on iOS comes after months of user complaints that seemingly went unresolved.

Microsoft SwiftKey is designed to improve the ease and accuracy of your typing, no matter how (or what) you type! We use advanced error correction to make grammar and spelling errors a thing of the past. We predict your NEXT word so you won't need to press more than two letters!

When using the gesture "swipe/hold spacebar to use cursor control", SwiftKey allows for vertical, horizontal, and diagonal movement - essentially turning the whole keyboard into a trackpad while using the cursor function. In contrast, Gboard only allows horizontal movement of the cursor.
