If you have the app installed I would suggest turning off auto-update from the store so that you can keep the keyboard as-is before Microsoft starts meddling with it.

Eh. Microsoft hasn't really messed up the previous Android apps they have bought. I feel people have more issues with all data going to Microsoft now.

  They've made it clear they want to be a viable presence on Android. Ruining an app like SwiftKey isn't in their best interest. But hating on Microsoft is still popular for some people.

    Yea I'm an irrational "hater". I'll just leave this here http://appadvice.com/appnn/2015/10/microsoft-announces-plans-to-discontinue-the-popular-sunrise-calendar-app http://appadvice.com/appnn/2015/10/microsoft-announces-plans... You never know what these giant companies will do. But whatever, it was just a suggestion. I don't care if you install the new Microsoft Swiftkey updates.

      That's not really evidence of your rationality, if that's what you were hoping to prove.

      i thought MSFT was merging in Sunrise features into Outlook, which I find to be terrific on iOS for mail and calendar

    Yeah the forced Windows 10 adoption despite being a bag of dicks plus added telemetry practices with dark patterns make them a very well suited buyer for an app which can collect all typed data on your smartphone.

I just did the same, but the problem is that (I only suspect here without research) the keyboard calls home every so often so your data isn't yours anymore. I am now searching for a new keyboard...
