Wrong word selection constantly
Lately this app has taken a downturn. It constantly puts in the wrong word. When I backspace to fix it, the word I just input shows up. Ugh! Why wasn't it selected to start with. I've stopped and deliberately made sure I swiped exactly from letter to letter, and it will still put in what it wants to, but what I swiped or what my history would predict. It not only suggests by preemptively puts in a word I rarely use over what I've just used or have used hundreds of times since I stated this app.
Hi there,
Can you try a fresh install?
Meanwhile, can you explain more? Like :

im havinv the same issue across most apps on samsung galaxy edge 7 in flow mode and standard
Same bug. It's very infuriating because the word suggestion I pick isn't the word that appears. I'm used to typing fast and I make mistakes because of SwiftKey
When typing only. I don't use flow.
Same here.
SwiftKey used to be my favorite keyboard app. From 2017,with multiple words prediction, I get wrong words in my text even without autocorrect: I tap on a word from the auto predict but instead another one (or more) get written. Sometimes with huge misunderstanding from my correspondent. I fear I need to get another app.
Yes, I've been researching other apps because this has become nearly unusable. I don't use flow but have for years typed and let Swiftkey complete my words. It used to work like a charm but recently friends and colleagues have inquired if I'm ok because everything comes out incomprehensible. Extra words, emoji (although I, thankfully, learned where to turn that off) and words I never use...What the hell happened and how can we restore to the earlier version of the app that I loved?
For us better understanding and locating the problem, please read and answer my first post.

Without necessary information it would be very hard for us to help you.
Thanks
I have the very same problem. I type a perfectly normal name or word, and it seems the app goes out of its way to insert the most unlikely alternative. It's almost as if it is showing off how exotic it can be. It's not even a matter of my own misspelling. The app itself chooses strange alternatives. I'm ready to delete the app and find another. SwiftKey was great when I first used it a few years ago. I've come back to it and am really frustrated.
Hi am having the same problems.
It's on certain web forums and contact forms on websites. This one is okay by the way.
It's messing up words. You type the first letters. Tab autocorrect word and it's pasting two words together.
So it looks like browser related. Deleted the cache and history.
Reinstalled SwiftKey
Version 6.7.5
Android 8.0
The same in Polish language. Autocorrect is off but wrong words are inserted into text. Correct word is replaced by wrong.
Android 8.0, SwiftKey v 6.7.6.19 - HTC, the same on Android 7.0 on Samsung J5
Any solution?
Just started having the same problem here a few days ago. Autocorrect is off, and it keeps inserting wrong words at random. When selecting the correct word in the top, it inserts the wrong word again.
Moto X Play, Android 7.1.1, Swiftkey 6.7.6.20.
Already tried to clear all data and reinstalling
I see no support from SwiftKey :(
Nope... The only comments from SwiftKey on most posts are that you have to give more information on OS SwiftKey version etc.
But even that they won't ask....
It's ridiculous...
I gave all possible information and no info from them.
We're looking into it, probably related to Chrome V64.
If you have video clips to share that would be great, because at this moment I cannot reproduce the problem. Images/videos explain themselves much better than texts.
Thank you
It is not related with Chrome v64 becouse I have this problem for not less than 3-4 months. I am sure that there were a lot of Chrome versions during this time.
This is very strange and the problem is visible in each android app where you can use keyboard - facebook app, Textra and other.
Cleanin app data, cache don't solve problem. What I can do to check is to install very previous version of Swiftkey to check if it is OK.
Thanks for the extra info, the older posts are posted at least an half a year ago, that's why I suspect it.
Can you share a video clip about it? It would be very useful.
I found some info here. And from what I understand it has to do with the rich text editor on forums.
It describes exactly the problem.
And A while editied this posst i have the sasa proprobl as you see.

Hi Alpert, I am experiencing the issue and made you guys a screen vid:
https://youtu.be/0pmZ5N_b7CU
Good luck solving the issue.
What I noticed - sometimes there is no problem during a really long period. But sometimes its impossible to write anything without bugs. Bigger problem is to write correctly on Facebook and Chrome (Disqus for example). Messenger has problem only sometimes. The same in Textra. Sometimes problem with replacing words is really huge problem but for example today I tried to record it but I cannot see any mistakes.
Strange.
For the issue Berit is having, if this is the same issue. It's an issue with Chrome. We already have a fix in the works that is in beta.
Main thread can be found here: https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000531205-SwiftKey-not-working-with-Chrome-jumbles-words-?page=1#community_comment_360000037909
Yes, I have tested with Beta version. And the bug is solved!!
Thanks!!
Downloaded tne beta
For me the issue is slighlty different, the keyboard also keeps suggesting and auto correcting to the wrong words. But for some reason about 10% of the times, it suggests the following three words: SwiftKey Flow 3.
So ten percent of the time these are the three words showing above my keys as suggestions.
Still problem with the keyboard. I tried to correct wrong word after self changed by keyboard but I couldn't stand right behind this word. It happend in Messenger.
Do you know where is the problem with SwiftKey or not?
Same problem. Prediction Inserts wrong word. Frustrating.
Chrome version 65.03
Android 8.0
ALPERT do you any news for us? Nothing is changed and this bug still existing. Do you have any solution?
We are waiting really long time for solution.
There seems to be a mix of different issues here. At this point, please go here to submit a ticket: https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=29942
Be sure to give us your device make model and OS. Current SwiftKey version # and any photos, videos showing the issue.
This issue seems to be odd, so it seems like a video would be most helpful here.
There is a free app called AZ screen recorder that I recommend downloading to use.
Thanks,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your reply, but in my reaction above I've posted a video, as requested by Alpert the moderator. Nor Alpert nor anyone from the SwiftKey-team or has responded to it.
Kind Regards,
Berit
Internet is full of opinions about problem with prediction in SwiftKey. I see these opinions since early 2017, even before I started to have the same problem.
For me this is strange becouse you all seem to be suprised by this problem. I have there phones with SwiftKey installed and each one has the same problem.
And its not easy to record this situation becouse sometimes I can't see any problem during really long time.
@Berit,
I think Ryan replied to your issue. It's linked to the Chrome update and we've fixed it.
