SwiftKey is FREE, but it's need "Allow Full Access" in iOS.
They can trace your info like email, location, address....
There's even a SwiftKey forum. And for those disappointed that SwiftKey did not include the ethnic emoji, it's coming. Was not their fault.

My thoughts? It's a matter of personal preference. The inconsistencies between when a 3rd party keyboard is and is not allowed makes the whole 3rd party keyboard a non-starter for me. I am used to the stock keyboard, it works for me, so that is my preference.
Because it is a personal use issue, your opinion may be different. Not correct. Not incorrect. Just your choice.
You obviously don't have the frustrating issues with the stock keyboard that I have. I can't type a paragraph without an email address popping up in autocorrect. I deleted all my shortcuts and made new ones more difficult to accidentally pull up. I reset the keyboard dictionary in settings. They still show up. And the dark theme is easier for me to read with SwiftKey. I wish the stock keyboard worked for me.
I have to admit that I don't have these issues. Have you considered resetting the keyboard dictionary? Of course, it might be "too nuclear" of a solution for your needs.
Settings > General > Reset
Tap on Reset Keyboard Dictionary
Tap on Reset
Of course, this wipes out all of the customizations that you have added over time.
this seems like a must when I finally make the jump over to the dark side.
It is definitely getting there. Not on par with Android yet. But it gets better and more stable with each update.
Depend on your just, I'm not. Apple already alerted it.That's not an issue. They can't function without full access. I have no problem trusting these 3rd party keyboard developers. It does revert to the stock keyboard for passwords. So then you have to trust someone at Apple. LOL! I have given more than 60 apps access to my photos. 6 apps have access to my contacts. 7 have access to my microphone. I don't worry about them and I don't worry about SwiftKey or any other keyboard I use. I use 3.

All the 3rd party keyboards have that. Apple also puts out other notices for other uses like the microphone. It's not a big deal. I trust SwiftKey just as much as I trust Apple.

Swiftkey is quite a large company that has been doing this for a while. They have affiliations with many big names in tech. I am not sure what peoples issue is. Paranoid I guess. To each their own.
That notice Apple posted looks scary to them.

I know. People need to realize "can" and "will" are very different. One backed up account of Swiftkey stealing peoples info with bad intentions could tank the whole company. Why risk it?
