A few weeks ago, the SwiftKey team released the first beta of SwiftKey 4.3 – Layouts for Living. Today, the team has released the final version of the update on the Play Store as a free upgrade for existing users. Among the major changes included in the update are three new layouts – Compact, Thumb and Full – for quick and easier typing. The full change-log of the update are as follows -:

Choose from 5 sizes to get your keyboard the perfect size for you

Undock your keyboard and position it where you choose on your screen

Rearranged and optimized secondary (123) and tertiary (symbols) layout, based on extensive user testing

A new theme: previously SwiftKey and SwiftKey Tablet had two different themes called “Dark”. Both are now available on phones and tablets, with the tablet “Dark” renamed as “Forest”

Extended layout for tablets, including left and right cursor keys

All 4 cursor keys (up, down, left, right) are now available on the secondary (123) layout on tablets – phone users can still choose to have cursor keys on the main layout

10-inch tablets can choose to have a central numpad in the thumb layout in landscape

Combined phone and tablet app to give a seamless experience across all device sizes
