Japanese keyboard in iOS version
AnsweredDear SwiftKey team,
Currently Im using SwiftKey keyboard on my iPhone, Russian and English keyboards and very happy with it. Thank you for your product, so much time saved!
Also, I used to have a phone with Android OS and used to have Japanese keyboard in SwiftKey.
I wonder if you have a plans to bring Japanese keyboard in to iOS version or it will remain "for Android only"?
Best regards,
Vlad

Hello,
I think the reason why languages like Japanese or Chinese isn't available on iOS because, we don't have many active users on iOS, plus there's really small number of users who requires Japanese and Chinese.
Native speaker using iOS keyboard, and it's better built for them. That's the feedback I received.
Meanwhile, you can use SwiftKey for Russian and English and use Japanese from iOS keyboard. Then change the emoji key to language switch key in SwiftKey settings. So that you can switch languages seamlessly.

I'm actually hoping for the same thing. I do understand that using the Japanese iOS keyboard would work, however switching between two different keyboards and input method feels awkward. I would really love Japanese support for iOS SwiftKey.
Especially if Android already has this feature.
My friends and I are coming from Hong Kong, and we all do wish to have Chinese input supported by the SwiftKey. I am not sure how your team find out "there's really small number of users who requires Japanese and Chinese", but I can tell you many people feel disappointed when they find out the iOS version of SwiftKey does not support Chinese and Japanese after they migrate from Android to iOS.
