Apps like Gboard have this and the option to transfer your data to a new device.Google’s Gboard is probably the Android keyboard to beat. What makes it great? It has a lot of Google-y features built in, such as Google Translate. The swipe-to-type feature is not an exclusive feature with Swiftkey. SwiftKey requires Android 5.0 and above for use. That way, when you change your phone, you have your typing history at the ready. Other options have a cloud-based save system to keep all of this information available. This forces you to provide input about your typing style again, when you change your device. While the app does a good job of saving predictive data to improve your experience over time, the function to transfer this to a new phone doesn’t work. Where other keyboard apps have an option to disable this, Swiftkey is stuck with it.

One of the biggest sticking points is the auto-spacing you can’t turn off automatic spacing after punctuation, which can break your flow and requires time to go back and edit your text. The customization for typing is limited, though. There are hundreds of different styles to choose from. Presentation changes are fantastic in this app. You can adjust the size and positioning of the keyboard and some buttons, and add themes to change the appearance. This makes typing faster, as the keyboard can accurately predict your next move.

It also learns from your typing style and adjusts accordingly.

Once installed, this app can be used as your default keyboard wherever you are typing. SwiftKey adapts to your writing style and preferences in almost every way imaginable.
