    The one feature that may pull me from Swiftkey. Although i feel like its auto correct and predict are unbeatable somehow for the huge mistakes i make.

      GBoard is only fine if you live in US and speak no other languages :)

      It doesn’t support automatic space addition after punctuation outside of English, doesn’t support combined keyboard layouts (writing thos from a combined de/en layout on SwiftKey).

        This is why I use SwiftKey. Being to type in English while keeping my Spanish keyboard is a godsend

          I have been using a French/English layout with Gboard for a long time without any problems. The text prediction algorithms even support me changing language in the middle of a phrase. It’s been so long since I used SwiftKey, but I think the swipe + multi-lingual support was the reason I initially switched back to Gboard when they added swipe support…
