But Microsoft seems to have changed its mind.
The SwiftKey keyboard is reportedly making a comeback for Apple users and has been spotted on the App Store. The vice president of the tech firm’s Office Product Group confirmed the report in a tweet.
In a report on GsmArena, a Twitter spokesperson explained that SwiftKey is returning to iOS and that the tech company is also renewing support for the platform. Though backwards, SwiftKey’s latest update is still dated August 11, 2021.
The report also reveals that the tech company has big future plans to invest heavily in SwiftKey.
In May, SwiftKey received its latest Android update which made it easier to remove text and also added the option to turn off auto spaces after punctuation.
SwiftKey, already one of the most popular keyboard apps on iOS and Android, was acquired by Microsoft for $250 million in 2016.
SwiftKey launched on Android in 2010 and arrived on iOS in 2014. SwiftKey’s predictive keyboard for iOS will be removed from the Apple App Store on October 5th.
Meanwhile, at a high-octane virtual event a few months ago, Microsoft launched the new Surface Laptop 5, Surface Pro 9, and Surface Studio 2+.
The tech giant has also introduced a number of new features in Windows 11.
The new Surface Laptop 5 comes with the 12th Gen Intel Evo chipset, Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a stunning sage color. However, the design has been retained from its predecessors. The laptop is 50 percent more powerful than the Surface Laptop 4 and has an 18-hour battery life.
