Remove the prediction bar option
Not plannedHi! I have a lil' bit of a problem here... I've been using your app on and off for several years now (for some reason on my older phones it came preinstalled and without an option to uninstall it so i had to remove updates and disable in case of not using it).
It's a nice app but it lacks one very important option... the one where you can remove that freaking crappy suggestion bar that eats from my display when i type messages.. I've tried changing to my language but I never use it..
On the first screenshot is that useless bar with the autocorrect off and on the second it's the keyboard without a language selected (an even bigger mess).
I know that you guys want my/our data badly and try to scoop it little by little, but at least for those 0.1% of us that find it completely useless at least give us the option to BURN AND DESTROY the living hell of it... For the time being i'll go and try to find some other keyboard that hopefully has that option regardless of how unsafe it is but it would be nice to hear back from you guys.
Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear you do not find the prediction bar helpful. This is one of the main selling points of SwiftKey. We pride our products on next word predictions, which are accessed via that bar.
So at this time, there is no way to turn it off. While this may come in the future, I don't see it happening.
If you don't sign into your SwiftKey Account, no data leaves your device.
I think not letting users to remove this annoying bar is just a discrimination.
Hello Lev Anni, thank you for your feedback. Currently, SwiftKey Keyboard does not provide an option to turn off the 'Prediction Bar'. We will certainly pass your feedback to our teams for future improvement. Thank you for your support!
Hari,
Thanks a lot for your reply!
Honestly, it's a great feature but only when you really need it, otherwise it wastes a lot of space, specially for users with smaller display.
Great keyboard!!
