Microsoft SwiftKey iOS Support Forums

Hello,
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.

Bonjour,
Je viens de passer d’un Smartphone Android à un iPhone SE 2020 iOS 12, mais je n’arrive pas à configurer mon clavier Swiftkey de façon à faire apparaitre les caractères spéciaux au-dessus de chaque lettre alphabétique comme je le faisais sur Android..

J’arrive à faire apparaitre uniquement les chiffres au-dessus de la 1re ligne alphabétique. Je sais que les caractères spéciaux sont aussi accessibles en appuyant sur la touche "123" puis sur la touche "+=#" si je veux utiliser le tiret du bas "_" par exemple mais ce n'est vraiment pas pratique, alors que sur mon clavier Swiftkey Android, I just have to stay and press sur la touche "W" pour faire le tiret du bas "_" !

Pouvez-vous m’aider à configurer mon clavier Swiftkey sur mon iPhone SE 2020 iOS 12 comme sur mon Android s’il vous plait.
Je vous place une capture d’écran du clavier Swiftkey de mon Android sur laquel les caractères spéciaux au-dessus des lettres que je veux faire apparaitre sur mon clavier Swiftkey d’iPhone sont encadrés en rouge.
Merci.

Warum gibt es bei Swiftkey für iOS keine Umlaute in der deutschen Tastatur?

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this frustration, but SwiftKey almost never finds the emoji I'm looking for when I try to search. Examples: try "yawn" 🥱 or "mask" 😷

Why the IOs version is so below the Android version ???
I NEED the BÉPO layout. It is my keyboard since so many years, Azerty has become a no-brainier for me.
I very happily use Swifkey on android since 2012 and now that I have the newest Ipad pro, I have to switch to en expansive low quality app in order to have my good ergonomic, scientifically engineered layout.
How difficult could it be to add it on the IOs version ?
Thank you very much for considering it.

I'm learning Chinese and Russian and was very happy with the SwiftKey keyboard on my Android phone as I could easily switch between the two keyboards and found them much easier to use than the native keyboard. However, since moving to an iPhone, I'm really disappointed to find that Chinese is not available in the iOS version of SwiftKey. Is there any reason for this?? Are the plans to enable it??

Many thanks for a Swift response. 

Hi, long-time Android Swiftkey user that switched to iPhone a year ago (11 Pro Max). Was thrilled when cursor control was added in, but ever since the addition, I've never gotten it to activate predictably. If I hold spacebar before typing any text, it activates properly. If I type a few characters, probably all good. But usually once I enter a word or two, a long-press does nothing. Haven't been able to find any info online about this, and none of the recent patches have changed anything. Any suggestions?

PS: I only have 1 language selected, and I have reinstalled multiple times.

Update: Upon further experimenting, it seems that hitting backspace before holding spacebar always makes it work. Hmm...

I'm running into a weird issue with SwiftKey voice to text on iOS (version 2.8): every time i pause momentarily it adds a period '.' as though it think i finished a sentence. I speak pretty quickly and my paragraphs are just filled with short sentences and periods. It also occasionally puts up question marks when its not a question. Has anyone encountered this? Is there a way i can disable auto punctuation on voice to text?

Thank you!

I have swiftkey version 2.7.8 on iPhone (ios 13.5) and ipad (ipados 13.5).
On iPhone the layout features a multipurpose punctuation key to the right of the space bar, which I find very useful. On the ipad this position is given to a second key to switch to numeric keyboard, which I do not need. How can I get the multipurpose punctuation key on ipad?

I've bought new iPhone SE 2. I've made synchronisation from old iPhone SE (iOS 12.4) to new iPhone SE 2 (iOS 13.4.1). SwiftKey has been automatically installed with full access and SwiftKey Flow turned on (done automatically via iOS synchronisation). When I've tried to write some word in any type of application with SwiftKey set as primary keyboard, the SwiftKey Flow seemed to have problems with gesture recognition and keyboard was shaking all the time like it can't figure out words.

Only fix that I've been able to come up was to uninstall manually SwiftKey and install from App Store and set access rights in the settings again.

I have a new iphone since a few days, the Iphone 11 pro max & ios 13 was pre-installed. But when SwiftKey is installed, none of the Android 10 emoji shows up, i just have the emojis up to Android 9. Without they keyboard the emojis are showing up. A known person of mine uses SwiftKey on Fmwhatsapp in Android 10 too and her emojis are all showing up but she has a Huawei P30. Is this problem devide-specific? What can i do that the emojis will show up? I don't want to have wasted my money on the new phone, SwiftKey is the only keyboard i can deal with..

Hi, the update 2.7.8 is blocking the layout for physical connected keyboards on iOS. I have a german keyboard which only uses the english layout and I cannot change it in the system settings. with prior versions the „Automatic“ setting works great, iOS recognises the correct Layout of my original Apple Smart Keyboard Folio on my iPad Pro. If I remove the SwiftKey keyboard in the iOS settings or change my virtual keyboard to toe original Apple keyboard before I use my physical keyboard all is working normal and I can use my german keyboard with the correct layout. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!

Would someone please get in here and remove all the "magic-spell-potion-witchcraft-herbal" posts? They're making it impossible to use thebforum!!!

Thank you.

Как настроить SwiftKey ios почту на Huawei honor 7A почту шрифт 

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!
