SwiftKey Android Support Forums

The browser window pops up for a second and force closes. All the other ones are working. I am logged into Twitter on my device on the stock app.

Is there any way to change the voice to text engine in Android? I would prefer to use Cortana, since I find Cortana's accuracy very good, but there does not seem to be a way to do it.

I love that SwiftKey Beta finally have released Photo Themes, and given users a possibility to design your own custom theme!!!

BUT it needs the possibility to deside the COLOR OF THE FONT. Without it it's not very usefull. It would also be good if you add a way to determend how transparent the photo theme is.

I use SwiftKey (the paid version) with English and my native language, Malayalam. My language settings are as in the screenshot below.

My phone is primarily for work use, so most of my keypad usage is to type out professional emails, Slack messages, Asana updates etc. and the only acceptable language for such communications is English. I use Malayalam occasionally on certain WhatsApp groups; where I know all members are capable of reading and understanding the language. In earlier versions of SwiftKey switching between these was quick and easy via the spacebar, and the product worked very well for my requirements.

But of late, I see that SwiftKey is predicting words in Malayalam when I'm typing in English and worse still, these words are offered as the middle prediction:

This is incredibly annoying; and I have searched all over the place - but it seems like there is no way to disable this behaviour. At the moment I have removed Malayalam from SwiftKey completely because this "feature" is interfering in my work. My questions:

1. Is it true that I cannot disable this feature?

2. Is there a way I can downgrade to a version of SwiftKey that did not have this feature?

3. Is there any plans for adding a configuration option to disable this feature? If yes when will that come out?

Thanks.

I like and use Your keyboard primarily for the Android but also for the Apple. L

On the other hand I purchased on IBM Surface tablet and was very discouraged to find they support almost no usable on screen keyboards.

I can give you the list of features of your keyboard that they don't support, and of course some features that I'd like you to add.

But the major thing I would like to do is ask why you,  as a subsidiary of Microsoft,  can not convince them to allow you to have an alternate keyboard for their Windows 10 Surface tablets.

Note: I would be perfectly willing to pay for a 'Pro' version  if that's what takes to get it your software moved over to their package

Thanks... 

Can I make swiftkey switch automatically to incognito mode whenever I open specific apps or windows? Such as incognito tabs in Chrome and Firefox.

Otherwise, is there a (non root) 3rd party app that can do it?

How do I get portrait keyboard or t9 option

Every time I re-install swiftkey on same device or install to a new android device my predicted words  dissapeared! Even Backup/restore was ON on previous device and on the new device also, triggered sync many times on both devices!

This happened the second time for me between different devices, word backup never worked. What the cloud backup is for then? What is the purpose?

Before you say I turned off backup, my data exists in the cloud at data.swiftkey.com, but does not synced to any of new devices: 

So, I've had SwiftKey for many, many years and been through a huge number of phones, but never had this issue.

I have a few devices - one of them being an iPhone, the other being a Samsung.

I recently purchased a new Samsung (S9), and it seems although it shows the sync as being connected, it doesn't 'remember' any of the many words I have on there. It's an issue which I've never had.

I've deleted, reinstalled, clicked sync on both sides, ensured it's logged in etc. No luck.

I have a SwiftKey account for my synchronising. In the most recent update of iOS SwiftKey, it no longer seems to be an option, to log-in with a SwiftKey account, but only with Facebook, Microsoft, Google or Apple.  Could this be it?

Any idea what it could be?

I got a new phone and installed the app and signed in with the account that I was using on my old phone. However, after running the sync operation, none of my old predictions are showing up. I still have my old phone and I'm able to confirm that both of them have backup and sync configured and both of them are signed in with the same account ID. Any suggestions?

Device backup from previous device is not syncing to the new device. 

Just installed SwiftKey on my new mobile. when I want to login with my Google account (button sign in with Google) it's loading for hours (I see the loading circle on a white background).
Phone: Galaxy S9, Android 9.0 (two days before I had the android version before and had the same problem) and yes, I installed and deleted it meanwhile more times.   

When I use both English and Swedish language in SwiftKey it constantly auto capitalizes "i" even though I have selected the Swedish language/keyboard.
If I only have Swedish language/keyboard it doesn't do this. But I like to switch between English and Swedish, so having a single language enabled is not an option.
Please correct this bug, it's really annoying to constantly have to correct this when writing in Swedish.
I have noticed that this topic has been brought up for several years, maybe it's time to fix it?

