Probably 85% of the mistakes I have to correct are the result of hitting the period key instead of the space bar. Can we have an option to move it, or make it a hard-press or long-press, or.....something. It's my only significant problem with an otherwise outstanding keyboard. Thanks much.

Unwanted multi language predictions
10 votes
9 comments
I have English (QWERTY) and Farsi languages installed. Prior to today I could choose between English and Farsi but now I have Farsi and English/Farsi. With the latter I get predictions in both languages and I don't want this. How can I get back to having English and Farsi separately?

[Feature Request] - Number row for iOS
10 votes
7 comments
I used an Android Nexus 5 for many years with swiftkey. I really liked the keyboard layout with the numbers on top row and symbols among the letters, where you press a bit longer to get the number or symbol.
I switched to an iPhone and immediately put swiftkey on thinking it would be the same, but no. The numbers and symbols are hidden in another keyboard. I hate this. I always end up hunting for a symbol I'm looking for.
The Android way is just so much more intuitive. Is there some setting on iOS/swiftkey that gives the Android type keyboard? I went thru all the settings but couldn't find anything.

Ability to Search Emojis
10 votes
1 comment
Hello Swiftkey:
A feature that I really miss from other keyboards (such as Gboard) is the ability to search emojis. I really love this feature and I think its better than emoji prediction. Please add this is a close future update!
Yes, the lack of this feature would be enough to make me switch keyboards, but I really like Swiftkey.
Thanks!

[Feature Request] Add windows 10 support
10 votes
13 comments
I like and use Your keyboard primarily for the Android but also for the Apple. L
On the other hand I purchased on IBM Surface tablet and was very discouraged to find they support almost no usable on screen keyboards.
I can give you the list of features of your keyboard that they don't support, and of course some features that I'd like you to add.
But the major thing I would like to do is ask why you, as a subsidiary of Microsoft, can not convince them to allow you to have an alternate keyboard for their Windows 10 Surface tablets.
Note: I would be perfectly willing to pay for a 'Pro' version if that's what takes to get it your software moved over to their package
Thanks...

Can I make swiftkey switch automatically to incognito mode whenever I open specific apps or windows? Such as incognito tabs in Chrome and Firefox.
Otherwise, is there a (non root) 3rd party app that can do it?

&, %, @, etc. Symbols on iPhone ABC Keyboard
9 votes
4 comments
I tried switching to iPhone earlier this year, and tried Swiftkey and Google Keyboard Apps on it. It is maddening having to switch to the SYM screen and back to the ABC screens.In Android, a delayed 'press' on a number key brings up a symbol like &, %, @, etc. Much more efficient!Will Apple iOS not their keyboards to do this? If not, why? If they did, I would switch back.(Apple's embedded keyboard doesn't even provide numbers across the top...at least Swiftkey does)Since the keyboard is the main source for input on a smartphone, I've chosen stay with Android.Thanks, -
Data not synced to new phone
9 votes
10 comments
I got a new phone and installed the app and signed in with the account that I was using on my old phone. However, after running the sync operation, none of my old predictions are showing up. I still have my old phone and I'm able to confirm that both of them have backup and sync configured and both of them are signed in with the same account ID. Any suggestions?

Sync & backup *all* pinned CLIPBOARD clips & keyword shortcuts for them (or at least: optional Import/Export as .txt or .xml) ACROSS phones!
9 votes
9 comments
I use SwiftKey on multiple phones. Same login / account.
They should all be able to add new clips but also have ability to SEE clips added from different phones (same SwiftKey user!)
I'm speaking about - SYNC.
Our clipboards clips AREN'T BACKED UP AND SYNCED.
I have so many of them set-up. Do u know how much TIME I have spent setting Pinned clipboard clips and shortcuts up, just to lose them all? :(
Please, SwiftKey team, SYNC them.
Or at least, give option to export and import! (XML, TXT, whatever - as long as Import exists, too!)
I lose so much of my hard work because you DON'T backup/sync clipboard content and pinned items and shortcuts ACROSS PHONES, when SwiftKey account is the same...
I once lost my phone and bought another, enabled SwiftKey and NONE OF MY CLIPS were saved. :((((Such a big disappointment!
Please give this HIGH priority, PLEASE.
Kindest regards, Helen
PS. Do you, other fellow SwiftKey users, agree that there should be Backup & Sync (and/or Import / Export) of our Clipboard's clips?Pinned ones, especially!

