Apple Announces Enhanced 'QuickType' Keyboard Functions in iOS 10

[MacRumors]

Apple has unveiled extensive new functionality, multiple language support, and Siri-enhanced features for the QuickType keyboard in iOS 10.

The update brings significantly expanded contextual awareness to the QuickType keyboard when responding to messages, with a number of suggested replies offered directly from Siri.

For example, if someone texts you a question like "Where are you?" Siri can offer to send your current location. Likewise, if you receive a message like "What's Sue's address?", Siri can offer to send the information with a single tap.

Intelligent scheduling has also been improved, while users can now switch between multiple languages on the fly without having to manually change keyboards.

Other Siri assistive keyboard features include contact information, calendar availability, recent addresses, and contextual lookup options.

Works pretty well for me on the Mac. But it's really annoying in iOS. Glad they are changing it now

Looking good, but have they added any more languages yet? Writing in Norwegian feels really tidious compared to English due to the lack of QuickType. One would figure that when they can do perfect dictation and Siri on Norwegian, they would also be able to add this.

Can't believe some of the things they highlighted today. This was one of them.

I just wanted cursor keys for my iPads. No force touch, so a PITA to nudge the cursor one character....but nooooooo!

I would prefer more support for 3rd party keyboards.

Does SwiftKey pop up for replying to iMessages from lock screen if phone is locked?

2 finger touch in text area doesn't work for you? Works pretty well for me on my Air 1

I prefer Microsoft's Word Flow.

so no swiping in apples keyboard still?

is apple allowing 3dtouch and dictation in 3rd party keyboards yet then?

come on!!

I thought QuickType already did this stuff? I'm pretty sure this was said in another keynote.

But tbh, apple's keyboard is probably still better than every 3rd party keyboard out there now. It's just polished and fast, minus the small bugs. Swiftkey takes a bit longer to type IMO.
