Microsoft SwiftKey iOS Support Forums

Hi team,

At my country (Vietnam). Many people use idevice to work, relax, and more... but have not any keyboard better swiftkey. I love Swiftkey when i used android phone. But i need iphone to use for my work. We had wait for a long time to use Vietnamese language pack on Swiftkey (ios version).

Can you help to add Vietnamese language pack to Swiftkey for IOS ? I think many people will be happy with this decide from you. Thank you very much for read this. We love Swiftkey and waitting for Vietnamese language pack.

First of all: what a great product! But there is one thing that drives me nuts: how to change languages easily. I'm aware there is a setting to disable the emoji keyboard and supposedly it should replace it with the standard globe icon, but this is not exactly true as it behaves differently.

Let's assume I'm in swiftkey (where I have EN and DE as languages). Now I want to write my mum in Spanish, how do I get Spanish keyboard? On iOS keyboard I would just hold the globe and swipe to Spanish (hold->swipe). With swiftkey I have to click once the globe which brings me to next language which is the iOS emoji. Now I have to click Abc, then hold the globe and finally I can pick Spanish. What a horrible UX (click->click->hold->swipe). I'm sorry but the ios emoji picker is so much more a delight to use, so I would like to just remove the swiftkey custom menu altogether and access any keyboard directly. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

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!

Dear SwiftKey team,

Currently Im using SwiftKey keyboard on my iPhone, Russian and English keyboards and very happy with it. Thank you for your product, so much time saved!

Also, I used to have a phone with Android OS and used to have Japanese keyboard in SwiftKey. 

I wonder if you have a plans to bring Japanese keyboard in to iOS version or it will remain "for Android only"? 

Best regards,

Vlad

this keyboard its very good but please add one hand keyboard in the SwiftKey

Hi,

There appears to be an issue with the backspace key in SwiftKey when using the outlook app for emails within IOS.

To replicate the issue do the following:

Open outlook,
Open an email sent to you.
Click reply
Type some words,
Press enter TWICE (or more)
Type some more words
Now try backspace to delete those words.. It will now only delete one character per push at a time even when you hold the backspace key down,

The issue is not apparent when writing a new email, or replying to an email but you've not pressed the enter key twice.

IOS 10.3 (but was an issue before this version)
Outlook 2.20.0 (But was an issue before this version)
SwitftKey 1.6.3 (But was an issue before this version)

Any thoughts? I've raised a support query with the Outlook app team too .. but seeing as you are both MS owned, so perhaps you can talk to each other (trying not to laugh when typing that! )

Thanks
Tam

After one day, I can say I don't much care for this update. The emoji are too small and some have been removed. In particular, the musical notes. This build just doesn't seem friendly to me. I liked it better the way it was. I'm not a big user of Swiftmoji anyway. I don't mind the Swiftmoji integration, but it's a hassle to search other emoji. Some of the dark ones I can't even see.

hi

thank you for great keyboard!!!

feature request: could you add 3D touch action to backspace key to remove word on left from cursor?

thank you

I was so far a happy user of Switkey on Android, but I've been forced (for professional reasons) obliged to switch my phone to an iPhone...
So I was happy to see that Swiftkey was available on iOS as well, but when I tried to get the additional number row on top of my keyboard, I saw that this feature was missing on the iOS version such as some others.

Is there any roadmap for porting this feature on the iOS version, and more globally for aligning the two versions?

Thanks

When using Google search, the keyboard shows a "search" key.

When using Firefox, it doesn't.

What am I  missing?

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with facebook synchronization (see screenshot) https://ibb.co/mzDMva 
I have done several times the steps in this guide:

https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001642369-My-personalization-and-synchronization-is-failing

but it still does not work.
I noticed that SwiftKey does not appear in apps authorized by facebook (see screenshot n.2) https://ibb.co/fAX38v 

and in fact I have never asked to be authorized. why?

Is there any plans, and when will the app to iOS allow five languages and neural network, like the app to Android?

I would to became a beta tester of the iOS app: it's possible again?

While there are yearly more and more emoji, the search to find the right one is getting harder and harder. SwiftKey isn't helping... yet.

1. There is a lot of whitespace in the emoji board. Instead of 3,5 visable rows you could make it at least 4 rows (or even 4,5 if you read my second point). And instead of 9 emoji per row, you can make it 10.

