Switching keyboard for password is stupid

[marine0816]

Apple couldn't just give us 3rd party keyboards without crippling it? It makes Spotlight search sluggish and going back and forth entering passwords which changes the keyboard is making it cumbersome. I want to use the real swift-key uninterrupted not a copycat swiftkey (apple QuickType) I'm not buying the whole security arguement, Apple loves crippling innovations if they didn't come up with it.

A third party keyboard is no more innovative than a third party keyboard on a physical computer. That's not what "innovation" is. Putting a hydrogen engine in a car is innovative.

And I've tried third party keyboards on both Android and iOS and they all suck balls. Either they have no predictive text, or it sucks, or they are slow, or ugly... And I'm probably thinking that it's more of a security issue than anything resembling "crippling innovation."

That's why they let 3rd party keyboards in the first place. /s

I would not want something that requires this:

seeing what my passwords are.

That being said, I prefer the regular keyboard to third party ones, personally of course.

So I'm confused. I thought if you granted a third-party keyboard god access (like above), then you could use it for passwords and stuff?

I believe Apple forces all password keystrokes to use the regular keyboard.

That's how it SHOULD work but instead Apple likes to coddle us and thinks we aren't smart enough to understand the risks and make our own decisions.

Also did anyone notice you can't write an app review with any third party keyboard enabled? The UI is broken when you click on the subject field. Such a big miss by Apple's QA shows their hearts just weren't fully invested in supporting keyboard customisation.

U need to disable the English keyboard and only keep the swiftkey one.

That's not how it should work. I don't want a 3rd party app seeing my passwords and recording them

But you are OK with Apple doing it?

How do you disable it? I only get the option to delete it. BTW… been using swiftkey for the past four days and love it.

UPDATE: Duh. I got it. You delete it and can always re-add it back later. Sorry in advance!

 

[TroyBoy30]

But you are OK with Apple doing it?

Yes. I'm glad they did it. Swiftkey is nothing more than a key logger that you gave full access to

Jeesh, no wonder iOS is such a closed garden. All these tin foil people ruin it for the rest of us.

Apple for life, ryde or die

 

[Tmurray315]

How do u disable it and delete it I just want swiftkey

----------

I Disabled English keyboard only time SwiftKey pops up is in quick reply other than that doesn't work

Yeah, Apple isn't doing it because of those people, Apple is doing it because of how they want to have their OS to work.

Sounds like one of keyboard bugs that seem to exist. A future update will likely address at least some of these.

 

[marine0816]

I gave in, I'm forced to use the swiftkey clone. Apple made a terrible experience with 3rd party keyboards

 

[TroyBoy30]

has nothing to do with it being apple. its simply a wise choice. i dont trust an app that requires full permissions to everything i type with my passwords

You know there wouldn't be Android as you know it today without the iPhone right?
