A new flavor of the SwiftKey Cloud Beta application is now available for download for the owners of Android-based devices, namely version 4.2.0.87.

The new release arrives on smartphones and tablet PCs running under Google’s Android operating system with a brand new feature, called SwiftKey Cloud.

With this new option packed inside, the application will provide users with the possibility to easily back up all the words, phrases, and habits SwiftKey has learned, the app's developers explain.

Furthermore, it ensures that users will continue to enjoy the language data even after switching to a new handset or tablet PC.

However, the new SwiftKey Cloud Beta 4.2.0.87 comes with some other features as well, including a series of performance improvements, so as to provide users with a much better experience than before.

The release notes for the new app flavor include the following:

- Backup & Sync - The words and phrases that matter to you will now be securely backed up and seamlessly synced across your devices. If your phone or tablet gets an upgrade, or gets lost or stolen, there is no longer any need to teach SwiftKey the people, places and things you mention most as you type.

- Trending Phrases - Our technology will now analyze Twitter and other news sources to sift out the most relevant daily discussions and trending topics. Sports fixtures, news events or celebrity gossip – the things getting everyone near you talking will be captured and your predictions updated each day to ensure you have the words and phrases you need at your fingertips. It’ll launch first for US and UK English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, with support for more languages coming soon.

- Enhanced Personalization - We’re making it easier than ever for SwiftKey to learn from your writing style so you get next-word predictions and auto-corrections that are completely tailored to you. Gmail and Facebook personalization can be authorized in just one click and we’ve also added Yahoo! Mail, with more sources on the way.

Users interested in getting a taste of these enhancements should keep in mind the fact that they are only in beta at the moment, and that the app might behave unexpectedly on devices. As soon as the beta testing has ended, these features will become available as a free update (SwiftKey 4.2) to all paid users.
