Why SwiftKey hasn't fixed the cursor control issue on non 3D Touch devices yet? Answered
1 vote 9 comments

We came upon non 3D Touch devices as Apple has completely abandoned the technology, bringing haptic feedback. On devices with small screens, such as the iPhone, is easier to handle the lack of cursor control (although iOS native keyboard does the trick very nicely), but it is terrible on the iPad. SwiftKey is, hands down, the smartest keyboard there is - and it's exactly why it is so hard to understand why they didn't come up with a solution.

How do I make special characters appear above each alphabetical letter? Answered
3 votes 3 comments

Hello, I am french, 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.
Apple Pencil auxiliary keyboard does not display. Answered

When I tap for the Apple Pencil auxiliary keyboard in ANY app it does not always display. All that I get more often than not is the shaded bar that allows me to move the position of the board. Shutting down and restarting the app/ device does not fix it. It just seems to be luck when it appears.

Hi,

I have an 2020 ipad air with ios 14.3, SwiftKey version 2.8.5 and if I try to share a post from Facebook to a text message while in landscape mode the send arrow is not operational and seems to overlap on the message window. If I rotate the iPad in portrait mode the send arrow works. Please fix this bug, I have been dealing with this for a couple of months but did not get a chance to report it. Thank you.
Autopunctuation Answered
0 votes 1 comment

Is there a way of disabling the auto punctuation feature in Swiftkey on the iPhone? I would like to place the punctuation myself rather than for the application to place a full stop whenever I pause. Because of this auto punctuation feature the voice to text although very accurate becomes unusable as it places automatic full stops when one makes a slight pause. I can see this question has been asked many months before but no response yet. Kindly assist

Swipe left to delete Answered

Hi,

Something tells me that this question has been already asked before on that forum. I just could not find the right thread. I've just moved from Android to iOS with the iPhone 12, installed my favorite keyboard - SwiftKey.

One thing that I'm missing a lot is the functionality of deleting a word by swiping left to right on the keyboard. Something that I've used "a lot" on Android. Is there a way to enable it on the iOS version?
Please give iOS users a few more keyboard click sounds and volume controls. Answered

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
"remove prediction" doesn't work!

I'm using SwiftKey 2.8.0 on iOS 13.5.1 and for some odd reason it keeps predicting "Mar" instead of "mar". I tried a few times to remove the capitalized prediction but it doesn't work and I keep getting Mar instead of mar. Any suggestions?

Disable period key next to spacebar
3 votes 4 comments

Hi, love SwiftKey till the end, but almost everytime I use SwiftKey, all.my.sentences.look.like.this. The spacebar is shrinked from the right side thanks to a period being there, and I have made so many misclicks on it since I always use the right part of the spacebar to enter a space. An option to remove that period would be very welcomed. SwiftKey has literally been my go-to keyboard for like 2 years now, but no matter how long I've been with it, that period still gets in the way. Any help is appreciated.
iPad Air 4 Keyboard Size Answered
0 votes 2 comments

The keyboard on the brand new iPad Air has but a full inch or so of blank empty space on the left side of the screen. This looks like a bug perhaps. It does this in portrait and landscape modes with the undo bar running the entire width of the screen. This doesn't happen on any other iOS devices I have. Any way to fix this?
SwiftKey accessing passwords and other clipboard data Answered
0 votes 1 comment

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 this app for the past two years with no issues. However, earlier today the keyboard just stopped working. I can now only use the default. I updated my phone, reset it three times, and even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. It still won’t work.
Possible keyboard size bug after v2.7.1 upgrade: Completed

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!

Clipboard setting inaccessible in settings Answered
0 votes 2 comments

In ios 14.01 on iPhone 11 pro going to the SwiftKey settings in the settings app - the view automatically scrolls down hiding the clipboard setting. I've tried using two fingers to hold it down or to pull it down and catch it in the latter part of the rubber band effect. But no dice. I think this is a big of some sort. I hope it's not more nefarious where they're trying to hide the settings.

SwiftKey on iOS iPad adding periods if pause during voice to text. When hitting the microphone button on SwiftKey keyboard on iPad I noticed that if I do not speak quickly that a period will automatically be added where I don't want it. If I use stock iPad keyboard it works fine. Any thoughts on SwiftKey? Was using iMessages. Thanks Peter

Decimal pad not respecting regional setting for comma/dot
1 vote 1 comment

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.
Feature Requests for iOS - Make SwiftKey as Great as on Android!
16 votes 5 comments
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
