Microsoft SwiftKey iOS Support Forums

Your app is great, but I can’t use it because it won’t let me change photo themes from one to another. I have several themes but as I can’t change photos I am stuck with using the same theme all the time. It is very irritating. Can anyone help me with this problem?

I've installed SwiftKey and given it full access on my iPad mini 5th generation. But flow won't work. 

I've checked every step of the installation instructions and even some things that aren't mentioned. I've compared the installation on the iPad with the installation on my iPhone, where flow does work. I've found no clues at all.

It's an iPad mini 5th generation running IOS 13.13.1 (current version).

Anyone got ideas?

I realy like SwiftKey.

It is one of the best.

But.

I am not always typing in english somewhere on the internet, i also write texts. In german.

And for german. SwiftKey right out sucks.

It is the worst thing i ever saw.

1) It has not german layout at all.

Why not?

Your popover selection window is ... horrible ... compared to real keys.

Let me show:

This is from the Apple keyboard.

But your's simply refuses to offer the proper keys!

Can you please finally fix this?

2) As a crude workaround, you offer some horribly popover menu

Now, this can only be a workaround, it is not usable for someone writing in german!

But anyway, this thing is wrongly configured for German!

If you hover over an "a" you get the pop-up, but the next key up is again the "a"!

The "ä" which you are searching for is far to the right, you need to search it in a long list.

The fix is easy: Just set the "ä" as the first character shown above your finger, when you long press!

Cannot understand why this is still not fixed.

But please don't forget: The popover is only a workaround. We still need a proper german layout as shown above!

I just upgraded to v 2.7.1 on my iPhone 5c. This resulted in the SwiftKey keyboard not filling the full width of the screen. (see screen shot below - note the gray region on the left/right edge of the keyboard).

Is it possible to fix this bug in the next release?

Thanks!

I want to type chinese simplified, using Pinyin AND Handwriting

To my dismay SwiftKey doesn't let me add a second typing method, it apparently only allow you to "set" oneAppvalley

Am I missing something here and begin dumb or is this an oversight on the development team thinking 1 input method will be enough and no one will ever need a second input methodTweakbox

Right now I am using like Simplified Chinese(PinYin), Traditional Chinese(Handwriting), it works but it's really annoying...

Probably going to try another keyboard app that's more versatile, dont get me wrong SwiftKey is nice and cool, but it's the little things that gets us.https://vlc.onl/.

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.https://vlc.onl/

Random gibberish: if I'm in the middle of swiping a word and (god forbid) I happen to swipe the tiniest amount o Appvalley ver 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).

Tweakbox 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?

I'm using Swiftkey on two different phones (Sony Xperia X Compact and Xperia XZ1 Compact), but for some reason it's not working as seamlessly on the newer phone although the versions are the exact same.Appvn

My main gripe is that autocorrect doesn't apply the correct spelling on pressing the space bar as it used to, and I find myself having to select it manually in the suggestions bar.UC Browser

Another annoying thing is that after selecting a corrected spelling, it inserts a space that stays there if I then write a punctuation mark, "like this ."

Any option in settings likely to fix these issues? Thank you.SHAREit

Hey guys, I use another platform but today I tried to help grandpa with his first Android phone. it came with pre-installed GBoard which has too small keys for him (even though the screen is large). I looked up the best keyboard - Swiftkey - installed, refused to create an accohttps://www.7zip.vip/ unt (what for?), changed the keyboard size. it's better but I am still unhappy as the keys are bigged but the letters are still small, half of each key is taken by a symbol. He dhttps://scrabblewordfinder.vip/ oesn't need this and I couldnhttps://www.applock.ooo/ 't find out how to change this. Is this doable or should I rather google Best keyboards for retired people?

Thank You

Hi,

I normally setup 2 languages in Swiftkey.

If the 2 languages have the same keyboard layout (both being QWERTY), i don't seem to be able to change layouts/languages via the SPACE bar. I keep on pressing but no popup appears to change it.

Therefore, i'm not able to change the typing language of switfkey.

Is this intentional?

If i select two different layouts for the 2 languages (QWERTY and QWERTZ for example) then i can switch languages (layouts) via SPACE bar fine.

