What do you mean? iOS has a native swift option.

Native iOS is significantly worse than SwiftKey and doesn't support multiple languages without having to switch the keyboard constantly. In SwiftKey you can mix languages.

I'd also be very interested in SwiftKey alternatives, since MS already almost killed it once.

I have two languages defined in iOS (English and French) and the native swift keyboard recognizes which language I'm swifting in.

Pretty much what `cloogshicer` said.

I am interested in something that has support for multiple languages + swipe support.

Mate...it does not, it's not like I haven't tried. Try to set Bulgarian keyboard on the native iOS and let me know exactly what you see.

Maybe this is supported only for specific language combinations.

It is indeed supported only for some languages - you can check the link for which ones. And it's not only about recognising multiple languages, but actual functionality that it's missing. It doesn't have a Bulgarian dictionary and support for swipe in BG, which is what I need...
