The best way to post a question

Lately I can't type anything any more because the keyboard thinks I'm touching two letters at once and inputs both of them, even though it makes no sense. It used to work very well, now I have to touch exactly the middle of each key every time. Please fix it or revert to the previous version.

I've OPPO A52 and everytime I a typo it gives me a red line under it and when I click on it it shows a popup of suggested words from my personal dictinary

How can I disable spellcheck and the popup completely??

I appreciate SwiftKey on my Android devices, but now have a new Chrome OS tablet.  It installs like other Android apps, but does not appear as a virtual keyboard selection.

Hello all,

I noticed a very annoying thing in Swiftkey keyboard Android. I cannot use clipboard in a field that accepts only digits. The keyboard hides the "+" button so I can't use the clipboard on it.

However, when using other keyboards (e.g. Chrooma), I can paste on the same field from the clipboard.

Anyone came across the same issue? please help, this been annoying me for a long time.

Thank you.

This is a recurring problem that happens following updates of Twitter, Swiftkey or both. When going to write a tweet the keyboard appears but then immediately disappears (0.1 second). I am forced to switch to the normal keyboard. I have a Samsung S21 Ultra with Android 11. This has been happening on and off for years, with different phones and versions of Android. I see other people have had the same experience. Twitter is the only thing this happens with. Please find why and fix, thanks.

Hi, quick question
Ned to remove the red line under words and i wanna make him stop asking me to add words to the dictionary. Tried every settings, nothing worked, it keeps doing this. Im frustrated!!

I cannot change my search engine in SwiftKey, it only gives me the option to use Bing.
I found this answered question: https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360077148331-Can-t-change-default-search-engine

Whenever I type a word that is not in my dictionary, the app shows me others forms of the word that I might want to add to the dictionary. I just want that list to stop popping on my screen. But I want the auto corrector to be in function. Is this possible?

I have requested to SwiftKey for years that the spacebar is too tall. It comes right up to the bottom row of keys and it's difficult to not accidentally hit it pitting in odd spaces and errant predictions. If you could just shorten the height of the spacebar, this would solve the issue. I have tried other keyboards and don't have the same problem I do with SwiftKey. Is there a way I don't know to shorten the height of the spacebar? Add a gap between the spacebar and the lower row of letters? Even narrowing the width would help when hitting punctuation. Any ideas or replies from SwiftKey? Thanks.

Could it be possible to add a option to disable gesture input altogether?
I do not like using flow as it makes me type slower, so I put it in gesture and because of that, sometimes deletes words or lowers the keyboard which is very annoying.
I am just wanting you to add a option to disable it entirely. I know I would use it, and there has someone else out there too!

When I attempt to insert a GIF in a text message from the SwiftKey keyboard, it only inserts a URL to the GIF, not the GIF. This started happening after the latest big update (couple days now).

hello

In evernote, we can copy a note's internal link and paste it in another note.

example : copy internal link of noteA  in noteB

On PC, the link is a short link named with the title of the first note

example :  when lookig in "noteB", you see the link "noteA"

On android, the link is a long link (an URL) like https://www.evernote.com/shard/smlml§sd5s4d54f/dsdsds...


The trouble come from swiftkey because on pc,no problem and on android with samsung keyboard, no problem.

How can i end this issue, please ?

Kindly make a transparent keyboard. Thus would be a great feature. I use the SwiftKey Beta and the space bar in normal mode is too close to the virtual home button key on my phone that I keep accidentally returning to the home page whenever I am chatting or typing an email. This can get very frustrating. A transparent keyboard which can Float a few millimeters away from the home button would be great making it easier to read what's under the keyboard. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Please remove this new info icon and allow us to add seventh shortcut?

My SwiftKey changed to float, which I like, but the arrow keys don't display when float is selected.

Just like the title says, could you add arrows to the floating keyboard?

As you can see in the image, this symbol is not correct in this group. This is supposed to make letter look wider like this " الــــــــــســـــــلام". in other two Arabic layouts: Arabic 123 original and Arabic 123 PC , this symbol is correctly applied. but in Arabic 123  it is a different symbol.

i downloaded swiftkey on my fire tv stick the app opens to the 3 step acctivation so i press acctivate and a error box pops up saying stuff about batterys and other stuff so on. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I use SwiftKey on multiple phones. Same login / account.

They should all be able to add new clips but also have ability to SEE clips added from different phones (same SwiftKey user!) 

I'm speaking about - SYNC. 

Our clipboards clips AREN'T BACKED UP AND SYNCED.

I have so many of them set-up. Do u know how much TIME  I have spent setting Pinned clipboard clips and shortcuts up, just to lose them all? :(

Please, SwiftKey team, SYNC them.

Or at least, give option to export and import! (XML, TXT, whatever - as long as Import exists, too!) 

I lose so much of my hard work because you DON'T backup/sync clipboard content and pinned items and shortcuts ACROSS PHONES, when SwiftKey account is the same...

I once lost my phone and bought another, enabled SwiftKey and NONE OF MY CLIPS were saved. :((((Such a big disappointment! 

Please give this HIGH priority, PLEASE.

Kindest regards, Helen

PS. Do you, other fellow SwiftKey users, agree that there should be Backup & Sync (and/or Import / Export) of our Clipboard's clips?Pinned ones, especially! 

I'm using the Forest theme which is primarily black with a few green accents.

Why do a few Android 11 apps lose the green?
