Popular Android keyboard replacement Swiftkey received a major update today. If you’ve noticed some lag using the keyboard, that’s all fixed now.
Both traditional typing and Swiftkey’s Flow gesture typing have been sped up. I’ve been using the keyboard for years now, and there’s always been a slight (but still annoying) lag when typing quickly. That lag has been eliminated in this latest update. Flow now offers better prediction and finger tracking too.
The update also brings bug fixes for random crashes, disappearing backgrounds for certain themes, and more.
If you haven’t tried Swiftkey yet, you can get it for free at the download link below. Themes are 33% off for a limited time.
