Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Hi guys,

How to submit a feature request

If you've had a really good idea and want SwiftKey to hear all about it, the best way to do that is to submit it via the 'Feature Request' form here:

https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

We look forward to reading all your requests and improvements.

The best way to post a question

When in portrait mod , SwiftKey functions properly, but in landscape mode it overlays the input dialog with a blinding white input box that fills the entire top of the screen. It occurs with authentication dialogs, when entering an app review in Google Play store, etc. This is quite a shock to the eyes when working in dark mode.

The problem doesn't occur with Samsung keyboard. 

Devices :

• Samsung Galaxy S8+, Android 8
• Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, Android 9

There is one thing missing from this keyboard to make it perfect, in my opinion. Something LG keyboard has and is very useful: the ability to change the most used punctuation key(s) near the space bar. Right not there is a "," and a ".", the latter having a drop-down menu. I would like to be able to change them to what i use most. In LG, this is possible and you are even able to move their location (left or right).

Would you consider implementing this in the future, please?

I realize that you want to try to keep everyone happy, but we should be able to use adult orientated gifs.  As an adult, I am fully capable of knowing when it's appropriate to use them and when it's not.  A toggle that is turned off by default, but to allow us to turn them on would be great.  Right now, I have to switch between keyboards to use them, which is obviously not the solution that I should have to use.  Especially with such a great tool as this is :).  

I just got a new phone and I thought all my data and settings would transfer over when I installed the app on my new phone, but it hasn't. Please help! I'm on android.

I have been following the SwiftKey support steps here to enable cloud clipboard syncing between my Windows 11 laptop and Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 8).

I've ensured that the cloud clipboard and sync settings are enabled on both my phone and PC, but whenever I copy a URL on either device, it doesn't show up in the clipboard history on the other device.

Am I missing something or looking in the wrong place? Please let me know, any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!

настроила синхронизацию между компьютером и андроид-клавиатурой, если я копирую текст на телефоне, я вижу его на пк, но наоборот не работает. пробовала и автоматическую синхронизацию, и ручную, но работает функция только в одну сторону. очень бы хотелось иметь возможность полной синхронизации, в чем может быть причина?

So in windows 10 October 2018 update, Microsoft has add SwiftKey support to their on screen keyboard. Soon they will integrate cloud clipboard with SwiftKey too. But the problem is my SwiftKey already tied with Google account, and somewhat I'm want to tied to my Microsoft account too. Can you add these feature please?

Probably 85% of the mistakes I have to correct are the result of hitting the period key instead of the space bar. Can we have an option to move it, or make it a hard-press or long-press, or.....something. It's my only significant problem with an otherwise outstanding keyboard. Thanks much.

Won't you please include the bullet ( • ) and checkmark ( ✓ ) characters, so useful for lists of items and tasks? You could easily add them as alternate long-press symbols. It's the only thing preventing me from switching from GBoard to SwiftKey. I've asked for this for a couple of years now on Play Store, but maybe you don't read those comments…? Thanks!

Whenever I start a Voice to Text Entry, everything goes correctly, I can see text appearing... until I pause. And then all input is deleted.

I was having problem with my android phone.. its apps were crashing again and again.. and was an headache.. so I looked up on the internet how to fix this problem and then I found this website https://androidintensive.com/common-google-play-store-errors-list/ it has every solution to any android problem.. do check it out if you are having any android issues!

I have just had to do a reset on my phone and after reinstalling Swiftkey it now changes to Incognto mode whenever I am in the app drawer. I can't read the incognito theme at all (whoever thought dark grey on a black background was a great idea should be shot), and as a result the keyboard becomes useless when trying to do an app search. How do I stop it from changing modes in the app drawer? It's not like I have to hide what's on there, it's not typing into a sensitive app, it's just the app listing for heaven's sake.

As a user, I would like to be able to use SwiftKey Keyboard to scan a barcode (QR-Code). By clicking a simple button that opens the camera and ready to scan a QR-code.
I think everyone wants to use this essential feature.

I switched from Gboard for two reasons: 

1. I'm a Microsoft person. 
2. Gboard's lag was killing me. 

However, you guy seriously need to improve your Chinese keyboard. Mainly because it's hard to type actual names since I don't remember every single character.
