How do I make special characters appear above each alphabetical letter?

Answered

 Hello, I am french, I just upgraded from an Android Smartphone to an iPhone SE 2020 iOS 12, but I cannot configure my Swiftkey keyboard to display the special characters above each alphabetical letter like I did on Android. . I know that special characters are also accessible by pressing the "123" key then the "+ = #" key if I want to use the underscore "_" for example but it's really not practical, whereas on my Android Swiftkey keyboard, I just have to stay and press the "W" key to make the underscore "_"! Can you help me configure my Swiftkey keyboard on my iPhone SE 2020 iOS 12 as on my Android please. I'm placing a screenshot of my Android Swiftkey keyboard where the special characters above the letters I want to appear on my iPhone Swiftkey keyboard are outlined in red.

Thank you.

    Hi there,

    Microsoft SwiftKey for iOS does not have the option to view special characters above the letters. To access symbols, press the ‘123’ key in the bottom left hand corner of the keyboard.

    Further information: https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/articles/201467601-How-do-I-access-symbols-or-punctuation-

    In the meantime, I will pass your feedback onto our team for further evaluation.

    If you further any questions, please drop us a line here https://aka.ms/sk-support

    Thank you.

    That's annoying.

    That is one of the two problems I am having with SwiftKey. I may have to find a different keyboard.
