Swiftkey catches up: Try a revamped icon and offer the option to choose Google as your search engine

Talking about keyboards on Android and also on iOS almost inevitably refers to SwiftKey. An application in constant development thanks to continuous improvements that even has the option to become a beta tester of the popular app through Google Play or the App Store . For many, the main keyboard, if it weren't because the one created by Google is getting higher and higher.

Swiftkey is part of Microsoft Both walk together since the first one became part of Microsoft.Since then, the SwiftKey developers have continued to improve their app, being for many one of the fetish applications to install when they change phones. A utility that is now updated again on Android in its Beta version with several improvements

Google, the chosen one

The first of the novelties and perhaps the most striking, is that now we can choose in SwiftKey that Google be the search engine chosen by default to carry out our searches. They tell it in Winfuture. In this way, it complements the possibilities offered until now by Bing, the alternative owned by Microsoft. Now users choose which alternative to use

"

If you want to change the search engine, you only have to access the Configuration section and enter the Search engine in the Writing section. We find the two options mentioned above, among which we must choose one of them."

The option to choose Google as your search engine is only available to those using the Beta version of Swiftkey. You can download it at the link that appears at the end of the article.

A renewed icon

In addition, and as they say in Neowin, Swiftkey receives an aesthetic improvement, as now it is integrated into the same design language as Microsoft is being implemented thanks to Office and we already saw how it also reached Your Phone (Your Phone).

With a look that's now more minimalist, Microsoft is testing two SwiftKey logos. On the one hand, one with the classic colors of the icon that we all know together with another completely blue. Apparently it depends on the country in which the Google Play app store that we access is located.
