The Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard is back on iOS! 🎉🎊🍾🥳Stay connected with what the team has in store for it!Link ➡️ pic.twitter. The app is currently listed in the Apple App Store and still maintains an impressive 4.6 (out of 5) rating, which is higher than Gboard’s 4.0. Now, the company is doing a 180 and has decided to bring SwiftKey back on iOS. No reason was ever given for the decision, which is confusing to say the least. Those who already have the keyboard installed can continue to use it. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft announced that SwiftKey was deprecated and removed from the Apple App Store in early October. Granted, Apple doesn’t make it easy to use third-party keyboards because of “security concerns,” but SwiftKey appears to have a dedicated following.

In a sudden reversal, Microsoft is now porting SwiftKey to iOS with the potential for further development.įor those who prefer third-party keyboards to Apple’s own on the iPhone (and those who don’t), Microsoft’s SwiftKey was always a solid option next to Google’s own Gboard.
