  • How do I establish choice emoji predictions, and stop the trip-wire emoji "unlearn" from removing my favorite emoji predictions, as it malfunctions blatantly stressing me cruelly as the "yes" or "no" malfunctions and removes emoji anyway!!! HELP!!
    0 votes 1 comment
    In the middle of texting happily, while I tap accepting a specific heart, the system "trip wires" and goes spontaneously ahead and asks me if I want to remove the emoji from the learned list, and upon the "yes" and "no" option, doesn't give me the time needed to reply with my choice, and cruelly goes ahead, and before I even know it, it blatantly says :"learned word (or emoji) is now removed from the list", without even giving me the chance to go back!! 😢 😭 and I loose the choice emoji prediction, and no way of re-teaching my choice prediction!!!! Please help me reteach my choice predictions, and stop the very swift "trip wire" removal of my preferred emoji predictions!!! Please note that I have searched and searched and searched, but there are NO tutorials for this problem, and anyway, the trip wiring problem seems to be a UI failure or malfunction making it extremely user-unfriendly for persons with disabilities or if high age. I feel that this is absolutely a malfunction problem that needs software engineers to correct, and a clear cut way to relearn and re-establish the cruelly removed emoji, as the system "trip wires" and in a matter of split seconds takes it for granted that the emoji has to be removed without my permission!!!!!! It doesn't even accept a "no" for an answer, and leaves me without the choice emoji, and NO INDICATED WAY to re-establish the choice emoji. It clearly malfunctions and does not even listen to a "no" for an answer, but just goes ahead and removes the emoji anyway, like a runaway train with no brakes!! Please help me also with the re-learning process so I could quickly re-establish my lost emoji!!! PLEASE HELP!! NO TUTORIALS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS THIS MALFUNCTION!! Gbu!!
  • Use SwiftKey with Teams Android App
    1 vote 3 comments

    I have SwiftKey selected as my default keyboard on my android phone. When I go into teams and chat the keyboard is the stock teams keyboard and does not behave like SwiftKey. Is there a way to use SwiftKey while using the teams android app? I can not find the option within the app.

  • parola con apostrofo o troncamento
    3 votes 15 comments

    Salve,
    vorrei capire come memorizzare termini. In pratica la tastiera swiftkey non memorizza il termine <po'>, che in italiano è il troncamento di poco ed è un termine molto utilizzato. Nella lingua italiana <po> non esiste. Esiste <Po> maiscolo, cioè il fiume Po.
    E' un problema che posso risolvere in autonomia?
    Grazie

  • El teclado se ejecuta pero no se ven las letras

    Instalé el teclado en android 11 y abre la aplicación pero no se ven ;as letras, sólo la barra superior de predicción de palabras. Además se demora mucho al querer escribir, como que se traba la aplicación. Qué debería hacer para que se muestre todo el teclado?  Equipo: Red Magic 6R, Android 11, pais Colombia (57).

  • How can I edit/remove menu bar
    2 votes 3 comments
    I've recently updated the app and really dislike the new menu bar. I have zero need to use a language translator or bing. Or a big history of things I've copy and pasted before. It's annoying as I keep catching it when typing. Is there anyway to get rid of these functions? I'd rathe have emicons and gifs as we're there before. I'm on the verge of deleting the app and finding one that isn't full of useless functions.

  • Support Android 11 Auto-fill API

    Why doesn't SwiftKey support the new Android 11 Auto-fill APi for passwords?! It's been almost 1 year since Google announced the feature. Gboard supports it.
  • SwiftKey default dictionary is extremely poor [Polish]
    3 votes 6 comments

    In general I find SwiftKey one of the best tools ever for an Android phone. But the weakest link of it is... the dictionary. Sometimes it takes me much more time for me to use SwitftKey than to type words manually. 

    The Polish dictionary is soooo poooor, that it makes it sometimes next to impossible to type fluently. I am under impression that more word variations are missing than present.

    How can I connect to something more robust? It does not have to be free as I am desperate. 

    I can barely remember such issues with Gboard where 95% of words could be found just like this! in SwiftKey - 50-60% perhaps.

    Please advise!

  • Suggestions for toggle options
    0 votes 1 comment
    I have skme gripes that my only option to produce these results is to switch to a different keyboard. Here are some options that should be added: When you select a period "." to enter in a decimal number it wont auto snap to the previous word. Example: I made. 54% progress instead of. 9% Another suggestion is to remove certain saved words. I don't need the app auto correcting my correct words to a spelling error I made way too many time. Example, 8n instead of in. Another suggestion, remove the deleting of spaces at the end of the sentence after pressing the return key. In certain apps like reddit if you press the return key to go to a new line it will delete an extra space at the end of the previous line. This causes issues when an app determines a new line based on whether or not there is a space at the end of the last word. Because all are removed, it will be seen as not putting a space or an end line and it will just concat the first word of the next paragraph to the previous word. This may be app specific since it only applies when new line using the return key is not seen as a character. But removing a ton of spaces requires me to mash the space bar 3 or 4 times to make sure there are spaces at the end.
  • swiftkey is actually deleting spaces after I manually add them?
    -1 votes 5 comments

    Hi folks,

    Recently Swiftkey has started behaving strangely. At first I thought it was just a case of 'auto space' being turned off somehow (although I didn't do that) - but then (after totally failing to find any way to turn auto space on or off - despite following multiple online instructions) I realised it's worse than that.

    When I type or flow several words, swiftkey will randomly remove the spaces between them - even if I manually typed those spaces!? Not always, but often enough that I look like a barely literate typer - and this makes the tool completely unusable. I've had to go back to the - totally unintuitive - iOS keyboard.

    Can someone please tell me what's going on, and - more importantly - how to get back to the usual Swiftkey operation that I have come to depend on?

