I like the flow and I like gestures. Gestures have an option to delete by swiping to the left ⬅, and to hide keyboard by sweeping down ⬇, but I'd like to see a feature where we could move pointer, just by sliding our finger on the keyboard.

Hi,

I'm struggling here to transfer from my Samsung 6 to the new Samsung 8 with all my predictions from the old phone.  First I did a backup sync on my old phone, and then did a backup sync on my new S8.  Nothing happened. Do I need to delete the app on my old phone?  Dose anyone have an answer.

I will say that the tech support is very weak in regards to the response time, and information.  I'm surprised being a Microsoft owned product  that they don't offer better support as I have been waiting more than three days for my answer.

Thanks for your response

How can I disable the multilingual prediction feature (bug).

It is unwanted, uncalled fore, unnecessary, useless, counterproductive, counter-intuitive, and annoying.

Otherwise your app is awesome, until the next update (which hopefully will get rid of this feature) I will be switching to another keyboard, which is a shame.

 I would like to know if it is possible to see my personal dictionary. I want to see all the learned words so that I can delete the ones that don't want. Thank you

I updated my app and there is a change I do not like. It used to be that you would long press the enter key to get the Emoji menu.

On pages like Facebook and Reddit, whenever I hit the enter key it immediately brings up the Emojis. I have to long press to hit enter.

It is not doing it here. When I hit enter it enters the new line. It seems to be limited to social media. The only other option I have seen is to have a dedicated Emoji key and then it makes other buttons more narrow and when I go to hit the dedicated comma button, it accidentally hits the dedicated emoji button.

I am fine with not having emojis at all. Is there a way to stop it from doing this on social media? It never did before. I love SwiftKey and I've use it since it was a paid app. I'm not liking this, though.

 I do not want any suggestions.  please tell me how to remove these? 

Why does a space appear before a semicolon?

How can I get more predictive suggestions than the default 3? In the Czech language quite a lot of words are longer and differ in one or two letters at the end (such as překrásný, překrásná, překrásní, překrásně, překrásné, překrásno, překrásnou,...). The prediction then is useless if I anyway need to type the whole word. In the old times my Nokia was able to expand for me the whole list of other similar words to choose from.

Hey,

this seriously annoys me to no end sometimes. I use German and English language and it happens so many times that whenever I press space for auto correct/complete it just fill in a word from the other language which makes no sense and it doesn't even exist in that way in the language I currently use.

Hello everyone.

I want to know that is it possible to change the number keys layout? I like to use Google and Samsung type keyboard layout for numbers.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if in addition to the 3D touch cursor control there could be a cursor control function integrated into the spacebar?

It'd be similar to touch ID in the sense that it would understand the gesture as a distinct one.
It would require a clean swipe to the left or right starting on the spacebar to activate in order to prevent any unwarranted cursor control during multi-word swiping.

I believe it would suit the flowly nature of SwiftKey and be a welcome option for those either:
1) wanting cursor control without the pause 3D touch demands.
2) enables iPhone SE users to have SwiftKey offer another feature stock doesn't provide enhancing the SwiftKey flow optimised phone size.

Cheers for giving this a read either way and love the app guys!

I just updated today and auto space after a period is gone and it's killing me.

Hi
The feature that I find the most annoying, and would like the option to turn off, is the auto move of the cursor to the end of the word. When I want to insert/correct a character, I press on the location within the word, and the cursor moves to the end of the word! I have all the arrow keys displayed at the bottom of the keyboard, so pressing on the location & adjusting with the arrow keys is super fast. Except the cursor jumps to the end of the word! I think this feature was added a couple of years ago. It still gets in the way. I haven't found a fast workaround, so an option to turn it off would be much appreciated.

I'm not that sure if I've got the right place to make suggestions, but I have an idea for SwiftKey.
I've recently seen on a Huawei mobile someone using the default keyboard like this:
It was swiping from the Swipe button (Bottom-left. It's second function was to go to settings) to the letter A and all the text was getting selected, just like a Ctrl+A on the PC.
Swipe button + X was cutting the text. Swiping from the Swipe Button to D was opening Google searching the selected text. + C was copying, +V pasting the text.
And these are only a few of the cool features it has. It would be nice if we would have them, as the Huawei keyboard still has problems on other things like the dictionary for some language & things.

And by the way, thank you for SwiftKey, the fastest keyboard on the market. :D

Why the keyboard not have undo and redo the text.

Pls if this characters in SwiftKey. Pls let us now about it if not then why?

I am not liking this new theme and how it automatically takes over my custom theme. I've been a big fan of SwiftKey, but this will force me to change keyboards. I absolutely do not like the layout change that happens. Please give an option to change.
Thank you!

Hi all. I've been using SwiftKey for a veeery long time and it's amazing. I really liked the voice integration but a while back I started to get away from Google products (yes, Android is from Google but you can strip quite a lot of their stuff from it) and I (sadly) discovered that after removing Google Search app the voice dictation stopped working.

SwiftKey is now owned by Microsoft and MS has it's own voice recognition. There is also a Common Voice project from Mozilla (https://voice.mozilla.org/) which should be more open/transparent (though they are only collecting data / training for now).

tl,dr;

Having alternative voice input would be awesome!

