      Why? Useful for safety and security of the society?

      Edit: Why downvotes? I’m trying to put myself in their shoes, it’s not how I view it lol

        Comes with a built in translator and spell checker, and since access to Google translate is blocked, that’s often the only alternative.

        Some weird downvotes, and I want to know too. Why does a keyboard app mean anything to anyone? The keyboards included on iOS and latest Android versions are great.

          Don’t know about this keyboard or Chinese, but a language specific feature might be one of the reason.

          I use SwiftKey and I love how it supports multilingual autocorrect and prediction for Indonesian and English without needing to switch between keyboard language.

          iOS built in keyboard supports multilingual typing for some languages, but not Indonesian.

          I assume people love it also because some specific feature that doesn’t exist in the stock keyboard.
