SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Theme changed itself as I was trying to change theme to my custom theme. The theme is Phantom of the Opera. Which I have NEVER EVER DOWNLOADED BEFORE. It also will not let me switch back or even change this theme!!

does SwiftKey support handwriting input?

Hi,

i've been using Swiftkey for a long time to edit spreadsheets in Excel for Android. After the last update (21/08 if i'm correct) the prediction words on the upper side of the swiftkey keyboard do not show up!

Before the update the prediction was working flawlessly when i was editing a cell. Did you change that on purpose or is it a bug. I hope it's just a bug because i need the predictions back!

Thank you

When I reply to message and select a GIF I get prompted for the recipient as though it is a new message. This loses the recipient for the reply. This happens in all of my messaging apps. It doesn't happen with emojis. Why?

Is there a way to completely disable the incognito mode of SwiftKey? It is extremely annoying and does not even know how to do voice to text and the layout and everything is drastically different. I end up having to get out of the application open up something like Microsoft Word, use SwiftKey to type what I wanr then do cut it and then paste it back into the original document because the incognito mode doesn't work very well.

Please tell me how to disable Incognito mode completely.

There seems to be a bug with the Shift key after SWIPING a word. If I swipe a word, the cursor sits at the end of the word. Usually when the cursor is at the end of the word you can press the SHIFT key and the prediction menu will give you an option to change the word to the capitalized version.
However, if you press the SHIFT key after swiping, instead SwiftKey inserts a space. The SHIFT key is a modifying key and should never add a space. You currently have to push the BACK key, then the SHIFT, then you can select the capitalized Breton of the word
Please fix this.

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

I'd love to have a question mark permanently instead of a dot, I swipe to access and I type a lot of 'ml' when I'm in a hurry. Please, I beg you. :)

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)

Not happy being forced to use a crappy theme and I can't connect to a support. This is total crap, time to find a new keyboard first time in 8 years

Love the new theme builder. Just have some suggestions. Could you add the option to modify existing themes? (i.e. Darken or brighten them to match a background) also a slider to adjust the density or color of the keys would be great. Lastly I'd love to see something to adjust the font size on the keys. Thanks everyone! Keep up the great work!

I love pretty much all of this app....with one exception. I'm not at all impressed with the accuracy of the flow feature. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and have always used swipe as my primary input method. Any tips on improving the accuracy?

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?

Hi there,

I've been using SwiftKey for a few years now and enjoy it very much. However, I was wondering if you could include a setting where predictions could be turned off for certain apps. For instance, I use several medical apps (LexiComp and Epocrates), and SwiftKey tries to correct the medical terminology that I'm typing, which can be a nuisance. I notice that in some cases (such as typing in passwords), SwiftKey will not show the prediction bar. Could this be applied to certain apps? Thanks!

Is there a button that allows you to easily switch keyboards? I use another keyboard for programming and would like to switch between the two. The programming keyboard and a few others (gboard) you can hold the spacebar to list all of your keyboards if you can add this feature if such does not yet exist. Thanks!

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*

How do I turn the offencive language filter off?

My wife and I both have Samsung s8. I can't get simultaneous Serbian and English. Shows up as sr/eng on hers but for me I have the same setting but only English shows up. Tried switching themes and reinstalling app. Please help.

As title say, it would be very convinient to be able to connect to our documents online to learn the keyboard new words.

Hello all.

Is there a way to add the accents (tashkeel) for #arabic ?

I want get like that (copy paste from Internet) :
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

But by myself I'm only able to type like this:
سبحان الله وبحمده

Thanks.

 I have been using swiftkey for awhile and the other day while using it to swype the letters randomly changed. The "W" and the "Z" switched places on the keyboard. I can not figure out how to get this changed back. This happened once before and I had to delete it and re-install. 

I was wondering if anyone knows if we have any awesome easter themed keyboards available 

i lost my phone last week and i had some important numbers that i needed for my job pinned on the clipboard. is there any way to get my pinned numbers back on my new device? . i had a swiftkey account and backup and sync enabled.    

New swiftkey beta somehow 'lost' me keyboard language settings, so when the keyboard pops up I have this 'No keyboard language is set. SELECT LANGUAGE'

I click SELECT LANGUAGE, the Languages page opens and the list is empty. I can the refresh icon, but nothing shows up, only a 'Update failed. Check that you have a network connection and try again.' Obvioulsy my network connection is fine, be it WiFi or 4G.

My keyboard has suddenly moved some letters to different places. In particular A, Z, Q, W and M. How do I fix this please?

Just that. The keyboard has the Y Low-left.
This is a problem

How can I get more predictive suggestions than the default 3? In the Czech language quite a lot of words are longer and differ in one or two letters at the end (such as překrásný, překrásná, překrásní, překrásně, překrásné, překrásno, překrásnou,...). The prediction then is useless if I anyway need to type the whole word. In the old times my Nokia was able to expand for me the whole list of other similar words to choose from.

Development Team,

I cannot find how I'm supposed to report bugs for SwiftKey Beta anywhere within the app or even anywhere on the website. Please advise as to the preferred method for doing so.

Thanks,
Crashier

Can't seem to get the above accent on SwiftKey keyboard (English (UK) is the current default.)

Any help out there?
