@siracusa Just an FYI, this keyboard may crash Messages on the Apple Watch. I have no idea how they are related, but after 2 wipes of my watch and deleting message threads, I looked at the crash log and it dawned on me to turn off the keyboard.

I've sent feedback to Elijah.

@siracusa Reinstalled and the crash went away. Now I’m going crazy.