I can type in 2 languages parallel, but iOS13 mail app keeps underlining the words as spelling errors when not being in the correct language/layout and in the iOS13 mail app it is impossible to turn off spell checking as of today.

It is extremely frustrating. Why can't i choose between languages with the SPACE bar if those have same keyboard layout? Crazy.

Also to be noted, that if i have 2 different layouts set (QWERTY and QWERTZ) and press on the SPACE bar to change, after the change is successful, it is not reflected on the Space bar script, any setting i use EN HU is not changing to HU EN. I would assume that the language i use shall be reflected on the space bar.

Regards,

Balazs

Does Swiftkey have a true French Canadian keyboard?

This is a QWERTY keyboard with French accents changing some keys. For example, the key with / and ? on the lower right in an English keyboard, on the French-Canadian keyboard is é and É. 

I am using an external keyboard and want to hide the Swiftkey keyboard, but show the word prediction bar.  Doesn’t sound like much, but on the bar you can see the ios text replacements you have entered.  While showing the keyboard, I can type a short combination of letters and/or numbers, which ios translates to a whole paragraph.  I use this quite often filling in templates and sending emails, but it is annoying to see this huge keyboard that takes up a large portion of the screen.

On my Android phone, I had the option to use spacebar to insert the autocorrected word, rather than tap the word. Now that I have switched to Iphone, that option doesn't appear to be available any more. Can someone help me out on this, as it greatly reduces typing speed. 

Thanks

Hi,

Using Swiftkey in the iOS 13 Mail app with iPhone Xr, the keyboard now takes up so much screen space that there's not much room for editing the text! I've had to switch off the number row (which I really like) to save space, because the new iOS editing bar/row (whatever it's called), can't be hidden like it can with the native keyboard. Any ideas? Anyone agree this is an issue? 

Also, although I now only have Swiftkey enabled, so that there is no Globe/Global key at the bottom, there is still about 1cm of empty space on the screen between the bottom of the space bar and the home bar/line at the bottom of the screen. Is there any way this space could be reclaimed, I wonder?

Thanks for any ideas or comments.

iOS 13.2.2 but same issue since iOS 13

Ever since my XS max update to iOS 13, the keyboard default won't stay constant.  I've moved the top keyboard around within Settings General Keyboards, but SwiftKey at the top typically will not come up as default.  Worked fine prior to the iOS updates.  Not sure what to do.

iPhone 6S, 13.1.3, latest SwitfKey.

Running iMessage, if I lock phone (not power down, just sleep) and then unlock the phone (or receive a message) the keyboard will default to the emoji page of the Apple keyboard. It's been doing this since iOS 13 arrived. Very frustrating to have to switch back to Swiftkey so frequently.

A search for anyone else with this problem only turned up one question on Reddit with no replies.

Any ideas or fixes for this?

Swiftkey, while being a superb app (using both on iOS and Android), does not support my native Armenian on iOS and the keyboard layout options on Android are quite limited.

The major keyboard layouts for Armenian language are Armenian Eastern, Armenian Western and Armenian Phonetic.

Armenian Eastern (used by people in Republic of Armenia):

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdarme.html

Armenian Western (used by people in Armenian diaspora):

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdarmw.html

Armenian Phonetic (used by people lacking computer skills and migrating from the old KDWin software for Windows PC):

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdarmph.html

I would be very thankful if you implemented these options in the iOS and Android versions of the app. Thank you in advance.

I am having this problem where it doesn't matter what theme I choose, the buttons are all yellow... the only thing that works is choosing the transparent buttons option, but I would like to actually have button outlines.

Hi,

I have been using Swiftkey on Android, and then switched to IOS for 2 years now but there is still NO language support for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.

I am not sure if there is even a support team here as I have wrote in few times, and saw similar posts on the forum but no action was taken even after so long.

It has been nice using it but I have found a better alternative which is GBoard so I hope you will further improve your features and Customer Support so you are able to keep your current user base at the very least.

Peace Out

Looked all over but can't find any info on how to turn off the paste feature. Every time I copy some text, Swiftkey offers to paste it via one of the slots in the prediction bar. 

How can I turn this feature off?

I already have Clipboard turned off in settings but this doesn't stop this annoyance.

Please help.
