QWERTY keyboard app SwiftKey is being delisted from the Apple App Store on October 5th although the app will still be available from the Play Store.
In 2016, Microsoft bought virtual QWERTY keyboard app SwiftKey for $250 million. That's a quarter of a billion dollars, folks. But it appears that SwiftKey for iOS is about to shut down. According to an official statement from SwiftKey published byToday, SwiftKey's Chris Wolfe, the director of product management, said in a statement,"As of October 5, support for SwiftKey iOS will end and it will be delisted from theApp Store.
SwiftKey, at one time, was an extremely popular app and in fact, it was the top-grossing paid app in the Google Play Store in 2012 and 2013 before Microsoft bought it. Considering that it is only the iOS version of the app that is getting the big kiss-off, this decision might have something to do with how Apple's walled garden stifles the SwiftKey app.
The app also allows you to input words by swiping across the keyboard. You can also select from over 100 themes, search for emojis, GIFs, and stickers, and integrate with the Microsoft To Do app to add tasks to your personal list of things you need to do. If you own an iPhone and want to use SwiftKey, make sure to install the app before October 5th. If you have an Android phone, SwiftKey is going to be hanging around for some time.
