Microsoft intends to conquer the iPhone keyboard by moving the one it created for Windows Phone

Are all virtual keyboards the same? No, and in that I have vast experience: whether they are proprietary keyboards of the brands or those designed by third parties. What chess move does Microsoft intend to make in the not too distant future? Migrate your Word Flow keyboard to IOS, that is, to make it available with Apple iPhones. Can it provide added value? Without a doubt, especially because of the new features of the Windows 10 mobile keyboard.

Redmon&39;s have not commented on it to the four winds, but have started their journey in a more ste althy way: sending an e-mail of test invitationto iPhone users.It seems that, before taking the final step and making it official, it is preferred to finish outlining the keyboard through a limited test to be carried out by the users themselves. Nothing would be more embarrassing than having bugs in the first final version of the application."

What does the Windows Phone Word Flow keyboard have, soon only Windows 10 mobile, in order to enhance the user experience? In our dedicated article we explain it to you in greater detail, but we could highlight the following:

• Swype-like word spelling system, pulling lines to form words.
• You can adapt the size of the keyboard, and even move it to the sides to use the phone with one hand. Very handy for iPhone 6/6S and iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus users.
• Integrated cursor to help in text editing, being very precise and slow scrolling through the characters of the words.
• Easy switching from one language to another, in order to take advantage of automatic word prediction and correction.

It is true that the IOS keyboard for iPhone needs work behind it to keep up with other much more advanced and complete solutions. Microsoft's virtual keyboard for mobiles, if properly optimized, can be a reference to follow on IOS. And Android? On Google's mobile platform the competition is really fierce and biting, but the natural move if it is well received by Apple fans would be landing on the most widespread mobile platform throughout the five continents.

At the moment there is no official confirmation of the launch in the App Store but, as the source points out and as I believe, won't have to wait long. There are certain movements that have to be performed without excessive delay.
