Microsoft has updated the SwiftKey Keyboard with version 7.9.0.5. Once the latest version is installed, users will be able to copy text to their Android smartphone or tablet clipboard and paste it on their Windows PC and vice versa. To use the latest functionality, SwiftKey should be set as the primary keyboard on Android. The Cloud Clipboard feature was earlier available in the beta version.
