Recently, Bing AI was integrated into SwiftKey, allowing users of the software keyboard instant access to Microsoft’s chatbot. However, the OpenAI-based search tool is currently being automatically installed on almost all current Samsung Galaxy devices, according to SamMobile.
Although, Samsung Galaxy devices are known to make use of their own One UI Android launcher, which has a SwiftKey keyboard built right in. This indicates that Microsoft’s Bing AI is deliberately sliding into Galaxies. Users who went to try rival Google’s Bard on Edge browser were also barged by Microsoft last week.
Yesterday, Microsoft announced the SwiftKey upgrade on Twitter and promised that Samsung users would receive the new version, 9.10.11.10, “in the next few days.” Since mid-April, SwiftKey users have been receiving the new Bing AI feature, including on the recently updated iOS version.
Of course, Galaxy users may bypass Bing AI by switching to Samsung’s primary and default Samsung Keyboard if they don’t want it to be integrated into their swiping keyboard. By heading to Settings > Languages and Input > On-Screen Keyboard on Android, users can switch between keyboards. However, even if you switch keyboards, Bing might still be around for Galaxy users to use. According to reports, Samsung might reconsider its $3 billion contract with Google to make Bing its new default search engine.
