Microsoft SwiftKey iOS Support Forums

I used this very usefully on Android, but I could not use Korean after I switched to iPhone.

Why do you support Korean on Android and not on iPhone?

Please please support Korean on iPhone.

 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.

Hi,

Using Swiftkey in the iOS 13 Mail app with iPhone Xr, the keyboard now takes up so much screen space that there's not much room for editing the text! I've had to switch off the number row (which I really like) to save space, because the new iOS editing bar/row (whatever it's called), can't be hidden like it can with the native keyboard. Any ideas? Anyone agree this is an issue? 

Also, although I now only have Swiftkey enabled, so that there is no Globe/Global key at the bottom, there is still about 1cm of empty space on the screen between the bottom of the space bar and the home bar/line at the bottom of the screen. Is there any way this space could be reclaimed, I wonder?

Thanks for any ideas or comments.

iOS 13.2.2 but same issue since iOS 13

Ever since my XS max update to iOS 13, the keyboard default won't stay constant.  I've moved the top keyboard around within Settings General Keyboards, but SwiftKey at the top typically will not come up as default.  Worked fine prior to the iOS updates.  Not sure what to do.

Swiftkey, while being a superb app (using both on iOS and Android), does not support my native Armenian on iOS and the keyboard layout options on Android are quite limited.

The major keyboard layouts for Armenian language are Armenian Eastern, Armenian Western and Armenian Phonetic.

Armenian Eastern (used by people in Republic of Armenia):

Armenian Western (used by people in Armenian diaspora):

Armenian Phonetic (used by people lacking computer skills and migrating from the old KDWin software for Windows PC):

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdarmph.html

I would be very thankful if you implemented these options in the iOS and Android versions of the app. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Is it possible to remove this area, which I marked on my screen to get more screen space for my conversations? I disabled all other keyboards and microphone functions so all buttons disappeared from a bar and now it's just unused and wasted space on my screen :( Anyone?

Can we please get one handed mode keyboard for the iPhone? It is really hard to use the swipe function on the iPhone XS Max with this huge screen.

I like the Telugu keyboard a lot in Android. I would appreciate if it can be made available for IOS also

Is it possible to add a clip that is dynamic - say cd for the current date, ct for the current time etc? Are there any sort of macros like that available?

Thanks

Dear SwiftKey team,

Please add support for the Ukrainian language, I and many of my friends are waiting for this for several years.

I keep seeing how adding the number key functionality is not currently possible in iOS. However, I've already seen this in the Touchpad keyboard. I would really love it if SwiftKey would follow suit and add this functionality.

Please add vibrate when typing on keys

I've been a happy user of SwiftKey for years on my Android phone, never had an issue with it, always seamless and easy to use. I've just switched to a new iPhone and Japanese is not offered for iPhone users, this is surprising to say the least and very disappointing. I was able to simply swipe the spacebar to the right to change between English & Japanese which was perfect. I am a native English speaker but live in Japan and need to text, search, etc. in both languages. I find it hard to believe that SwiftKey does not offer Japanese for iPhone but only for Android. I'm going to have to look to another app that can do that for me, too bad really.

Since a few updates SwiftKey started to flicker, i.e. when I pick the text input area in an app (doesn't matter which one, same behaviour all across the board) SwiftKey shows up, quickly vanishes and then shows up again. If I start typing before it vanishes nothing happens until it reappears. That's annoying, but I can stand it if it weren't for..

Sometimes SwiftKey doesn't reappear, but the standard iOS keyboard. So I have to manually switch keyboard again.

Quite annoying, frankly. A fix, please?

Why there is no bangla language

Please change nickel dark back to how it was. That look was why I used SwiftKey. I've been using SwiftKey for years, back when it was a paid app on Android, and I always used that theme. I'm very disappointed and would like my theme back.

I installed SwitKey on my iPhone 7. I have set Italian as default language and I use two languages on my keyboard, that is Italian and English. In fact, on SwiftKey keyboard space bar I can see IT-EN.

Howeve, if I type by using that keyboard, in any foeld (writing an SMS or an iMessage, filling a field in a web form, creating a note, posting on Facebook), the text is ALWAYS underlined by red, as the words would not be recognized by proofer. 

Why?

I have an iPhone 12 with the latest (2.9.0) version of swiftkey and somehow the option to disable the quick emoji key is not working: it is set to off, but the key is still there. It is annoying not only because I press it by mistake but also because iOS has its own emoji shortcut right below it, so its just taking up space.

Anything special i need to do to disable it?

In IOS version of the app when you long press letters polish diacritical marks (ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż) are on the very end of avalible symbols behind marks not used in polish language. Could you move then so they appear first (plus maybe remove non polish ones)?

Every time I use voice to text on any iOS app, SwiftKey's app opens itself and stays open. It is quite annoying.

Thank you.

I just upgraded to v 2.7.1 on my iPhone 5c. This resulted in the SwiftKey keyboard not filling the full width of the screen. (see screen shot below - note the gray region on the left/right edge of the keyboard).

Is it possible to fix this bug in the next release?

Thanks!

Lately the keyboard is acting up very often. The following three things have been happening on and off during the last month.

It keeps closing and reopening as I type.

It changes to the regular keyboard making me choose SwiftKey after every word or two.

It is not smooth - after I begin typing a word it gives choices of another word but then resumes the current word.

Any ideas?

I miss the red correction line under misspelled or non-existent words. Like in the standard apple keyboard 

Does Swiftkey support one handed keyboard?

If not, why havent Swiftkey added any support for one-handed keyboard? The standard mode is pretty useless on big screen phones such as the iPhone XS max / iPhone Plus modells. Swiping in such width with fullscreen keyboard is pretty annoying, and forces me to use both my hands when texting.

Just wondering if there's a way to get the iOS stock keyboard theme while using SwiftKey? I've tried playing around with 'design your own theme' but it seems like you can't achieve what I'm looking for since you can't customize the buttons and the background enough.

Thank you.
