I'm not sure if it does by default, but you will have the same keyboard switcher you already use... so you can still put in Emojii's like you do right now.
Got a tip for us?

No, because an ad has to be interesting and memorable for any product to have a good success. Looking into the product comes later. This goes for most ads I think you'll find.
As a developer its more secure and you do not have to worry about handling/protecting a user database. it's super simple to add and manage, FB, TW and G+ does all the work.
I use it more than swipe typing, but maybe I just need more practice on the swiping.
Having a small Android tablet to play around with every so often, Swiftkey is a truly great keyboard. It's fast, responsive, and very flexible.
Having that option on my iPhone 5 is going a neat experience but I may wait till a few versions in as it's been a Android staple for a long time. iPhone 5c users will love the color themes and different styles offered by Swiftkey. Still I will give the default iOS 8 keyboard an honest try.

Used swift key from day one on android. Biggest thing I missed when switching two years ago - overdue but most welcome.
See above - you still have to install the app which is swift key keyboard, not swift key note, which is already there.
So in order for you to be able to use swiping input you have to enable full access for the keyboard under system settings. But when you do there's a popup from iOS that warns you these third party keyboards will be able to log our passwords/emails and such. Should we be concerned? =/
edit: SwiftKey seems to be the only one with a warning popup that tells us they might take our password/etc keystrokes. I installed Swype and it worked fine without any warnings.

Tried this keyboard and a few others today. They all suck. Not surprised in the least. This was always bound to be a worthless add on that fandroid forum whiner bloggers could pretend was freedom.

They absolutely can be. Hence the huge warning. Hence why these things are stupid and do not belong on iOS in the first place.

I have SwiftKey on my Android phone. I couldn't wait to try it on my iPad Mini and iPhone. My iPhone is a work phone and they are not approving iOS 8 yet. I have it on my iPad Mini and I must say that I am extremely disappointed in the iOS version of SwiftKey. It is a shadow of what it is on Android.
Which keyboards for example?

No, it is not safe. Over the course of half a decade it has prospered on android and developed in to what is probably the most popular third party keyboard because they steal your financial details and sell them to eastern European organised crime syndicates.
Do we have to switch from the Apple keyboard to the Swiftkey keyboard by pressing the smiley face, then the globe EVERY TIME we want to use Swiftkey? If so...
No need to do that. If you always want Swiftkey to be the first keyboard to be used then go into Settings>General>Keyboard>Keyboards. Then hit Edit and change the ordering of keyboards. I actually removed the default keyboard and just have Swiftkey and Emoji keyboards enabled.
