Swiftkey on Android is like a Swiss army knife! On ios it's lazy, has next to zero customization features. I am 10 times more productive on my pixel 7 pro than on my iPad. I would rather slit my wrists than continue using the ios keyboard..not much better with swiftkey on ios either.
Got a tip for us?

I hate the stock iOS keyboard. I'm only used to the Swiftkey keyboard, but hate how it drops random full stops if you type too fast. But do we have any alternatives?
SwiftKey on Android is amazing. The auto-correction is by far the best on any keyboard on any platform. It's a joy to use. Even the stock Samsung keyboard is fantastic and yet nothing available on iOS can touch either of these. Bizarre.
What can it do that's so fantastic?
At least SwiftKey on iOS has the option to enable an always on numbers row now (I just turned it on).
Huh. Good to have a reminder that 3rd party keyboards are a thing in iOS. I loath the current iOS keyboard. Nokia gave me a less frustrating soft keyboard experience all the way back in 2009.
I remember when iOS 8 first came out, as soon as I installed it, I downloaded SwiftKey and have been exclusively using it ever since
About the only thing that keeps me from using SwiftKey full time on my iPhone is that it's one "row" taller than the default keyboard and that sometimes causes issues with some apps in terms of how things look on the screen
Yes and especially in landscape mode. However the stock keyboard is so dealbreakingly bad that this extra row of height is still 100% preferable.
They do look a bit wonky sometimes but I've actually come to be used to it and don't mind it as much anymore but when I use the stock keyboard, I like the simplicity of it