  • "shift keys" / special keys won't show
    2 votes 4 comments

    So I got a new phone, the Xperia XZ3, and I'm trying to make the keyboard show all the special keys, but can't find the setting for it. On my last phone, the XZ, it showed those characters as standard, being greyed out on top of the main keys. They still work tho, if I long press M I get / but it's absurd to have to memorize all of them. Any1 know how to make them appear? Thanks

  • Emoji search (as in Gboard)
    29 votes 33 comments

    It would be quite useful, if there were a way to search for emojis, when the Emoji button has been pressed.

    It should be kind of like how Gboard does it, where you switch to Emoji mode and then you can search (eg. you type "cat" and see the cat emoji 🐈).

    This is a feature request for the SwitfKey Android keyboard; I cannot use Swiftmoji, as it is english only and not available in Switzerland.



  • New to SwiftKey... capitalization question
    0 votes 0 comments

    I'm coming from gboard, and I love the ability to select a word and hit the shift key to cycle through capitalization of the word. Does SwiftKey have the same feature? I tried using the same method, and it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

      
  • Swiftkey increase ergonomics in hand position
    0 votes 0 comments

    I come from being an iOS user and recently bought an android phone a OnePlus6T. I love everything about it, however my thumbs have been really hurting from staying in a downwards position. Is there a way of inserting some space bellow the keyboard?

    I know the screenshot is gboard but its the same case for swift key.

  • [FEATURE REQ] Disable inserting or deletion of space after characters or words
    8 votes 8 comments

    Many Users are not able to efficiently use SwiftKey as tap-to-type due to the errors that occur when spaces are inserted or deleted after certain characters.

    SwiftKey AI will add spaces even when settings for all options are turned off.

    Certain characters require double spaces to be spaced, and 'period' character will have spaces inserted directly after. The frequency of key press affects the displayed result - and it is different each time.

    Data fields without the correct meta-tag will result in SwiftKey behaving differently - cut and paste - may or may not add spaces after. URL may or may not add spaces.

    Pressing 'period' 20 times at a rate of 1 per second will yield a different result to a rate of 3 per second.

    The behavior can be seen when typing an ellipses "..." or open and closed bracket "[ ] " or open and closed braces "{}"
    Textbox tags on sites with it enabled in the textbox will mean that the "@" character will cancel unwanted behavior, and also "#" hash tags.

    The replication of the issue is most apparent for continuous key-press of the period key - as stated above - and shows a lack of set behavior for AI, due to the inconsistencies. Time between key-press for a single character "period" should not yield different results.

    Just create a toggle to disable insertion or deletion of spaces after characters or words.

    This has been an issue for years now, and has constantly been ignored.
    My forum post from yesterday has been ignored and deleted. I cannot find any reference to a post or support ticket posted yesterday.

  • I hate automatic space insertion and deletion.

    People have asked for a a toggle tp shut off automatic space insertion and deletion. I had a glimmer of hope when Microsoft took over, but for some reason they stubbornly refuse to give us control to disable autospace.

  • Just came from Swype and Swiftkey is absolute trash
    -1 votes 1 comment

    I recently moved to Swiftkey from Swype because I just found out the devs have killed it off. Unfortunately the transition has been anything but smooth.

    Random gibberish: if I'm in the middle of swiping a word and (god forbid) I happen to swipe the tiniest amount over the spacebar it will split whatever I'm swiping into two parts of random letters that aren't even English (or part of the intended word).

    Prediction: is absolute garbage. I literally had to swipe over a word, slowly going over each individual letter before it even got close to my intended word

    I swear this app used to better when I tried it years ago. What the hell happened? Am I doing something wrong or does it just now?

  • CAPITALS Changing to lowecase
    -1 votes 1 comment

    Why is Swiftkey changing a word in ALL CAPITALS to a first letter Capitalisation. It never used to do this, and I can't find anything in settings. Oh why was this once wonderful app sold to Microsoft so they could screw it up.

  • Can't remove learned suggestions in Japanese input mode
    4 votes 9 comments

    To remove incorrectly learned suggested words in English input mode, such as misspellings, long pressing the suggestion from the prediction bar correctly gives the option to remove that word.

    However, when in Japanese input mode, long pressing a suggestion simply inputs the text of that suggestion.

    Is there any way to individually remove incorrect suggestions in Japanese input mode?

  • Keep getting autocorrected in one of the most commonly used words
    1 vote 3 comments

    This is gone on long enough. I correctly type No, and swiftkey will either correct this to Jo or KO. 

    I have long-pressed Jo and asked it to never predict it again.

    Checked data.swiftkey.com and it is NOT there. 

    Have English, Spanish and Portuguese as my languages and in all three of them "no" is an extremely common word, and "Jo" means absolutely jack shit. I'm getting sick of this. Swiftkey didn't use to be this stupid before the Microsoft purchase.

  • 文字変換時に単語の間にスペースが自動挿入される機能は不要
    0 votes 0 comments

    日本語で文章入力する際に、単語と単語の間や単語と助詞の間にスペースが入る。

    英文では単語の後にスペースを入れることが必要ですが、日本語の時にはこの機能は不要です。

    この機能の削除をお願いします。

    --

    When entering sentences in Japanese, there are spaces between words and between words and particles. In English, it is necessary to put a space after the word, but in Japanese, this function is not necessary. Please remove this function.

  • New device, app missing in list
    2 votes 1 comment
    I got a new Android phone and used the SmartSwitch function to copy my apps to the new phone. I can choose (and use) SwiftKey, BUT it is not showing up in the list of applications. If I go to the Play store, I only get one button, to "uninstall all updates for this Android system app", but there is no Open button. I have already spent quite some time configuring the keyboard so I would rather not uninstall/reinstall the app... How can I get it to appear in the app list again?
