SwiftKey is among the very few keyboard available on the Play Store that already has support for Hindi and Hinglish languages. The other minor changes in this update include a new SSL certificate for a robust connection to SwiftKey’s backup server and a quicker installation process. With this new beta, SwiftKey is also switching to offering beta updates directly from the Play Store instead of releasing standalone APKs. You can enter the new beta group by joining this Google Group first followed by this beta program on the Play Store.
