Status of an update to SwiftKey for iOS to support Windows 10's cloud-synced clipboard
PlaneadaHi.
Windows 10 October 2018 Update is going to be finished later this month and released, then released to the public officially in October 2018. The cloud-synced clipboard functionality of Windows 10 October 2018 Update will supposedly work on mobile iOS and Android devices via the SwiftKey keyboard. My understanding is a SwiftKey keyboard for Android is already in beta testing which includes the cloud-synced clipboard functionality to go along with the functionality in Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
What is the status of a SwiftKey for iOS beta to add the cloud-synced clipboard functionality?
Thank you for the feedback.

I am also very much waiting for this cloud clipboard functionality to come to SwiftKey on iOS. I can't wait to test it as well.
It's planned, but we cannot give an official release date. We will make some noise when it goes live, I'm sure.
@Ryan any update on this?
Hi, everyone.
I did a SwiftKey beta feedback report back on April 12, 2019 asking about the status. On May 20, 2019 (yes, over a month later), I received a response with the following information:
To say that I'm not impressed with the very late response is an understatement. Of course, I am disappointed and Microsoft has totally screwed this up. Being able to copy/cut and paste across Windows 10 devices is nice, but being able to do it across Windows 10 and iOS and Android devices is more useful to me. Yet, it is beginning to look like the Cloud Clipboard functionality is dying or not really going anywhere.

Timeline & Cloud Clipboard seem essentially to the new MSFT strategy. Instead of being the OS for every computer they intend to be the services relied upon by all computers.
I'm clearly wrong because Swiftkey should have had Cloud Clipboard before it was released for Windows. Why? Because adding a feature to Swiftkey is 1000x easier than adding one to Windows.