2. The catogory buttons are very high, it takes up valueble space!

3. Have an favorite page, with emoji user can mark as favorite (with a 3D touch or long press). The upper row is changing so much, it's useless.

4. Replacement words (yes, just like Apple, but better). If I write pizza on the text keyboard, you can mark the word, because there is an emoji. One tap without switching to the emoji board could make it a real emoji pizza.

5. And it is possible while typing "piz" dat instead of the word pizza is shown in the suggestionsrow, you also could show the emoji.

After updating the beta today, it shows (Null) in the messages app on my iPhone 6s Plus. It seems to work everywhere else.

Update: I swiped the messages app out of multitasking. That seems to have worked. 👍🏻

Any chance to get Chinese language pack for ios device?

😢😢

hello i want to know how to put accent or acute in a word in greek language keyboard ... 

when you think to add 3D Touch support on iOS ?

Just downloaded the keyboard to my iPhone. I can't sign in to my account via FB or Google and get this

Hi, I've just switched from Samsung 6 edge to iPhone 7 (so I can use Apple watch for swimming & fitness etc), but I am seriously missing my SwiftKey keyboard. My floral one (not so fussed about the floral bits) has dual purpose keys, ie. Each one doubles up as a symbol plus - a real must of you have longer nails like lots of us ladies do these days, it has the 4 cursor keys at the bottom of the screen plus all numbers across the top. Why can't I get it or anything similar on iPhone? Be so kind if anyone can help on this? It's driving me nuts! Many thanks Louise 😊

On newer iPhones and iPads there is a feature I don't know how it's called, but it looks like a trackpad/touchpad.

If you press somewhere on the keybord for a longer time or with 2 fingers, the letters disappear and you can use the trackpad to positioning the cursor.

I think, this is very usefull, because I often have problems to place the cursor where I want it to be.

Hi Ryan, somehow my test profile on testflight got deleted and I've been reverted back to SwiftKey standard from the app store. Is there any way to get back to the iOS beta/ test version of SwiftKey, and what is the developer code that I need to enter into testflight to enable the beta? Thanks

This has been an often demanded feature request for over 1.5 years now already on the former forum. Please, SwiftKey, keep up with your competitors and implement this feature asap now!

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 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.

I had a Galaxy phone, downloaded SwiftKey to try it out , ended up being my favorite app!! Love all the different themes it has for android. Changed themes for holidays and just because!! Then I got an iphone thinking ios would have SwiftKey and same awesome themes or other awesome themes but I was soooo wrong. I like my iphone but am dissappointed that SwiftKey didn't have very many themes for ios. Only one I like is Shooting Stars. I know it is not SwiftKeys fault, I was just not ready for the let down!! Does anyone know if SwiftKey will be having some new themes in the near future for ios? 

I have had SwiftKey on my Galaxy phone for several years and love it. I like changing the themes for Holidays and just for a different look. I have been really happy with SwiftKey. I now have an iphone, downloaded the app from Apple app store and am very dissappointed in it. There are hardly any themes at all for ios and none of them are the same as I had on Android. I don't think the themes from android can go on ios. If there is a way around this, please let me know. 

Hi there,

I switched from Android to iOS earlier this year, and since then I've loved having swiftkey on iOS, but one massive problem I have is I absolutely LOATHE the iOS keyboard, and every time Swiftkey does a bug fix update it forces me to use the iOS keyboard and when I press and hold the globe to try to switch back to Swiftkey it says '(null)Swiftkey'

Does anyone know why Swiftkey is going 'null' or unusable after EVERY bugfix update? my iOS is updated to 10.1.1 as of today.... Is there a setting I have to redo? As far as I know Swiftkey has full access permissions as required....

Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess iOS 10.1.1 was the issue... as soon as it finished updating SK is back... Thanks!

Hello there,

 Tl;DR:

Is it possible to change the google account associated to SwiftKey Cloud?

Long version:

I have recently changed of Google Account, so I wanted to know if it is possible to migrate all my data, being it keyboard dictionary, my tap map, etcetera, move all that to my new google account. I actually had already deleted this email account and only then realised I lost all my data for SwiftKey, so I had to open a special request for Google to recover my account from their archive servers, however, I would really like not to have a separate google account just for SwiftKey.

Thank you,

Tiago
