Is Swype Keyboard separate from feature on Samsung keyboard?

This just came to my attention.

Does this affect use of Swype on the Samsung keyboard?

Probably, but Samsung might integrate their own Swype like feature on Samsung keyboard in future updates.

i hope so. I've used Swype for a long time. I'm using Google voice type more now but still rely on Swype a lot. As long as they don't integrate it into Bixby because i don't plan on activating it. It's access needed and permissions are scary intrusive.

pretty sure Samsung won't let this disappear as lots of Samsung users really enjoy Swype. They will for sure integrate their own Swype if anything so not too worry guys :)

aww crap, I've been using Swype since the S2 hd...looks like I'll have to get used to another keyboard at a later time
