  • How do I make special characters appear above each alphabetical letter? Answered
    3 votes 3 comments

     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.

    Good morning, friends, yesterday I bought a phone for my mother. And today she asked me to make the letters on the keyboard bigger. On her old phone, the layout size is smaller, but the font is larger, please add the ability to customize the font size!

    All of a sudden, Voice typing when I say New paragraph, or new line, It pauses, it does not type those words, but it does not Skip two lines for new paragraph, or advance to the next line, when I say new line. Very frustrating. With gboard it still does.
  • Independently resize portrait and landscape Answered
    1 vote 1 comment

    Is it possible to set discreet sizes depending on whether the phone is in portrait or landscape mode? I feel like this used to be an option but I don't see it anywhere.

    If its not possible, this option should be included in a future update. Simply scaling the portrait size for landscape doesn't work very well on taller phones like the OnePlus 8 Pro. 

  • Allow digital signature in emails. Answered
    0 votes 1 comment
    There should be a feature that allows confidential documents to be digitally signed by the Stylus pen using Adobe Sign or Sign Easy mobile app for emails and to have higher levels of encryption for emails like authenticating recipient's identity using biometrics like fingerprint and iris and voiceprint to prevent third party from accessing it illegally without consent. If amendments to the documents are to be made, it needs to ask for permission from the sender or all relevant stakeholders to prevent forgery and illegal tampering of documents. This is to prevent unauthorised disclosure of confidential information.

  • Turn off auto - cursor move Answered
    14 votes 15 comments

    Hi
    The feature that I find the most annoying, and would like the option to turn off, is the auto move of the cursor to the end of the word. When I want to insert/correct a character, I press on the location within the word, and the cursor moves to the end of the word! I have all the arrow keys displayed at the bottom of the keyboard, so pressing on the location & adjusting with the arrow keys is super fast. Except the cursor jumps to the end of the word! I think this feature was added a couple of years ago. It still gets in the way. I haven't found a fast workaround, so an option to turn it off would be much appreciated.

  • Feature request: Text edit, app shortcuts, emoji bar Answered

    I think text edit like gboard will help me write and edit faster. Adding app shortcuts like Fleksy would help me open apps faster. Adding option to show emoji bar which is predicted by SwiftKey would make me type emoji faster.
  • Apple Pencil auxiliary keyboard does not display. Answered
    0 votes 1 comment

    When I tap for the Apple Pencil auxiliary keyboard in ANY app it does not always display. All that I get more often than not is the shaded bar that allows me to move the position of the board. Shutting down and restarting the app/ device does not fix it. It just seems to be luck when it appears.

  • Swiping left to delete works poorly Answered
    0 votes 2 comments
    Hello, SwiftKey keyboard in normal gesture mode allows to delete words with swiping to the left. This works on poco X3 only in approx. 20 percent of the cases as it always needs several tries. My assumption is that it has to do with the display sensivity. It's the same issue on a second poco X3 which I have as well. Regards
  • Symbol entry adds spaces wrongly Answered
    0 votes 14 comments
    There is ZERO reason for a space to be inserted before a colon. Maybe some symbols are ok with an inserted space but never that one. I spend a lot of effort removing spaces added before dashes as well. This has been a problem for YEARS and I would like an explanation as to why you would insert spaces that have to be removed and why you haven't corrected this. I assure you, there is no justification for this keyboard behavior -- it would be much better for users to have to enter the spaces they want before symbols than to remove the ones they don't -- so please make a fix.

  • Haptic Feedback broken since update Answered
    0 votes 2 comments

    Hello everyone, I updated my Swiftkey to version 7.6.9.7 and since then I do not have the standard android haptic feedback on my keystrokes anymore. 

    I tried to enable it via the settings in swiftkey, but only the swiftkeys own haptic feedback is working and I don't want to use those.
    Using the setting "standard android vibration" doesn't do anything anymore. I also tried to restart the phone in case of a bug.

    The system vibration via the samsung settings is enabled for all keyboards. 

    My android version is Android 10 with the latest security patch update from December.

    Thanks!

  • Can't import my account, data, typing behavior, theme, etc. from old phone! Answered
    0 votes 2 comments

    Problem: THREE different account IDs! I can't determine how to log into my old SwiftKey Account on my new Android phone!

     

    Here is the problem: I've been logged into SwiftKey since 2017 when I got my last mobile phone. Let's say, hypothetically, the e-mail address is: abc@gmail.com 

    I click on that e-mail on the account settings/overview of the old phone and it shows me an account ID ending in "AAA" (made-up for simplicity's)

    When I now log into the new phone with the Google Login button (I first assumed I used this option in the past but I can't remember!), I log in with my main Google account which goes by abc@gmail.com. Okay, so the Account ID shown on the new phone ends in "BBB". Obviously, since they don't match, it can't be the right account. Trying to type also appears as if it knows nothing about my typing behavior.

     

    Okay, so that's possible. Next, I try the Microsoft button to log in, as I expected, an account has been created with that abc@gmail.com username, but I log into outlook to check on it and set a password. Here, the account ID is yet another and ends: in "CCC". 

     

     

    I'm running out of ideas. What other way could I have used in the past to login/create my account on SwiftKey? I would very much like to avoid losing all of my data. I don't know how to safely retrieve the cloud data from the old phone. As far as I understand it, there are no local backups or anything I could import myself. Please help.

  • Keys with Both Letters and Numbers Answered
    0 votes 2 comments
    Looking at the keyboard the qwerty row keys (actually ALL rows) have numbers (in the case of qwerty) or symbols on the "top" of each key. Example: I want to enter "7" using the "u" key but have yet to discover how. What have I missed? I have been using SwiftKey for 2 days now and the Number row is UNchecked, which is my preference. The Number position is Left, also my preference.
  • Ipad landscape share from Facebook to text message send button not working Answered
    0 votes 2 comments

    Hi,

    I have an 2020 ipad air with ios 14.3, SwiftKey version 2.8.5 and if I try to share a post from Facebook to a text message while in landscape mode the send arrow is not operational and seems to overlap on the message window. If I rotate the iPad in portrait mode the send arrow works. Please fix this bug, I have been dealing with this for a couple of months but did not get a chance to report it. Thank you.
