I used to be able to swipe freely on SwiftKey, and now I can't really do it without being extra careful and mindful of not spelling the wrong thing. Idk what Microsoft did to the product but I wouldn't call it an improvement.
I think the article we're looking at here isn't really hyperbolic. They got AI to write all their code and broke the Keyboard.
Just FYI, if you can live without swipping, I recommend FUTO keyboard., it is basically Swiftkey but it actually works and doesn't come with Microsoft's spyware built in.
It's what I use now, and I'm really happy. Don't be fooled by it being in Alpha, because it works flawlessly (minus the swipe, which is hit and miss).
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out
