Yeah first thing I do on a new iOS install is install SwiftKey.

I recommend using Gboard on iOS. SwiftKey never felt quite as good.

Thanks, I will give that a try. I've always been pretty happy with SwiftKey but I'm game to try something else that is reputed to be better.

It would be so cool if Apple would provide swyping in an own keyboard. Maybe a "Siri-Keyboard".
