About Swiftkey: Bing AI is coming to smartphones from Samsung and other manufacturers

Microsoft is bringing its Bing AI chatbot to all Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Anyone using the Swiftkey keyboard on another smartphone will also be able to enjoy it.

Samsung and Microsoft have been working together for some time. This can be seen in the numerous pre-installed apps and services from the US company on Galaxy smartphones. What is less obvious is that the Swiftkey keyboard also belongs to Microsoft. The Windows manufacturer is now using it to bring its Bing AI chatbot to all Galaxy smartphones. If you use Swiftkey on a smartphone from another manufacturer, Bing AI is also available to you.

Bing AI for everyone with Swiftkey

On Twitter Swiftkey announces that it is bringing Bing AI to Samsung smartphones. On devices from other manufacturers, the chatbot has been available in some cases since mid-April.

To use Bing AI, you need to be logged in to Swiftkey (Android/iOS). The chatbot will not become active on your smartphone all by itself. Once you have completed the waiting list, which is no longer a waiting list, the chatbot opens in a new window after clicking on "Chat". The search field on the keyboard is too small for it.

If you don't want to use Bing AI, you have two options: You don't log in to Swiftkey. Or you can use a different keyboard. This is also possible with Samsung smartphones. For example withGboard, the keyboard from Google. This in turn is the standard keyboard on many Android devices from other manufacturers.

Rumours about cooperation on the search engine

The cooperation between Samsung and Microsoft could become even closer. There are reports that Samsung is considering ending its 3 billion deal with Google. Bing would then replace Google search as the new default search engine on Galaxy devices.
