SwiftKey Keyboard app for Android has received an update that brings
several new features including a revamped emoji panel. The updated
SwiftKey Android app is now available to download/ update via Google
Play.
The
update to SwiftKey app
primarily brings a redesigned emoji panel, apart from new light and dark
themed emoji panels. It also adds double-word prediction and offers two
free new festive holiday themes for all users. The emoji panel will now
also remember the last used category for user convenience.
The
on-screen keyboard app in its changelog claims that the update improves
typing performance when changing screen orientation. The update also
brings fixes for vibration settings and claims it won't change on
upgrade. Another fix comes for improved flow and predictions from
characters accessed with shift key for Indic and South Eastern Asian
languages.
The update also adds support for Pinyin, a phonetic system for
transcribing the Mandarin pronunciations of Chinese characters into the
Latin alphabet used in China, Taiwan, and Singapore.SwiftKey claims to have over 250 million users.
The
keyboard app was under fire earlier this year when a mobile security
company claimed that a SwiftKey keyboard flaw could allow an attacker to
remotely access sensors (including features such as GPS, camera, and
microphone); secretly install malicious app without the user knowing and
fiddle with how other apps function, or how the smartphone worked. The
security flaw could also allow an attacker to eavesdrop on incoming/
outgoing messages or voice calls while could allow access to personal
data such as images and text messages. SwiftKey in an emailed statement to Gadgets 360 had defended itself saying that the app
available on Google Play and App Store had no such security flaw.