Hello there,

Add this function of cut copy paste and select-all by sliding the finger from numberkey to X, C, V and A respectively.

This would be really really helpful and would be the best update till date that saves a lot of time of the user.

Release the updates as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I use textra for messaging. It changes from dark to light mode. It would be nice if the keyboard did the same.

Hello Swiftkey:

A feature that I really miss from other keyboards (such as Gboard) is the ability to search emojis. I really love this feature and I think its better than emoji prediction. Please add this is a close future update!

Yes, the lack of this feature would be enough to make me switch keyboards, but I really like Swiftkey.

Thanks

I have English (QWERTY) and Farsi languages installed. Prior to today I could choose between English and Farsi but now I have Farsi and English/Farsi. With the latter I get predictions in both languages and I don't want this. How can I get back to having English and Farsi separately?

I've been using SwiftKey for several years with no issues at all, and have obviously built up quite a large personal dictionary. After factory resetting my Galaxy S8+ on Android 9.0, and re-installing SwiftKey, predictions from my personal dictionary so not come up anymore. I have tried all the steps on the troubleshooting guides on this website and have tried all the steps from other similar posts with no success. Are there any other steps I can try? This app has been so essential to me for many many years now and I can't even imagine losing all of the data that has been built up throughout the years.

Hello. My problem is about backup and sync. First I have to tell you these. 5 years ago I was using LG G3, and I moved on iPhone 6 Plus and I was able to use my old predictions. And then I moved on Xiaomi Mi 8, I was still be able to use all my learned data. And now I changed my phone to Oneplus 7 pro, and in the app I cannot see any of my learned data.
https://data.swiftkey.com/view-data in this website I can see my learned data, the words that I use most before on the other phones, but they won't show up on my new phone. 5-6 years of learned data was making my life easier but now I am not happy to use this app. So question is what should I do?

It would be really awesome to have Bitmoji integrated with SwiftKey. I've been vying for this feature suggestion for a while. It's a really great feature. Hope Microsoft will consider it in the future. Thanks for listening.

I'm looking on getting rid of the Quick Emoji Beta feature on my Samsung Galaxy S8.  It's very annoying.

I hate the beta toolbar.

I always get emoji from my emoji history and SwiftKey defaults to the crystal ball, which I assume is predictions.

Been using this app forever, and this new feature is annoying me. It's nothing I asked for, but I'm asking for the ability to disable it please.

For all of us concerned adults, I noticed the latest update now blocks or significantly limits R rated search keyword results. Wouldn't the implementation of a user selectable filter make more sens? It's a deal breaker for me if I can no longer message my friends with R rated gifs.

In this post I'm going to leave in errors in quotations and some corrected words as parentheticals to show "t" what's going on. Reading this post will probably be about as "r" frustrating as it is typing it out. I'm pretty sure this issue started within the past week, "u it" (but) random letters "go Vila" words and "r flags t" (spaces) began to pop up when "r t" using the flow "y y toxin" (function) of the keyboard. Sometimes it will even put in random gibberish words, and "y hovering" (sometimes) I just "have to u" give up and manually touch type things in.

Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how to fix it?
I'm currently using a galaxy S7 (not the edge version).
Android version 7.0
SwiftKey version 6.7.1.34

The production version of SwiftKey is again too large and this time on the note 8. Please apply whatever hot fix you did for the S8 so we don't have to use a giant keyboard.

Hi,

For the past month or so, the swiftkey stats section is displaying 'oops something went wrong our end check back later' has anyone else encountered this? It seems strange it's been going on so long, I've tried logging out and back in again but no joy.

Thanks

Hey,

I started using SwiftKey this past month after testing it out on my new phone and I think I'm sticking with it. But one thing I loathe about it is how all the characters on the Arabic keyboard are scattered around with no logical connection between them, I'm not talking about the main letters but the ones you get when you long press a letter.

Let me give you an example, in both Google's GBoard and Apple's keyboard and probably every keyboard out there when you long-press on the letter Alif (ا), the equivalent of A, you'd get all the variations أإآء... But SwiftKey kind of have them scattered around like on a physical keyboard which is not very thoughtful. This leaves me either guessing or using an ugly theme with all the letters shown.

This problem is present on both the main beta releases of the keyboard on iOS and Android.

As the title says, my predictions/sync has been broken for a few weeks now. Even though all my learnt words are available on data.swiftkey.com/view-data, nothing shows up as predictions on my phone.
