The Telegram messaging app has a very efficient way of entering emoji.

Please add this to SwiftKey?

 This is how Telegram enters emoji:

• type a colon (:) followed by a few letters from the name of the emoji you want
• for example, typing ":sun" shows a pop-up with emoji with "sun" in their descriptions
• 
• Then simply select the emoji you want.

The new update for Persian language is a real mess. Since SwiftKey added phonetic translation to the new update I can't type fast. Both Persian and English languages appear in the prediction tap. When I'm typing English Persian words replace it and I have to erase and type again. Please fix it up for next updates. You add an option to use it or not. Thanks

On my BlackBerry once I had backspace left to the beginning continued pressing would begin to delete to the right. This is incredibly useful feature and would love to see it added to the backspace key of SwiftKey please please please

Hi, I've been using SwiftKey since 2013 and for unknown, reason, the swipe to delete feature (when flow is disabled of course) works 1 out of 10 slide (right to left). Sometimes 1 out of 15 slides. That must be really me only cause I can't believe that is the case for everyone else, so I ask to confirm that that.

When I use Fleksy, The Swype to delete ALWAYS  works. ALWAYS.

So what's going on?

I absolutely love this keyboard, the only reason it is not my full time keyboard is I really love emoji prediction. If I type poop maybe I want to send Mr Hanky. I don't want to go searching for him, I want him to be there when I type poop.
Also being able to search the emoji to find what you are looking for faster would be awesome.

Please change the font size back, it was appears to have been halved. I liked the massive text. I can't even read the characters anymore. I do not want to change the font size of my entire phone just for abnormally small SwiftKey. Please give us the option to change this. I'm a long LONG time user and unfortunately I had to update my review to a 2 star because this is just unusable. Galaxy S7 Edge.

I appreciate what you're trying to do. Thank you. I have a request though. I have hijacked the autocorrect feature in Microsoft for my own evil needs. For instance if I type "xph" it expands to my full phone number (Home: (425) NNN-NNNN) with formatting that I would never type Key by key. This also of course removes the possibility for me to ever type it in correctly. xcell & I xoff both expand to my cell and office number with the correct nomenclature. I have over a hundred short cuts that I use an autocorrect to save typing and expand acronyms. These are essentially macros. I've looked around support and don't see a way to add these so please consider it.

When I attempt to add a Gif, all it adds is the link. I have Galaxy S8. What's the deal/fix?

In SwiftKey I found that some emojis are missing in my mobile that are available in other keyboards like Google keyboard, for example thinking emoji, mouth zipped emoji and some other too are not there in swift emojis, I can attach the image of emojis available if you want, my phone is Mi4i, i updated the app too

Alright I'm on a galaxy S8+ with the latest version of N and the latest Beta version as of today 6.6.8.23.

I wanted one handed operation so I switched my keyboard to that. The keyboard became significantly smaller, so I increased the size to the biggest, which made it as high as the full size / medium keyboard. I am pretty sure this is a bug because when I hold the punctuation key to insert an exclamation mark! It shows me the popup in very big text. It seems like the preview matches the correct size and height of the full size kb. I have a photo, but I'm not sure how to include it here...which would suggest you guys should enable that in your editor 😁

Thanks for the help

A niche request I realise. Some businesses and parents who lock down Android phones want to disable the gif functionality.

This can be made possible by supporting the following, like the chrome app does for URL whitelisting:

I've been using SwiftKey for a long time, and as of a recent update, it has been suggesting multiple words as the top suggestion. The most common example is when I type "I'm" the first or second suggestion is "I'm not". I can remove even basic words from my predictions, but I can't remove any word pairs.

The number of times I've accidentally said "I'm not sorry" or "I'm not on my way" is embarrassing, please help.

SwiftKey has recently introduced an en/bn layout where one can type in english keyboard to write both English and Bengali. It's quite good.
In Bengali, we use 'dari' (।) in place of a period. But that layout has no '।' symbol for easy access. So, whenever I finish writing a sentence in Bengali, I have to switch to the general বাংলা (Bengali) layout, add '।', and then again switch back to en/bn layout. This is really convoluted. My suggestion is to add '।' as a secondary option in the ',' key on the left of space bar.
In any case, please do something about it.
I'm using SwiftKey Beta.
Thank you.

I use Swiftkey Beta with English and Tamil languages. When I type in English, Swiftkey is predicting words in both English and Tamil. Most of the word prediction in Tamil is nonsensical. Can I change the Swiftkey setting so when I type in English, I only get English word prediction? This change is leading to so much error.   

May I suggest here that the above mentioned option should be added? 

It would be extremely helpful because in Poland when writing SMS messages with Polish tittles (ex. ą, ę, ł, ó) instead of ex. 1 SMS there goes 3 (Polish tittles so to say 'consume the capacity" of one SMS), which equals bigger price for texting. 

Using Chrome Beta. Latest Play Store version of SK.

When trying to type a comment on Facebook, desktop site (www.facebook.com), using Chrome on Android, hitting the space key deletes the typed word, recenters the window and the keyboard disappears. 
This issue does not happen when using the mobile version (m.facebook.com)

Version 6.5.7.22

Android 7.1.1

Google Pixel XL

When trying to type anything it intermittently crashes with the message below:

"SwiftKey Keyboard has stopped"

What is the standard login page. I cannot find in anywhere.

thanks,

Jim

When I want to correct something in the middle of a word I place the cursor on the spot (for example if I forgot an 'a' somewhere).

I then get a prediction, and when I press spacebar, only the part before the cursor is getting replaced. Not the part behind the cursor.

I find that really annoying. Samsung Keyboard replaces the whole word in that case. So I can type on.

Now I need to manually erase the part that is being left behind the cursor.

Is there a way to configure it the way Samsung keyboard handles it?

Hi guys!

Thought about using SwiftKey as my regular keyboard after the new flow update. But there are still some details I have problems with:

- spaces before or after using a hyphen and colon
- quick reply limitations on the lockscreen (I know, never gonna happen)

Best regards

Hello!

Since about two months ago, I keep missing the spacebar with my right thumb and hitting. The full stop key instead. <- producing odd-looking sentences like that.

It happens probably fifty times a day. That's a lot of back-spacing! It's so much that I started to wonder why SwiftKey doesn't collect and analyse telemetry on multiple backspacing to identify what errors are repeatedly occurring.

On my phone, the space and letter keys are a very slightly lighter grey than the keyboard background, but the function keys like enter, backspace, full stop are not differentiated. Theres about 0.5cm padding on the left of the full stop key before the spacebar. I think that's why I keep hitting it instead. Could this be fixed?

Thanks so much,
Daniel

option to set a bar with shortcut text or symbols or emojis above the suggestions like in chrooma

Hey I had an idea for your keyboard.

A custom emoji tab where we can add a select number of our favorite emoji for quick selection. SwiftKey is the top of the crop and this feature would enhance our typing capabilities even more. Thanks!

New poster. I hope this is in the correct place. Mods please advise if necessary :)

after the recent update , auto spacing prediction is not working, I have to manually press space button to get the next predicted word. which makes typing slow. and it is really embarrassing.
please bring back the old settings and my keypad freezing frequently.

I've noticed that my keyboard no longer inserts a space after the word I type using the flow method. It's quite frankly obnoxious since I use a combination of flow and prediction bar; every time I want to place punctuation, I have to type the character, see that there's now a space between the character and the word, then backspace both and retype the character. In addition, the prediction bar is now useless since it no longer predicts, only shows me the word I just typed. I have been through the meager settings to try and fix this, but to no avail.
