The keyboard app, if already downloaded, will still be
available on iPhones unless users don't decide to uninstall it.
"We are ending support for Microsoft SwiftKey iOS.
Thank you for being a user of our product. The app will be delisted from the
App Store on October 5, 2022," Microsoft said in an update.
For those customers who have SwiftKey installed on iOS, it
will continue to work until it is manually uninstalled or a user gets a new
device, the company added.
The users complained that Microsoft hasn't updated the
SwiftKey app on iOS in over a year.
SwiftKey has been downloaded more than 500 million times on
Android.
The app will continue to be available and supported for
Android users.
In May, SwiftKey received its last update for Android that
made it easier to delete text and it has also added the option to disable
automatic spaces after punctuation.
Microsoft acquired SwiftKey platform, which was already one
of the most popular keyboard apps on iOS and Android, for reportedly $250
million in 2016.
SwiftKey was launched on Android in 2010 and arrived on iOS
in 2014.
The SwiftKey for iOS predictive keyboard will be delisted
from the Apple App Store as of October 5.
