Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

I just moved from my beloved LG to a sterile but functional Samsung S10 ... and noticed that the microphone button that used to allow for audio recordings (not voice to text) that resided top right above the number keys is gone.

> Is this an update that removed? 
> Is this a Samsung limitation? 
> Is there an obvious solution that I'm missing because I don't drink coffee like everyone else?

Thanks, y'all!!!

Hi - I have a OnePlus 7 Pro running Android v10, set up for gesture control. As such, I no longer have any navigation buttons on the bottom of my display.

I am having a big problem with SwiftKey, where the keyboard can't be moved to the bottom of my display:

Aside from losing valuable screen real estate, this causes a lot of SwiftKey failures for me.

For example, If I am trying to type with the space bar, or enter key (or, any of the bottom keys), and accidentally hit just a little bit lower than the bottom row key, SwiftKey registers it as a "close keyboard" event, and I lose whatever I was typing. This is a HUGE pain in the rear!

Please update SwiftKey to allow the keyboard to be located at the bottom of the screen when the user has selected a gesture navigation method. Note that there are multiple manufacturers that have their own version of gesture navigation (like OnePlus), so the solution should be generic enough to detect that any gesture navigation implementation will allow the keyboard to be located at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks!

Why this function disappeared from Swift Key ? Howo to personalize my keyboard ?

https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/articles/201448662-How-do-I-personalize-my-typing-with-SwiftKey-Keyboard-for-Android-

As stated in the title, I can't find the personalization settings. When I go to accounts, there is only "your account", "account services", and "account data". There are no options for me to add accounts such as twitter, facebook, gmail, etc for SwiftKey to learn from. There are only SwiftKey account options.

I can no longer find swiftkey in Google playstore. Have you stopped supporting Android? I use LineageOS 15.1 based on Android 8.1.0 and I have been able to find it and update it until now. If this is the case then I have to find another keyboard. I have used swiftkey since it was released and even paid for it. It's a shame but life goes on.

The personalization button in Account has been removed. How do we retrieve data from social media now?

how to stop emoji from automatically appearing when sending messages to a specific individual?

I have tried and tried and searched high and low and still have not been able to disable the predictive Emoji feature. I cannot stand it. It makes editing a text or whatever I'm possible because if you touch the little gray box all the sudden you get a dozen pictures of dogs or cats or hats or whatever it is you typed in and they decided you would rather do it in pictures than in words. I am not a 14 year old little girl hanging out at the mall. None of the instructions that are available and none of the blogs or chat rooms or anything has any relevant instruction as to how to disable this feature. Even when I go into settings and think I have disabled it it still is not disabled. I do not want that little gray box around the word hat or cat or rat or dog or chair or anything like that. I just want to be able to type plain text. What am I doing wrong?

How can I switch to this number pad? 

Setting incognito mode would stay on until we turned it off. Now it auto disables. Can we please fix it? Thanks!

J'aurais sincroniser mes thèmes personnel de mon encien gsm ver mon nouveau. Comment faire ?

Hi,

when entering an email address with Swiftkey, there's the key with the @-sign to the right of the space bar. When doing a long press, it offers a list of domain names (for me "@yahoo.com", "@hotmail.com" and "@gmail.com") for quick fill. Is there any way to edit this list? I would love to add a few entries to this list.

Best regards,

Daniel

I would like to see the support for the new unicode 12 emojis on the keyboard. When will it be available?

Hi there,

I'm somewhat new to SwiftKey, as I have used Swype in the past. Even after it has been discontinued, it stayed on my old phone until now. Now, with a new Galaxy S10 (running Android 9), I tried the newest version of SwiftKey from the Play Store, but I feel like I'm missing out on how to use/find basic features, so I have to ask for a little help. :)

So, what I'm looking for:

• How can I increase the number of word suggestions from my swiping? I type in different languages simultaneously, so having only three suggestions means that I have to delete the word that I just swiped and swipe it again if the word I intentioned wasn't suggested (as there are more words available that I could have meant). Having more options to choose from (by scrolling the suggestion/prediction bar), makes the workflow a lot better and quicker.
• How can I capitalize a word that I just typed, especially when it's not in the dictionary yet? Currently, I have to go the text, go delete the first character, use the shift key, type the first character again. Again, that's bad workflow, so I'm looking for the key/shortcut/gesture to just capitalize the current/last word.
• How can I extend the current word? Say, I want to write "SwiftKey" but the keyboard doesn't know the word yet. Right now, I have to swipe both words, resulting in "swift" and "key". Now I have to capitalize both words (or press the shift key beforehand), go back to the text, delete the space inbetween them, put the cursor at the end of the text and continue. Again, really bad workflow. How can I, after swiping "Swift" make sure that the word gets extended by the next word I swipe?
• Bonus question: Are there keyboard shortcuts for selecting the current word, all text (ctrl-a, basically) as well as copy, cut and paste or navigating through the text via cursors?

Thanks in advance for your help, everyone! :)

Edit: Uh, also: How to write German and English quotation marks instead of inch signs? How to write a long dash? (QWERTZ extended)

Hi i just updated my phone last night, hadnt used swiftkey before this. It won't let me save English (uk) and does not offer any info as to why or how or anything. So no swype, no predictive, no anything. What do i do?

I just moved to a new phone, and I assumed that my Swiftkey dictionary and prediction information would move over cleanly, but it doesn't appear so.  This being a new phone and all, there was a lot of account setup going on, and now every time I start typing, Swiftkey just wants to suggest various email addresses.  :/

How can I get my prediction data from my old phone to my new phone?  It's aggravating to think that I'm going to have to train this thing all over again to properly do things.

I found this post from 2 years ago asking the same thing:  https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115001479665-How-to-copy-personalised-predictions-from-previous-phone-to-the-new-one-

Unfortunately, that one has no responses, so I hope I have better luck.  *fingers crossed*
