Why IOS Keyboards Are Worse Than Their Android Equivalents
When Apple announced iOS 8 at WWDC earlier this year, I actually got very excited for an iOS update for the first time … possibly ever.
I use iOS daily and, despite popular belief, I don’t hate it. However, for the last few years, iOS has been a bore, and it’s been a little behind the curve, particularly in the ability to share information between apps, or interoperability. This stemmed from a call it, and sandboxed applications. Apple only officially allowed cross-application sharing between a few, select applications, like its own Messages and Mail apps or Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr.
With iOS 8, Apple introduced Extensibility, a set of APIs which give third-party developers the ability to integrate their respective apps with iOS more deeply. Many third-party applications are now sharing options in Safari, Chrome, Photos, Dropbox, and anywhere else of Extensibility for sharing.
That said, third-parditor, third-party widgets in the Today view of Notification Center, and, most importantly, third-party keyboards.
On iOS 8 launch day, just two days before Apple’s new iPhones arrived, popular third-party keyboards from the Android platform went live in the App Store. I immediately downloaded SwiftKey, Swype, and Minuum, three keyboards I have used off and on since their respective launches, three of my goto keyboards on Android.
to realize some pretty major differences, however, like number and symbol previews in the default keyboard view. On Android, both SwiftKey and Swype show number previews on the top row of letter keys and symbol previews on the rest of the letter keys. miniature keyboard layout. Long-pressing (rather than just sloppily tapping) will allow you to precisely select a specific letter, while pressing then sliding upwards will let you choose a number or symbol.
In other words, on Android, all of these third-party keyboards offer significant advantages over the stock Google Keyboard. Developers have gotten creative and found ways to truly make text input on pocket-sized screens less … infuriating and more intuitive.
For some reason, though, their iOS counterparts are not nearly as useful. That’s not to say they’re horrible, but they’re definitely dumbed-down versions of the Android keyboards.
At first, I chalked this up to the keyboards being so new, Unfortunately, there is still no way to insert specific letters from the miniature view. Instead, you have to drag the keyboard upwards to expand to the full view and type as you would on a normal QWERTY.
