As SwiftKey moves to Version 7.7.1.8 on Android, there is not much in the way of new features. However, the app developers are focusing this update on making some improvements. For example, the Handwriting tool is now better than before. Specifically, Microsoft says there are now smoother Handwriting trails, while input performance is boosted. Elsewhere in the update, a couple of bugs affecting SwiftKey have been squashed. The first is a problem that was causing app crashes in large Clipboards. The second is a bug in Arabic 123 layouts. You can check out the full changelog for SwiftKey Version 7.7.1.8 below:
