Comment on Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?

Yes since when ever Swype was released.
When I got a pixel 7 pro, I was very sad to find out Swype dragon had been discontinued. The APK are still around, but I’m not sure I’m ready to root and or put a custom OS my pixel yet to get it installed.
I’ve been going back and forward between gboard and swift key. Both are orders of magnitude worse than Swype was at recognising traces for longer words. Blows my mind how Google and Microsoft still can’t build something as good as decade old Swype.

Why do you need root or custom os for a keyboard apk tho, did you meant to say it’s not supported on latest android versions?

I think so. I tried to install a few different versions and got errors saying it wasn’t able to be installed. Assume Swype was a 32 bit app, which you can’t install on pixel 7 without doing away with the stock Android.
