Microsoft SwiftKey iOS Support Forums

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.

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.

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!

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!

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. 

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

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.

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

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

How do I remove character previews on ios?

SwiftKey

долгое время пользовался клавиатурой на андроиде, там есть 2 очень полезные функции: 1.удаление слов свайпом влево и 2.долгий тап на букву вызывает определённый символ, можно было даже регулировать время тапа. не понимаю в чем проблема перенести эти очень полезные функции на ios

Ao digitar um nome a procura de emoji o teclado não mostra

Emoji simples como livro, estudar... Não aparece correspondem como o gboard

SwiftKey Suggestions: I would like to see you add a couple of other "symbols" to the short you get when you press on the "Period Key" in three lower right. It appears there is room for 3-4 more. In order of preference, I would like to see: colon, semicolon dash, & forward slash (: ; - /). This would greatly speed up my text entry. I also wish the behavior of a press on the colon & semicolon reassembled the period & comma (i.e., Pressing the symbol after entry of a word places the symbol directly AFTER the word; NO space). Let me know if you have any suggestions. An option to go directly to "voice input of text", possibly associated with the "+ options" would also be helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions.../Ray

SwiftKey ver 2.4.8 no longer offers Gmail as a sync option. I am signed in with my Google account. Here are images of Gmail missing in the list:

When trying to attach a pic to a message to SwiftKey, the composition routine crashes. Here is a video screen capture of this happening:

Please add “ talk to text” and add haptic feedback on key press for my iPhone XR, love you guys again SwiftKey.

SwiftKey inserts text into emoji when using cursor (3d touch on spacebar).

Reproduction steps:

1. Open message in iMessage -> Insert 🎉🎉🎉

2. Move cursor by 3d touch betwen second and third emoji -> insert D letter there (like this "🎉🎉D🎉" )

3. Text is inserted improperly inside emoji, on sending - app crashes

This issue occurs everytime for SwiftKey with above reproduction route, doesn't occur for native Apple keyboard.

Hi all,

I use Swiftkey for several years now and am very pleased with it. 

I have created several small websites for personal use. Some of them require input in text or number fields. When viewing the sites in Safari the Swiftkey keyboard works perfectly. But when the same site is added to the home screen it doesn't always work. 
Any ideas where the problem could be? 

The default keyboard on the new Apple iPad Pro's (2018) has 5 rows of keys now (the inclusion of number in the top row is awesome) and I find I really like that but miss my SwiftKey word predictions, corrections and glide. 

Will SwiftKey offer a keyboard with a 5th row for iPads?

Thanks!

I'm using Swiftkey for IOS12.1 on iPhone 8+ and the keyboard started acting strange from like 2 weeks ago: space after word not working and the words end up "glued" together. Even pressing space bar seems to take a while to introduce the space. 

Also, the keyboard have a "heavy" feeling to use with lag and unpredictable behaviour (such us inserting other words than intended). Is there any bug or it's my phone? I tried soft reset, works for a while but came back. One short term fix is to change keyboards, works fine for a while but gets back to the erratic behaviour after couple of minutes. 

I just noticed today that while I was responding to some posts on Facebook that the automatic space after words want working. I was confused but here, they are working. I just went to test again and it's working when I created a new post as well as responding. I know that a random instance or two isn't helpful and especially since I can't seem to reproduce it again but maybe just mentioning it might be useful if a new trend shows up.
