Microsoft seems to be thinking of removing the SwiftKey keyboard from Windows 10. The company appears to have started to lay the groundwork for it by removing SwiftKey from the Windows 10 20H1 Version 2004.
While the reason behind the removal is unknown, it’ll mainly affect Windows 10 tablet users. The SwiftKey removal, however, doesn’t mean the Windows 10 won’t have a touch keyboard interface — it’s just that the keyboard won’t be powered by SwiftKey. Nevertheless, since there is no official statement from Microsoft regarding the removal, nothing can be said with the utmost certainty.
SwiftKey is one of the best keyboard apps available on Android and iOS. The app recently crossed the 500 million installations on the Google Play Store — which is indeed a feather in the cap!
If the removal turns out to be true, it’ll be interesting to see what alternatives Microsoft provides the Windows 10 tablet users. We also expect Microsoft to let the users know about the change well before it introduces the Windows 10 20H1 update to the public.
