I switched back to stock today as well. And that's only because Swiftkey wouldn't show up for one of my apps. It does seem like the stock keyboard has gotten smarter

I'm not sure which keyboard I want to use. Lately I've been using both Apple Stock and SwiftKey trying to decide. Not quite sure which one I like better.
Anyone else having this problem?

I still have issues with autocorrect and email addresses showing when I don't want them on the stock keyboard. Very annoying. I'm sticking with SwiftKey. I have the stock deleted. That helps.

I am fine with the stock keyboard... Not sure I want a third party keyboard but that's just a bit of paranoia mixed with not feeling the need to have anything else. Luckily there are options for those who want it!

I'm sticking with the smartest keyboard, SwiftKey. How many how this option to delete non words? It really helps keeping the predictive keyboard library clear of garbage.

One keyboard i would definitely like on iOS is the Google Keyboard. Its simplicity and accurate swype-like typing is good for me. I would go for swiftkey but their emoji sections looks like a bigger pixelated images that don't attract me. I hope Google would share that keyboard on all OS platforms it design apps for.

Interesting find just now - my Gmail App updated, update supposedly to fix bugs and to disable 3rd party keyboards 'a la Chrome' due iOS 9 bugs - however, and the good news is, my SwiftKey still works just fine. Leaves me wondering if the fact that I have deleted the stock keyboard it allows SwiftKey to run (??).... This applies to both my iPhone and iPad, on iOS 9.2...... My earlier deletion of the stock keyboard is also not an issue for passwords entry as it seems to bring it back up anyway, even though my keyboards selection in Settings remains only SwiftKey and Emoji... I'm relieved but a bit puzzled...

Why would they want to disable 3rd party keyboards? How do they hurt the Gmail app?
Never mind, they say it caused crashes. But how would they know it was keyboards? I don't know if I buy that.

I haven't found a third party keyboard that's smarter than SwiftKey...it's even smarter than the Apple keyboard...
