Unable to switch keyboards on my iPhone 13 Pro since updating iOS

Hi, i have a iphone 13 pro and its updated to the latest software, 17.xx or something like that as of today. I have a swiftkey that I have been using for years with the no issues and recently seems to have switching keyboards problem. It reverts to the original Apple (pre dinosaur with no predictive text) keyboard and its hugely irritating as it doesnt correct wrong letters. I have done the following in any combination orders:

Uninstalled/installed swiftkey
placed swiftkey on the highest order in keyboard
Reset/restart the phone after 1 and 2
Deleted all other keyboards
Read all possible forums
Reset/restart the phone after 1/2/3/4
Keep praying after item 1/2/3/4/5/6.

Its driving me crazy. Looks like i maybe forced to switch to Samsung android if it continues. Its not efficient to be typing this slow. Any help from the community or Apple here?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

No other texting/jeyboard options are available. Swift key, board, etc. even when each had successfully added. Click on the globe to switch boards but there’s nothing there except the default version. So frustrating!

If you can describe how you did this on an iOS default keyboard may help many in this forum. Did you Jailbreak your device, if yes you are in a big soup.

Yeah it happens in all hence it's so frustrating. It goes to SwiftKey for like 10 secs before it reverts to a ore dinosaur phone. Anyway I sold of the phone already, but hopefully someone from Apple reads this.