I cannot for the life of me get SwiftKey to stop replacing "I'm" with "I". It happens about 50% of the time and makes for some incredibly odd sounding sentences like "hey I going to the store" or "I on my way".

If I just repeatedly flow "I'm" this happens: "I I'm In I I'm I I'm I I'm I I'm I'm" where it alternates between the two, this is after telling it "do not predict I again".

I even turned off autocorrect and it STILL does it.

Device is an AT&T branded Samsung Galaxy S8 running Android 7.0, using SwiftKey Beta 6.6.2.25. Steps to reproduce: try to type (using flow) "I'm". 

I use a few different languages with SwiftKey and it works great, but I use English the most. But ever since I added the other languages I communicate in, SwiftKey seems to be suggesting foreign words over common words in English. Like "N°" instead of "No" and "Só" instead of "So". 

Is there a way to hint to SwiftKey to prioritize English words so I stop sending "N°, I don't want to go to that restaurant" to my friends?

Is there any shortcut to Switch Between Languages? Every time I have to go to settings to select required Language. Very Lengthy Process.

I'd love to have a question mark permanently instead of a dot, I swipe to access and I type a lot of 'ml' when I'm in a hurry. Please, I beg you. :)

Is it possible to have SwiftKey *not* remove the preceding space when an underscore is being inserted?
This issue (along with a few others) was raised as far as December 2014. Unfortunately, it hasn't received attention from the developers.

It's rather frustrating having to go back through typed text to correct things from

"It_should_ be fixed immediately" to "it _should_ be fixed immediately".

Ordinarily it wouldn't be a problem if you could simply backspace and correct it. However, fixing this 'typo' requires a careful placement of the caret (which isn't at all easy) then inserting a space and then moving to the end of the line to continue with the text.
This slows text input especially when writing formatted text on WhatsApp and Telegram, both of which use the underscore for formatting.

O teclado omitiu a tecla Ç, e deveria estar presente no teclado para o padrão de escrita brasileiro ABNT.

Where did the Ç key go?
The keyboard omitted the Ç key, and should be present on the keyboard for the Brazilian ABNT writing pattern.

I am searching ctrl key on my swiftkey. I would like to use commands that needed the CTRL key on my keyboard.
Please advise!
Thanks

Hi - I have a OnePlus 7 Pro running Android v10, set up for gesture control. As such, I no longer have any navigation buttons on the bottom of my display.

I am having a big problem with SwiftKey, where the keyboard can't be moved to the bottom of my display:

Aside from losing valuable screen real estate, this causes a lot of SwiftKey failures for me.

For example, If I am trying to type with the space bar, or enter key (or, any of the bottom keys), and accidentally hit just a little bit lower than the bottom row key, SwiftKey registers it as a "close keyboard" event, and I lose whatever I was typing. This is a HUGE pain in the rear!

Please update SwiftKey to allow the keyboard to be located at the bottom of the screen when the user has selected a gesture navigation method. Note that there are multiple manufacturers that have their own version of gesture navigation (like OnePlus), so the solution should be generic enough to detect that any gesture navigation implementation will allow the keyboard to be located at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks!

I have been using SwiftKey on Android for years, switched to iPhone a few days ago. Very unhappy with the ways comma work here. To insert a comma and a space after it, I have to hit the "special symbols" button, then comma, and then the space bar. Alternatively, I have to press and hold the "." key, then move to the comma, then hit space. That is 3 keystrokes, whereas in Android it only took one (you have the comma button on the default keyboard to the left of the space bar, and an empty space is automatically added once you hit it). Likewise, it is also annoying that no space is added after hitting the "." button, however at least this can be fixed by using a double-tap on the space bar to create the dot instead.

I understand SwiftKey is trying to imitate the way the native iOS keyboard works in this regard, but frankly, that setup is just horrible, so please at least give us the option to customize. A comma is a button that is too frequently required not to be on the main keyboard, and in at least 90% of cases, when you type a comma, you want an empty space behind it, so that really should be automatic.

Hi,

i've been using Swiftkey for a long time to edit spreadsheets in Excel for Android. After the last update (21/08 if i'm correct) the prediction words on the upper side of the swiftkey keyboard do not show up!

Before the update the prediction was working flawlessly when i was editing a cell. Did you change that on purpose or is it a bug. I hope it's just a bug because i need the predictions back!

Thank you

I want to connect my SwiftKey account with my Google account, but SwiftKey is asking permission to "Read, send, delete, and manage your email." I understand that SwiftKey needs to see what I'm typing in Gmail to analyze my typing patterns, but why does SwiftKey need to "View, manage, and permanently delete your mail in Gmail"?

 Thanks for a sweet keyboard! 

I was wondering if you could place the microphone in a more convenient position or maybe make it easier to tap. I haven't once tapped that dang thing without tapping all around it. 

Not complaining seriously

I would like to able to turn off the trail in the flow feature. The trail that follows my finger from one key to the next, at least for me blocks the vision of the keyboard. I've used another keyboard that allows me to turn off the trail. I don't use that other keyboard because SwiftKey is better overall. I think it is best out there.