Kaomoji Support (Japanese Emoticons)

Have been looking for a keyboard that has it all and SwiftKey works for me for the most part. But it's kind of annoying how I have to switch to a different keyboard every now and then to enter kaomoji or Japanese emoticons like these - (๑•̀д•́๑)ʅʕ•ᴥ•ʔʃ
Would be really nice if these could be made default or as an add on in the SwiftKey keyboard -

Stop capitalization of "i" in non-English languages
9 votes
1 comment
When I use both English and Swedish language in SwiftKey it constantly auto capitalizes "i" even though I have selected the Swedish language/keyboard.
If I only have Swedish language/keyboard it doesn't do this. But I like to switch between English and Swedish, so having a single language enabled is not an option.
Please correct this bug, it's really annoying to constantly have to correct this when writing in Swedish.
I have noticed that this topic has been brought up for several years, maybe it's time to fix it? -
SPACE AFTER PERIOD ISSUE

Is there a way to stop the automatic space after a period?
Most of my typing is in regards to IP addresses, email address and the like.
Most of the time I do not want a space following the period. Perhaps an option in the settings area would help.

R rated search keyword results for Gifs

For all of us concerned adults, I noticed the latest update now blocks or significantly limits R rated search keyword results. Wouldn't the implementation of a user selectable filter make more sens? It's a deal breaker for me if I can no longer message my friends with R rated gifs.

Symbol layout
9 votes
3 comments
Please add customization options for the symbol keyboard layout. The SwiftKey one is totally unintuitive - the normal symbol layout that's been in use for years didn't need reinventing, and it's one of the ways the standard Google keyboard is clearly superior for my use. The new layout completely trips up long-standing muscle memory for no discernable benefit.

Random letters, spaces and gibberish words.
9 votes
26 comments
In this post I'm going to leave in errors in quotations and some corrected words as parentheticals to show "t" what's going on. Reading this post will probably be about as "r" frustrating as it is typing it out. I'm pretty sure this issue started within the past week, "u it" (but) random letters "go Vila" words and "r flags t" (spaces) began to pop up when "r t" using the flow "y y toxin" (function) of the keyboard. Sometimes it will even put in random gibberish words, and "y hovering" (sometimes) I just "have to u" give up and manually touch type things in.
Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how to fix it?
I'm currently using a galaxy S7 (not the edge version).

Add a delete key (delete to the right)
9 votes
18 comments
Would love the option to include a delete key on top of the present backspace key. A lot of efficiency gains could be had by allowing me to delete rather than having to tap and move precisely in order to use the backspace key.
Tldr: have the keys that allow me to delete going right or left.

How to change keyboard layout to my own custom layout
9 votes
15 comments
Hello, SwiftKey is the best keyboard, but the qwerty layout has flaws, as well as all the other keyboard layouts for thumb typing.
I have made my own layout, and want to test it out on SwiftKey :). Is there any way to add my own layout into the language select screen? Maybe if I rooted my phone?
I am willing to relearn a layout, and it's really easy for me to do. I want one which allows me to be sloppy and have really good autocorrect. I can text without looking, but every time I look at my screen, I see the same errors caused by certain keys being too close.
So yeah, I made my own layout, and if it's not perfect, I have an idea for writing a program which can figure out a better layout, and I will continually test each new layout.
And yes I've tried LOADS of android keyboards and also different layouts(qwerty, colemak, dvorak, azerty, etc). Swiftkey is the best for autocorrection, and the smartest so far.
I'm currently using JBak keyboard with my own layout, but it's autocorrect is rubbish.
Why go to so much hassle? because I know it's possible to text without looking at my screen, and I like being able to look up at the world whilst texting at a fast speed, followed by a quick proof read.

Way to customize GIF sources

I find that the source that SwiftKey uses to find GIFs is lacking. There are a lot of sources on other apps that have more relevant GIFs, that you cannot find using SwiftKey. Is there a way to add certain sites/sources to the GIF search functionality in SwiftKey?

Hi.
An error has occurred, and therefore, difficulties arise when using the built-in translator in the keyboard. Constantly writes: "Something went wrong. Restart the Translator." This error occurs when I want to spell a word, or a sentence not in English. Help me please.

Why SwiftKey hasn't fixed the cursor control issue on non 3D Touch devices yet?
8 votes
3 comments
We came upon non 3D Touch devices as Apple has completely abandoned the technology, bringing haptic feedback. On devices with small screens, such as the iPhone, is easier to handle the lack of cursor control (although iOS native keyboard does the trick very nicely), but it is terrible on the iPad. SwiftKey is, hands down, the smartest keyboard there is - and it's exactly why it is so hard to understand why they didn't come up with a solution.

Swiftkey Backup Problem
8 votes
16 comments
Hello. My problem is about backup and sync. First I have to tell you these. 5 years ago I was using LG G3, and I moved on iPhone 6 Plus and I was able to use my old predictions. And then I moved on Xiaomi Mi 8, I was still be able to use all my learned data. And now I changed my phone to Oneplus 7 pro, and in the app I cannot see any of my learned data.
https://data.swiftkey.com/view-data in this website I can see my learned data, the words that I use most before on the other phones, but they won't show up on my new phone. 5-6 years of learned data was making my life easier but now I am not happy to use this app. So question is what should I do? -
