Microsoft SwiftKey rolling out new Bing AI features to Samsung devices
Microsoft announced its Android keyboard app – SwiftKey is bringing new Bing AI features to Samsung Galaxy devices. This specific feature rollout announcement by the Windows maker shows its close hidden collaboration with Samsung.
Recently, Google went into panic mode after getting it known that Samsung is considering making Bing a default search engine on Galaxy devices. However, both OEMs later signed a new agreement and are working on it, keeping Google search default on Galaxies.
However, it’s not a normal thing that Microsoft is making specific announcements about the SwiftKey Bing AI features rollout for “Samsung users.” The war of AI has already begun with the rapid spread of ChatGPT chatbot, and now heating up to land on mobile phones as a native feature.
“We are rolling out the new Bing AI features to the Samsung users. Look for the new update (Android v9.10.11.10) in the next days,” Tweeted SwiftKey.
SwiftKey with Bing AI features
Bing integrates in three major ways – Search, Chat, and Tone.
With Search, you can quickly search the web from your keyboard, without switching apps. This can help while you’re talking to a friend and mid-conversation, you want to look up relevant information like the weather, restaurants near you, or stock prices.
With the new Tone feature, you can communicate more effectively by using AI to customize your in-progress text to fit any situation. This new addition makes your words sound more professional, casual, polite, or concise enough for a social post.
SwiftKey app’s Chat feature allows you to access the new Bing on the go for more detailed queries. It can help if everybody’s cracking jokes in the chat and you need a clever pun, or you’re new to the area and are texting some new friends to propose a good local restaurant.
MS SwiftKey
SwiftKey has been part of the Microsoft family since 2016. It has millions of users around the world who love it for its AI-powered predictive text technology, which makes texting without typos easier, even when you’re in a rush or multitasking.
Upon download, SwiftKey lets you set it as your default keyboard on both iOS and Android (the app includes easy-to-follow instructions to help you get there in just a few steps), so you can access it across all your favorite apps, from email apps to social media and more. SwiftKey lets you choose up to five languages to integrate into your keyboard.

Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.
Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.
The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.
These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
