My iPhone's Keyboard Dilemma: Swift Keyboard Keeps Surrendering to Apple's Default

Hey everyone,

I've been having a problem with my iPhone for six months now, and I'm wondering if anyone else is dealing with the same thing. After I updated my software, my Swift keyboard keeps getting replaced by the default Apple keyboard.

No matter how many times I switch back to Swift, my iPhone keeps going back to the Apple keyboard. I've tried messing with the settings, like turning off the English keyboard, but nothing works. It's really annoying when I'm typing and suddenly my keyboard changes.

I made this video to show what's happening. Even when I switch back to Swift, it switches back to Apple.

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

iPhones and iPads with iOS 13 and later now offer QuickPath, a handy swipe-to-type feature that lets you enter text faster and more conveniently.

I have made this GIF on iPhone SE and tested it for YouTube, Safari, Apple Music, Instagram, Notes, iOS mail app

Keep an eye on the predictive text and another eye on the keyboard QuickPath (Swift Key) movement trail. Swift Key is called Quick Path in iPhone and iPad devices.

You need to contact the people who make SwiftKey, they are responsible for making it work right, it may need to be updated. Note that 3rd party keyboards normally cannot be used in password type fields.

No, SwiftKey is a 3rd party keyboard offered by MS. That is what is not working right for Keyframerr.
