  • About vibration problem Answered

    How can i deactivate vibration on typing characters?

  • Is it possible to change some/all auto spacing behavior around punctuation?
    2 votes 42 comments

    I'm a huge fan of SwiftKey and have been using it off and on since it's earliest days. However, one little thing causes me endless frustration.

    I use Google+ a lot. Google+ uses "_", "*" and "-" for formatting. SwiftKey insists and very aggressively putting spaces after - and removing spaces before _.

    _ in particular really frustrates me. With the spaces after - I can just tap backspace and continue, but with_ a battle ensues involving careful hunt and peck to tap just the right spot.

    I don't mind sacrificing all auto spacing but of course I'd prefer to just change those in particular. Any hope for me?

  • [Not a bug] No prediction in Excel cells Answered
    5 votes 39 comments

    Hi,

    i've been using Swiftkey for a long time to edit spreadsheets in Excel for Android. After the last update (21/08 if i'm correct) the prediction words on the upper side of the swiftkey keyboard do not show up!

    Before the update the prediction was working flawlessly when i was editing a cell. Did you change that on purpose or is it a bug. I hope it's just a bug because i need the predictions back!

     

    Thank you

  • SwiftKey on Android 5 Lollipop lock screen issue
    1 vote 39 comments

    Hello,

    on Monday I've upgraded my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0 Lollipop official factory image (clean installation). Now, when I recieve a message via WhatsApp and

    hit quick reply in lock screen WhatsApp notification, SwiftKey go crazy and starts to "flicker". There is no other solution but rebooting the phone, which is

    very annoying. I've switched therefore to default Android keyboard and everything works fine. Could anyone confirm that issue?

    Thanks in advance,

    JK

  • Dictionary won't sync
    13 votes 38 comments

    I just switched from the Galaxy S10+ to the Note 10+ and my dictionary won't sync. I see all my words are in the cloud when I look at my account data. When I force a sync it says last synced a minute ago. This is the first time this has happened when I've switched phones. I've cleared the cache, forced sync, uninstalled, reinstalled, force sync and nothing has worked. Is this a bug or am I running into some issues? 

  • Swiftkey emoji icon causes samsung keyboard to crash
    21 votes 38 comments

    I have a s6 which has just updated to Android version 7. I have swiftkey set as my default keyboard and it works fine. However, when I go to type a text message, if I hit the emoji icon on the one line entry field, I get the massage "samsung keyboard has stopped working", even though its set to default and I can see the swiftkey keyboard. I have to disable swiftkey and set back to Samsung in order for it to work again. Any ideas?

  • [Feature Request] Remove the period next to the space bar
    35 votes 38 comments

    I have been using SwiftKey since I first switched to Android about five years ago I do believe the SwiftKey is the best keyboard for Android. One problem I always have had is I constantly go to hit the spacebar and I enter a "." {period} I believe it would be great if I could make the space bar either larger or remove the punctuation key next to the space bar all together. It seems no matter how hard I try if I am typing fast I can't seem to hit that space bar without hitting the period at least once every 25 words. It would be great if even there were certain skins that maybe changed the size of the space bar or remove certain keys. All the other keys I hit by mistake autocorrect takes care of. I still believe screen responsiveness is a lot better on iOS than Android so I don't believe this is really a SwiftKey issue or my typing but SwiftKey does help the shortcomings of this android app issue.

  • iOS keyboard got squished help
    19 votes 33 comments

    My iPad keyboard now looks like the attached picture. It's squished and unusable. I'm not sure what happened. I've tried restarting my iPad and reinstalling Swiftkey but it's still stuck in this weird squished size. To add, I did not touch any settings or anything. I just opened my messaging app one day and the keyboard was this shape. It’s squished in portrait mode as well.

    Help?

  • Keeps replacing "I'm" with "I" even with autocorrect turned off. Answered
    6 votes 33 comments

    I cannot for the life of me get SwiftKey to stop replacing "I'm" with "I". It happens about 50% of the time and makes for some incredibly odd sounding sentences like "hey I going to the store" or "I on my way".

    If I just repeatedly flow "I'm" this happens: "I I'm In I I'm I I'm I I'm I I'm I'm" where it alternates between the two, this is after telling it "do not predict I again".

    I even turned off autocorrect and it STILL does it.

    Device is an AT&T branded Samsung Galaxy S8 running Android 7.0, using SwiftKey Beta 6.6.2.25. Steps to reproduce: try to type (using flow) "I'm".

  • iOS 11
    7 votes 32 comments

    After iOS 11 update yesterday, even though I have SwiftKey set as the top keyboard, with Swiftmoji then the iPhone keyboard at the bottom, it's started opening the iPhone keyboard each time i open any app to type in. It does switch OK to SwiftKey and I can use it as normal then.

    Soon after the update it wouldn't keep on SwiftKey at all, just immediately switched to the iPhone keyboard, but that seems better now.

     

    Any ideas?

  • [Not a SwiftKey Bug] Samsung SMS-emoji icon makes Samsung Keyboard crash Answered
    3 votes 32 comments

    Pressing the emoji icon when writing an SMS (built in function on Samsung Galaxy S6) makes the Samsung Keyboard to crash while using Swiftkey. This hasen't been a problem until the new update came out for the phone about a week ago.

    You have to restart your phone, and uninstall Swiftkey to prevent the notification from popping up, you can't use the keyboard otherwise. 

    I've tried other keyboard apps and some of them have the same issue.

    I really love Swiftkey and I've used it for many years. Can you please come up with a fix, the problem is EXTREMLY annoying. 

    Thanks!

  • No recent emoji [Not a SwiftKey bug] Answered

    Since installing SwiftKey on my new galaxy S8, my recently used emoji are not being saved. When I switch back to Samsung's keyboard they work fine.

    Please advise!

  • Emoji search (as in Gboard)
    27 votes 31 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.



  • Stop period/dot from forcing a space after it
    32 votes 30 comments

    Currently using latest beta.  I am a technical / computer person and therefore my writing vocabulary often includes things with period/dots in them that are not words (i.e.  e.g.  192.168.1.1 www.vcu.edu and so-on).  The constant forced auto-insertion of a space when I am trying to use a period as a dot, not as punctuation, is driving me crazy and often forces mangled/incorrect emails, texts, etc.  I thought turning on the option to insert a period by double-tapping the space bar would turn that off - it did not.

    I seem to recall in a previous version of Swiftkey there was the ability to turn off the dot/period from forcing a space after it.

     

    I think when I tried another keyboard (GBoard?) it did not do that.  However, I am used to the way Swiftkey works and would hate to switch to something else....

  • Arabic layout is messed up for longpress characters
    7 votes 30 comments

    Hey,

    I started using SwiftKey this past month after testing it out on my new phone and I think I'm sticking with it. But one thing I loathe about it is how all the characters on the Arabic keyboard are scattered around with no logical connection between them, I'm not talking about the main letters but the ones you get when you long press a letter.

    Let me give you an example, in both Google's GBoard and Apple's keyboard and probably every keyboard out there when you long-press on the letter Alif (ا), the equivalent of A, you'd get all the variations أإآء... But SwiftKey kind of have them scattered around like on a physical keyboard which is not very thoughtful. This leaves me either guessing or using an ugly theme with all the letters shown.

    This problem is present on both the main beta releases of the keyboard on iOS and Android.
