Microsoft will discontinue Swiftkey on iOS from October 5 this year

It is interesting to note that the iOS version of Swiftkey hasn’t been updated in over a year. A few months ago, a Reddit thread was making rounds on the internet when an user complained about the lack of updates to the Swiftkey iOS app.

While asked why Microsoft had decided to abandon the iOS version of Swiftkey, Wolfe declined to comment. However, he did say that they are focusing on the Android version of the app.

In case you are unaware, Microsoft bought Swiftkey when it was on an acquisition spree in 2016. Back then, Microsoft had claimed that the keyboard was installed on more than 300 million devices. In 2012, Swiftkey was also the best-selling app on Google’s Play Store.
