Typing on Android was perfect when Swype was still around. GBoard and SwiftKey were worse and seem to actually decline in accuracy till this day.

Swype was the best. Google should buy it and release it as the new version of Gboard

Swype was acquired by Nuance which was acquired by Microsoft. Its competitor, SwiftKey, was also acquired by Microsoft.

I reset my gboard training data every 6-12 months since if I don't it seems to steadily get worse.
