Why is Swiftkey so much worse on iOS compared to Android
I've been using Swiftkey on Android since they days when you had to pay for it. Recently my job forced me to switch over to an iphone. The difference between the 2 versions is tremendous. Autocorrect works a lot more poorly but the main gripe I have is that you can't hold down a letter key to get every accent mark associated with it. Is there a reason for this? I continue to still use swiftkey since I'm used to the punctuation placement, but just seems weird that it works so poorly in iOS

I noticed the same thing. Used SwiftKey without issue for years on Android; now on iOS and see bugs every day.
couldn't agree more, also see other keyboards coming in with the missing features like haptic feedback and a number row. they're no threat to SwiftKey for now but I hope SwiftKey take note and bring the ios app up to match the android one.
I agree with Nick and John! This was the very reason that I came into this forum today... Looking for knowledge on how to activate the long press options on my iOS SwiftKey keyboard. I get so darn sick of switching pages back and forth in order to enter passwords and just enter texts. Try typing these for fun and see if you agree:
iPhone 4 was the only one that used the micro. 1 through 3 used the original. 5 through X use the Nano.
Or this one:
The 8, 8+, and X have the latest A11 chipset.
Both of those were actual texts to a friend of mine.
Anyway, I still love SwiftKey and I also believe the lack of long presses absolutely must be an iOS thing but maybe SwiftKey can convince apple to allow for the change.
Thank you for your time,
Jeff
No one has mentioned haptic feedback for normal key presses.
Same here. Huge disappointment.
