You can install gboard on iOS - I haven't used the default keyboard in years

It's abandoned and buggy. I'm surprised google hasn't just removed it from the store. I suspect as soon as it actually requires an update because of a change in the OS it will disappear.

Yes, I loved it, but it crashed in too many apps and I had to switch to the Apple one :(

Unfortunately, it's simply not as good. I miss long-press punctuation so much.

This 1000x over! On Android you have this and you can tune how long a long-press is. It's amazing and should be an advanced feature on iOS.

I wish Apple would get over itself and expose settings for all-the-things, like how you can write default finder settings on macOS using the terminal.

		Yes! I miss it very much. When I was on Android, I used to have it set to 100ms. I used to very quickly send well-punctuated text. On iPhones, it seems like the digitizer has 100ms of hysteresis built in. now i just Lettuce my iPhone sden whatever it wants with no punctuation its not real good Unfortunately, MacOS doesn't have settings (which I am told it had) for animation scales, like Androids have. The interface is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

Yeah I tried it and it doesn't stand up to it on Android in my experience. I figured I'd rather not give Google any data if the experience isn't going to be the same.

That buggy abandonware that hasn't been updated in 3 years?
