(Side note: If Swype itself ever arrives on iOS, in any form, it’ll be reason for much rejoicing, at least by me of all keyboards on all mobile devices, it’s my favorite. And this version of the keyboard doesn’t include SwiftKey Flow, the Swype-like option which lets you glide your fingertip around the keyboard rather than tapping, as if it were a tiny ice skater. Besides the fact that the keyboard is only available in this one app, you can’t connect it to Gmail, Twitter, Facebook and other sources to let it learn more about your prose style for ever better accuracy. In this first iOS incarnation, there’s a lot of SwiftKey’s Android version that’s missing. And as you use the app, SwiftKey learns about your typing habits, helping its autocorrections to actually be correct and its next-word predictions to be useful. Once you’ve completed a word, three possibilities for the next word you might want to type appear. As you type a word, three possibilities appear above the keyboard, any one of which you can select with a tap. The app’s keyboard looks like the standard iOS one, but incorporates a bunch of the features which have made SwiftKey successful on Android. It’s part of SwiftKey Note, a free note-taking app for iPhone and iPad which is debuting today. And now it’s available for iOS - sort of. On Android, one of the most popular of those alternative keyboards is SwiftKey.
Follow you were to make a list of the biggest, most platform-defining differences between Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android, one point would be near the top: Android lets you plug third-party keyboards into the operating system, and iOS does not.
