Apple added a niggling bar of suggestions to the transcend of the keyboard, which Android had (initially equally an option) since the introduction of the on-screen keyboard inward Android 1.5. While Android's keyboard only blindly does discussion pairs, iOS 8 seems to live able to intelligently offering suggestions inward answer to an "A" or "B" question. In the example, a friend asks close "dinner or a movie." Without typing anything, iOS offers "A movie," "Dinner," in addition to "Not Sure." If this genuinely industrial plant reliably, it's a big footstep inward a higher house the Android keyboard. Of course, we're only comparison this to the standard Google Keyboardavailable through Google Play. That's non the only typing solution on Android, which brings us to...

Apple live on relinquished its traveling pocket on the arrangement keyboard, allowing 3rd parties to supersede Apple's solution amongst something of their own. This was roughly other affair Android had amongst its initial implementation of on-screen typing inward Android 1.5. Apple fifty-fifty showed off an iOS version of Swype, 1 of the most pop third-party Android keyboards. We've already heard from Swiftkey, the other most pop Android keyboard, that it is working on a system-wide iOS 8 version, too.

Until now, third-party iOS keyboards could only operate equally a standalone app amongst their ain typing interface. For instance, Fleksy could only operate inward the Flexy app, non inward whatever other app. Fleksy made a workaround for this amongst an API that other apps could plug inward to, but this required developers to add together back upwards on an app past times app basis. (Fleksy has also announced that it volition live adapting its keyboard to role Apple's novel APIs.)
