Last year, I wrote an article about the Android apps I recommend to non-techies. In that piece, my keyboard pick was Gboard, thanks to its ease of use. However, not every reader agreed with me, and some mentioned a name I hadn’t heard (or used) in years: SwiftKey.
I was once an avid SwiftKey user, opting for the innovative keyboard early in my Android journey over Google’s simpler default option. The allure of the more efficient and sensibly designed Google alternative eventually drew me away as I upgraded to more polished devices. But, given that we’ve just started a new year, could the reverse be true? Could SwiftKey challenge Gboard on my devices going forward?
