Vishnu Nath, the Vice President & General Manger of the Office Product Group and SwiftKey, explained on Twitter, that SwiftKey Keyboard 2.9.4 includes a fix for the Microsoft account bug. This meant that you could not sync your dictionary to the cloud, so you could lose access to your data. If you read my previous coverage, you may be aware that SwiftKey was not allowing users to log in to their account. Jokes aside, I was curious to see what bugs the update has fixed. This has become a meme, why do developers even bother including a release note like that? Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard fixes sign in issue on iOS The change log for the update is not very descriptive, it just mentions that the latest version contains 'Bug fixes and performance improvements'. SwiftKey for iOS version 2.9.4 is now available on the iOS App Store. Microsoft's executives who are in charge of SwiftKey reassured users that they would continue supporting the app, and told them to expect an update in the future. To be precise, the previous version of SwiftKey, which was 2.9.2, rolled out to users on 11th August 2021. However, the restored version on the App Store was not exactly up to the standard that users had anticipated, as it was still the buggy one that was released more than a year ago. A few weeks ago, Microsoft finally acknowledged that based on popular demand that it received from users, it was bringing SwiftKey back from the dead.

So it wasn't exactly a surprise to see SwiftKey's users request the software giant to restore their favorite keyboard app back on Apple's storefront. Google's Gboard app for iOS isn't particularly impressive either.

This also meant that users were stuck with Apple's default iOS keyboard, and I'm not going to mince words when I say that the app is hot garbage when it comes to predicting text and autocorrecting typos. True to its word, the Redmond company pulled the plug on it by delisting it from the App Store, and thus prevented it from being downloaded on new devices or fresh installations of iOS and iPadOS. There was some drama surrounding the popular keyboard app in October, when Microsoft announced that it would end support for SwiftKey on iOS. SwiftKey for iOS updated to version 2.9.4
