Swiftkey is very good at predictive texting. Saved keystrokes means your message will get sent out faster. However, if your phone is an aging device with loads of contacts, patience will be tested.

What do you mean patience will be tested on aging device?

Go to Settings > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard. Choose Simplified/ Traditional Chinese & input methods. You can even use handwriting...

Swiftkey is winner for iOS hands down.

Next Keyboard will be releasing soon but from their beta, it has a long way to go in terms of predictions and smooth swipe typing.

For Chinese typing is the same as Android's SwiftKey. Not supported, have to use the default Chinese keyboard which is very good imo even with handwriting feature

To switch keyboards is much easier than on Android too.

On SwiftKey you can choose to use Emoji button or Keyboard button on settings, if you choose the former you can access the keyboard settings by holding onto the Emoji button, vice versa for if you choose the keyboard button, hold it and it will go to emoji.
