Given that Microsoft sees Windows 10 as more of a service than an OS, and has been trying to increase its presence on iOS and Android, the rollout of the Windows Phone keyboard to iOS appears to be in line with the overall strategy of the company. The Redmond based software major recently rolled out its virtual assistant app, Cortana on Android and iOS. For instance, the Outlook app is undoubtedly the best email app on iPhone, and the most downloaded Sunrise Calendar is a Microsoft property.
Some of Microsoft’s apps have definitely worked well across platforms. Microsoft will make its Word Flow keyboard for iOS public in the coming months, and the keyboard will make its way to Android later this year, adds the report. It will work on each side allowing use of either hand to swipe letters. While Windows Phone version shifts to either side to create a small keyboard, the iOS version uses a fanned layout. Microsoft’s Word Flow keyboard for iOS will feature a one-handed mode, that is different from the Windows Phone version.
