When I tap for the Apple Pencil auxiliary keyboard in ANY app it does not always display. All that I get more often than not is the shaded bar that allows me to move the position of the board. Shutting down and restarting the app/ device does not fix it. It just seems to be luck when it appears.

Any way to turn off the tracing of your swype while swyping on your keyboard? iOS.

Hi all,

Does SwiftKey have a Thumb Layout option on IOS like it does in Android?

Hi,

I have an 2020 ipad air with ios 14.3, SwiftKey version 2.8.5 and if I try to share a post from Facebook to a text message while in landscape mode the send arrow is not operational and seems to overlap on the message window. If I rotate the iPad in portrait mode the send arrow works. Please fix this bug, I have been dealing with this for a couple of months but did not get a chance to report it. Thank you. 

Swiftkey was my keyboard of choice for Android for many years. Just switched to IOS and I'm shocked that Korean is not supported. Based on search results, it seems that it's been this way for many years. This just doesn't make sense to me. 

Hi All:

Lately my iPhone has been insanely slow when browsing, regardless of browser. Speedtest shows 120Mbps down and 80Mbps up with minimal latency and other apps are fine.

I’ve restarted, same issue, any suggestions!

Thanks

Please allow a few more optional click sounds for iOS Swiftkey? A computer keyboard press sound would be awesome. Also volume controls for the click sounds? Some of us have hearing  handicaps and would appreciate the extra help to hear the keyboard clicks.

Sincerely,

Ryan

Hi,

Something tells me that this question has been already asked before on that forum. I just could not find the right thread. I've just moved from Android to iOS with the iPhone 12, installed my favorite keyboard - SwiftKey.

One thing that I'm missing a lot is the functionality of deleting a word by swiping left to right on the keyboard. Something that I've used "a lot" on Android. Is there a way to enable it on the iOS version?

Hello,

I noticed a couple notifications in iOS 14 about SwiftKey accessing my clipboard that I can't comprehend. It appears to happen sometimes after beginning to edit a textfield in a 3rd party app but also apparently randomly while browsing 3rd party apps.

I find this especially concerning when it happens after copying a password in a password manager. But also in other contexts it should be comprehensible ofc.

Why does this happen? How can I turn this off???

 Hello, I am french, I just upgraded from an Android Smartphone to an iPhone SE 2020 iOS 12, but I cannot configure my Swiftkey keyboard to display the special characters above each alphabetical letter like I did on Android. . I know that special characters are also accessible by pressing the "123" key then the "+ = #" key if I want to use the underscore "_" for example but it's really not practical, whereas on my Android Swiftkey keyboard, I just have to stay and press the "W" key to make the underscore "_"! Can you help me configure my Swiftkey keyboard on my iPhone SE 2020 iOS 12 as on my Android please. I'm placing a screenshot of my Android Swiftkey keyboard where the special characters above the letters I want to appear on my iPhone Swiftkey keyboard are outlined in red.

Thank you.

I am having this problem where it doesn't matter what theme I choose, the buttons are all yellow... the only thing that works is choosing the transparent buttons option, but I would like to actually have button outlines.

Je ne sais pas pourquoi mes jeu ne se télécharge pas

Say for example I'm typing the word 'atmosphere'
Before the last update, I was able to manually type out A, T, then continue to end the word by swiping from M through E. And the word completes.

However.. Now.. If I were to manually type A, T. Then continue to swipe the remaining letters. The A, T will end as 'at' and start a new word with the swiping input from M to E.

This is annoying as I've gotten used to using a combo of half manual type and swiping to complete typing style. It is also one of the reasons I've stuck to SwiftKey! Cos no other swipe keyboards allow this feature.

Please rectify 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I love SwiftKey and have used it for years. However I hate the new Toolbar feature because it now means the three predictive word suggestions become truncated and not fully visible due to the space taken up by the + symbol. For example a suggestion of 'appear' shows up as 'A...ear'. This is pretty pointless given these words are supposed to be suggestions but can't actually be read. Previously if a long word was predicted / suggested then the font would just be reduced to fit into the space which was great but now it's just useless.

Anyone know of a way to disable the Toolbar? If not can SwiftKey look at making this new feature an option rather than a mandated feature?

How do you activate the arc mode on iOS? I see a picture of this in the add, but I cannot find a way to turn it on.

Please add Georgian language support for IOS devices. We will help you if you need. 

The blending keyboard for the iPhoneX theme is not able to switch to black jnstead of white, only in the preview in the app itself. Am I doing something wrong or is it just not possible yet?

Since the newest Update I can't use the SwiftKey keyboard on YouTube it's bugging. My device is iPhone 8 plus

Hi there since the newest update on my iPhone 8 plus your keyboard isn't working on YouTube anymore. Everytime it will open me the normal keyboard and if I choose SwiftKey it doesn't appears and is bugging

I use Marathi keyboard on my Sony Android phone. It’s wonderful.

But I feel very sorry that my iPAD, on which I write too much in Marathi, is not so supported. 

May I know when this facility would be made available for iOS? 

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.

Hey,

I am used to keyboards that use some sort of swipe-move to navigate and select text, I would never go back to selecting text inside the text again the old way.

I find swiftkey suuuper nice, but I am disapointed that there is no smart way of selecting or navigating?

Such as: swipe along the spacebar (like Tempest keyboard) or starting on a certain key and then swiping, or even swiping in the suggestion boxes.

I also cant get arrows to work, even though some posts suggests this would be possible. Again, not backspace, arrows to navigate inside the text.

I am on an iphone 6, so I don't have access to keyboard touch pad, does that work on newer phones for swiftkey?

Thanks, you put a lot of work in to this! (please put a liiitle bit more for me!)

Cheers,

Rickard

When typing in the search field of the ios Google App and using the Swiftkey keyboard on iPhone 7 it constantly tries to bounce between keyboards making it very difficult to type. For example, when I push a letter it will sometimes accept the letter, but while doing so you can briefly the Apple default keyboard flash for a split second and in most cases it completely screws up what I'm trying to type. This only happens in the Google search app. 

I've uninstalled Swiftykey and the Google app but the problem persists. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 

Swiftkey had Korean language support for Android.

Please make Korean available for iOS.

Thanks,

Sang
