Apple Warns About Third-Party Keyboard Issue in iOS 13 and iPadOS, Fix Coming Soon

I do not care. I deleted all of them already as the all screw keyboard switching scheme and kill experience.

I really like the new Apple slide keyboard. I was so disappointed when I realized how poorly it had been implemented on the iPad and that I'd still need GBoard. I wonder what their thought process was.

My exact reaction too.

sad

Who cares about third party keyboards with iOS 13 ?

I'm not seeing it in iPadOS?

it works great on my iPhone.

am i missing a setting somewhere?

I don’t think it’s implemented on iPad.

Clearly we don't have a software developer here...

Yep. But everyone seems to be entitled to complain here.

breaking news ! Software could have bugs.

I fear that the built in Apple swipe isn't as good as the Google keyboard. I have a feeling I'll keep using it, but keep swapping to see if I can learn the Apple version.

Surely Apple keyboard isn’t giving Google all of your data as Gboard...

In iPadOS it only works in the small keyboard (two finger zoom out gesture on the keyboard to go from big to small, and then two finger zoom in gesture on the keyboard to go from small to big). It doesn't work in the full-sized keyboard. It works just like on iPhone on the small keyboard.

Third party keyboards are automatically disabled on password entry fields.

Didn’t know about small keyboard! Great!!!
Thank you.

I always thought add-on keyboards were a bad idea on Android ripe for abuse (proven right over the years), and I have believed this to be an equally bad idea on iOS since the day it was introduced, and once again proven right.

The built-in iOS keyboard is second-to-none for accuracy and ease of use, why some one would want to infect their iOS device with a potentially keystroke-harvesting POS is beyond me.

Thank god people like you don’t run Apple.

Yes, yes of course you are. Now try to get out of your bubble and imagine there are people not natively speaking english. Wow, what a shock, right? Unfortunately Apple doesn't support all features for all languages, hence the need for third party keyboards. Glad to enlighten you.

Till iOS 13 I was still using SwiftKey and loved it. You guys might be native English speakers, but for many languages in the rest of the world the default Apple keyboard was/is almost useless. Till iOS 13 my language didn’t even have word prediction, let alone being able to talk in two languages without changing the keyboard (which is very common in my country). SwiftKey had all of that for years, so obviously many people use third party keyboards if Apple is too lazy or just doesn’t prioritise a simple keyboard update for other than the big languages.

But only now I can finally switch. Even though many other people probably still can’t or won’t.

Exactly, my language only supports typing and dictation. Even Auto-Correction works incorrectly and needs to be turned off. There is no Predictive Input, Multilingual Typing, no Contextual or Emoji predictions and of course no QuickPath. So the stock keyboard is completely useless.

However SwiftKey supports all of the above even without enabling full access, so I'm only using SwiftKey and have all of the stock keyboards turned off.
