Hi guys,

If you've had a really good idea and want SwiftKey to hear all about it, the best way to do that is to submit it via the 'Feature Request' form here:

We look forward to reading all your requests and improvements.

There is no code, and never has been. If you are getting asked for a code, kill TestFlight or try signing out and signing back in and then click the link above again. 

Best,

Please allow a few more optional click sounds for iOS Swiftkey? A computer keyboard press sound would be awesome. Also volume controls for the click sounds? Some of us have hearing  handicaps and would appreciate the extra help to hear the keyboard clicks.

Sincerely,

Ryan

Hi guys,

I thought I'd chime in here before I let SwiftKey go for a while. I've been a very happy user on Android since the beta days, and always loved the concept. I switched to iOS partly because swiftkey was available, but it has always been a struggle on iOS. 

I write different languages (Norwegian and English), but mostly type in English when on the phone. The Norwegian QWERTY-keyboard has additional characters (å, æ, ø) which are used fairly often, but SwiftKey won't let me set this keyboard as standard. If I add English language the English keyboard is set as default, and the mechanism for switching keyboards is broken, and has been for a very long time. 

Have a look at what happens when long-pressing the space button:

This results in me having to uncheck English in the app, and having to open the app > check English every time I want to switch between the languages, a very cumbersome process. 

I've tried pretty much everything to fix this:
- Reinstalled SwiftKey
- Restart phone (iPhone 7, but was apparent on iPhone 6 also)
- Factory reset phone
- Link/unlink from sync servers

No matter what I do, this is the result always, and I'm very fed up. Please fix this! 

Hi team,

At my country (Vietnam). Many people use idevice to work, relax, and more... but have not any keyboard better swiftkey. I love Swiftkey when i used android phone. But i need iphone to use for my work. We had wait for a long time to use Vietnamese language pack on Swiftkey (ios version).

Can you help to add Vietnamese language pack to Swiftkey for IOS ? I think many people will be happy with this decide from you. Thank you very much for read this. We love Swiftkey and waitting for Vietnamese language pack.

it would be nice to at least know WHY Swiftkey is unable to provide a Dvorak keyboard for iOS as they ARE able to do in Android

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.

I just installed version 2.8.4 from App store on iOS 14.1 and couldn't find either marathi or hindi languages for download. I thought Swiftkey had support for Marathi or Devnagri scripts.

Hello,

I noticed a couple notifications in iOS 14 about SwiftKey accessing my clipboard that I can't comprehend. It appears to happen sometimes after beginning to edit a textfield in a 3rd party app but also apparently randomly while browsing 3rd party apps.

I find this especially concerning when it happens after copying a password in a password manager. But also in other contexts it should be comprehensible ofc.

Why does this happen? How can I turn this off???

I've been using Swiftkey on Android since they days when you had to pay for it.  Recently my job forced me to switch over to an iphone.  The difference between the 2 versions is tremendous.  Autocorrect works a lot more poorly but the main gripe I have is that you can't hold down a letter key to get every accent mark associated with it.  Is there a reason for this?  I continue to still use swiftkey since I'm used to the punctuation placement, but just seems weird that it works so poorly in iOS

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!

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!

Hello,

Why does this happen?

Every time I use voice to text on any iOS app, SwiftKey's app opens itself and stays open. It is quite annoying.

For the iOS version 2.8.2 of Swiftkey, it seems that the numeric keypad dot not respect the comma/dot regonal setting of the iOS device, and always shows the dot, even if the language/regional setting of the iOS device specifies a comma as decimal separator. I can long hold the dot to get the comma, but I would like the same option as on the native IOS, that the regional setting defines what the first option is.

Hi Swiftkey Team,

i just switched from Android to iOS and the iOS Stock Keyboard is horrible. I've been using Swiftkey for years (also bought it long time ago) and the usability on Android is awesome :)

When i decided to switch to iOS I was glad to know that swiftkey is available for iOS as well. Sadly the User Experience on iOS is very poor in comparison to your Android Version.

If you could implement the following things, it would make the user experience a lot better:

• Special Characters as second Option for normal characters (best would be the same order as on android)
• seperate comma key
• enhanced QWERTZ Layout with dedicated umlaut keys (öäü)
• Adjustment of longpress duration
• 3D Touch for removel of whole words
• cursor selection through long press on space key

And I would REALLY Love to have the "Classic Dark" Theme back. I found it very helpfull that not every key has its own border, but the keyboard layout is kind of rastered.

Please think about the mentioned things. I am sure many people would love it!

Thank you and Greetings from Germany,

Christian

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.

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!

Dear team, please add Kurdish sorani language keyboard to SwiftKey  keyboard in  IOS.
