Microsoft SwiftKey iOS Support Forums

Have a bit of a weird case. I got a new iPhone XR today with iOS 13.1.2. I transferred SwiftKey from my iPhone 7 Plus (also running iOS 13.1.2) and was unable to configure SwiftKey. Tried to re-install the app and then when I went through the initial setup, the SwiftKey settings page listed SwiftKey ${MARKETING_VERSION} instead of the keyboard settings. Apparently that's a placeholder value in Xcode. Any suggestions on how I could go back to a decent typing experience? The app still works fine on my old phone but I wouldn't dare re-configuring it.

Ever since the newest update (2.5.7), my photo theme does not change.  I'll go into the app to change my photo theme, but when I go back to use the keyboard within a different app, it doesn't change. 

With iOS 13, we can add a reminder with official app using "natural input". For example "dinner at 19.00" will create a new reminder with an alarm automatically set at 19.00. BUT this is possible using the official Apple Keyboard, because when you type "at 19.00" the keyboard shows a suggestment over the first row, and if you tap on it the alarm is set automatically. BUT if you use SwiftKey, over the keyboard that suggestment doesn't show so the reminder must be completed manually.

A simple workaround is to use Swiftkey and official Apple keyboard together, swithing from one to the other when you need to write a reminder, but it is not easy and fast.

With the app DUE, basically with the same functionality, Swiftkey works perfectly.

Thanks

I like the Telugu keyboard a lot in Android. I would appreciate if it can be made available for IOS also

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?

Hi,

Is it possible to remove this area, which I marked on my screen to get more screen space for my conversations? I disabled all other keyboards and microphone functions so all buttons disappeared from a bar and now it's just unused and wasted space on my screen :( Anyone?

Please add Kurdish sorani keyboard for ios

The SwiftKey app crashes, without exception, when creating a new email or text message, while entering the recipients names, when there are 3 or more recipients. Anyone have a fix? My app and operating system are up to date. This has been happening on my iPhone X for more than a year, through multiple updates. SwiftKey personnel told me they replicated the problem but haven't fixed it.

This is so frustrating, after yesterday’s update, the emoji button next to the space bar doesn’t go away. Out of frustration i tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, and still there. I don’t remember seeing it there because I used to disable it but the setting for it doesn’t do anything now. It’s really annoying

When trying to add a contract to create a call conference the keyboard opens but it's not handling any input thus I cannot choose a contact to add.

Please add Kurdish sorani keyboard for IOS

Hello, The formal accent of Kurdish language is Kurdish (sorani) and it is not available on iOS but available on Android! Could tell me why?

The Bengali language is missing on the iOS version. I am familiar with the Swiftkey Android and interested to use the same on my iOS. Is that available or has any tricks to enable? 

Why there is no bangla language

I have been using SwiftKey on Android for years, switched to iPhone a few days ago. Very unhappy with the ways comma work here. To insert a comma and a space after it, I have to hit the "special symbols" button, then comma, and then the space bar. Alternatively, I have to press and hold the "." key, then move to the comma, then hit space. That is 3 keystrokes, whereas in Android it only took one (you have the comma button on the default keyboard to the left of the space bar, and an empty space is automatically added once you hit it). Likewise, it is also annoying that no space is added after hitting the "." button, however at least this can be fixed by using a double-tap on the space bar to create the dot instead.

I understand SwiftKey is trying to imitate the way the native iOS keyboard works in this regard, but frankly, that setup is just horrible, so please at least give us the option to customize. A comma is a button that is too frequently required not to be on the main keyboard, and in at least 90% of cases, when you type a comma, you want an empty space behind it, so that really should be automatic.

Longtime Android user just started using SwiftKey for iOS. Spaces are not being automatically added at end-of-sentence punctuation. I searched the forums and found this is not expected behavior for iOS.

Flow method disappeared from SwiftKey which I used on ipad 5.1 How do I restore Flow

When I type President it brings up Obama the President of the United States is Donald J Trump.

I know that the Android version has Thai keyboard for a while now so I am wondering why is it taking so long for the iOS version to come up with it. I've purchased the SwiftKey hoping to use it but without the multilingual input it is kinda been useless to me so far.

I want to write in hebrew- from right to left, anf to add numbers. The problem is when i add the number- it automatic move the number to the end of the sentence (to the left side). How do i fix it?
Note- the add was ok untill the last update of the phone

SwiftKey dosnt work if i want to Text somebody ingame. I have a New Phone and a New Android Version pie but that should Not happen

Hey guys, is it not possible to create the exact same for iOS as for Android? I do need 4 languages English German turkish Arabic, at least 3 and it would be amazing if you just create the same experience for iOS users as Android. I swapped from android to iOS and missing few things badly.... Should be possible

Can we please get one handed mode keyboard for the iPhone? It is really hard to use the swipe function on the iPhone XS Max with this huge screen.

I use the accessibility shortcut on ios quite often as I have an iPhone XR and the screen is too large to operate one-handed so I have the button placed around the middle of the right edge. Problem is, when swiftkey opens up, it pages the button to the bottom center of the screen making me have to constantly place it back which gets frustrating. This has not happened with the stock keyboard.

I have just switched to an iPad pro 12.9 and was upset to find that I could not access the SwiftKey keyboard from the standard ios keyboard.  Unlike on the old, smaller ios keyboard there is no globe key to switch between keyboards.  However, after some research I find that if you press and HOLD the emoji key, then you can switch to SwiftKey.   The SwiftKey on-line help only speaks of the globe key, which could leave people stuck not knowing how to access all the great SwiftKey advantages.

For the past 2 months the display of the keyboard- in fact ANY keyboard - has been problematic. Most of the time it displays OK then without a reason it disappears and is very difficult to recover. Even rebooting both my iPad and iPhone XS Max often fail to recover any keyboard. And at present I cannot recover any keyboard on the iPad.

I don't know if this is caused by an iOS update or by SwiftKey and Apple wouldn't help me as I have a 3rd party keyboard installed. Heeeeelp!

Hi, I'm visually impaired and I really like the Vivid Lime theme on my Android phone. I couldn't find anything similar for IOS iPad. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Mike
