Even though\u00a0SwiftKey organizers have guaranteed that SwiftKey will keep on working for Android &amp; iOS users, we are not exactly sure because Microsoft has acquired quite a few services in the current past and have folded them into its own services. Microsoft too says that they plan coordinating their impressive Word Flow technology to SwiftKey however we expect the company to use SwiftKey\u2019s AI skills into its different items like Cortana.
