Input keyboards are randomly changing

I have an iPhone 12, purchased new, and since the latest update, IOS 26.2, every time I open the keyboard to input anything, my primary keyboard of choice ( Swift key ) that I have been using without problems so far, gets uncontrollably replaced by another one. I tried restarting the phone, removing the other keyboard, and making sure the one I want is on top of the other, no chance. It's such a waste of time, trying to use it while battling with the other one back and forth. Anyone else having the same issue? Any advice? Thank you

I tried now what I didn't do earlier, disinstalled the Swift key keyboard and reinstalled it again, and it seems to be okay for now. I'll wait and see if it holds and update.

I would reach out to the swift developer team and notify them of the issue. It sounds as if they need to update their applications so that it is optimized for iOS 26.2.

Ask the people who make SwiftKey, they may need to tweak their code for the new iOS version.

Nah, it was only temporary, it started switching again of its own volition :(
