I'm an iOS user and prefer the swipe input implementation in GBoard over the one in the native keyboard. I'm not sure what the differences are, but GBoard just seems to overall make fewer mistakes and do a better job correcting itself from context.
As I was reading Andrew's comment to myself, I was trying to figure out when and why I stopped using swype typing on my phone. Then it hit me – I stopped after I switched from Android to iOS a few years ago. Something about the iOS implementation just doesn't feel right.
Apple's version is shit. Period. That's why.
But you can install other keyboards like SwiftKey or Gboard which are closer to what you are used to on Android.
My only issue is that no keyboard implementation really supports more than two languages which makes me switch back to plain qwerty with autocomplete all the time.

Have you tried the native keyboard since iOS 17? It’s quite a lot better than older versions.
