SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Got my new Note 8 today and it seems you have the same issue in high resolution again like on the S8+...

The size of the keyboard in high resolution is to large even set smallest...

 I hope an update will come soon to display the keyboard correctly at high res.

Galaxy S8+, stock. Using Gmail.
I hit reply, search for gif, tap gif to insert, it starts a new email draft with that gif.
I expect it to insert the gif in the reply I'm on.

What am I doing wrong?

I concurr with the accidental input of the period which is extremely annoying. What about double tapping the space bar as option for a period which would disable at the same time the period button but leave the option for the 3 other punctuations? Just a thought.

Using an HTC One-M8, when trying to sign in with Google account it lets me choose the account. Once chosen it takes me to the website to do the same - i click the same account and it takes me back to Swiftkey but then pops back into the Google Account choice website. This loop continues forever and i'm unable to sign in. Signing in on this website works no problem on desktop.

Please add persolization with Whatsapp. Thank you.

since the latest update (03/08/17) - the keyboard is slower than before. happens on both my phone (oneplus 2) and my wife's (xiaomi mi4c). please help.

Hi, got fat fingers, don't like big keyboard, is it possible to make space bar smaller on normal layout?

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 am using 3 languages and I get English suggestions when using Serbian and I'm getting Serbian language suggestions when using English, is there a way to change that (I am using Serbian Latin, English (US) and English (Cyrillic)).

I'm a diehard SwiftKey user and I frequently type in Japanese. I hate Romaji keyboards and I'm forced to use Google Japanese Input, the problem with that is their keyboard is small, especially the qwerty keyboard, which I use for quickly typing English when I'm mostly using Japanese, and typing in English on Google Japanese Input is painful, it can only predict words as you start to type them, correctly, it can't fix your typos... I miss keys a lot, SwiftKey is a life saver. Why in the world is there no flick input for Japanese? It already has the dictionary and kanji from the romaji keyboard, I've seen rumors dated around 2014 about a flick keyboard scouring the internet. What do I have to do to get a good keyboard?

Recently I noticed that the question mark in arabic keyboard was rotated.
This one is english ? Open to left
This one is arabic ? This should have the open from the right
The arabic one should be rotated

When I type in Chinese and Japanese, SwiftKey does not really learn the slang words that I typed. It's a bit frustrating 

Hi
Auto correct breaks up words requiring additional editing. Can you fix this, really annoying!

To replicate, switch off auto correct on space bar, then type edot. Then touch the word. This will place cursor in the middle of the word. Then select one of the suggestions from the top of the keyboard (Eg edit or editor) . That will put a suggested word followed by ot (eg edit ot). So the letters on the right from the cursor are kept unchanged and have to be deleted!? This is almost never what the user wants.

I saw someone else half address this, but whenever I try to add a semicolon after using flow input I get a space been the last word and the punctuation. If I want to use a semicolon or make my own made-up-phrase, I either have to backspace the last letter of what I've swiped (flowed) so it knows to look at what comes next as individual characters, or use the arrow keys to back up after hitting that semicolon and backspace spaces. Same applies to hyphenated words or series of words, but there's no reason to have the semicolon/colon/hyphen or dash not but the end of the preceding word. Particularly with the semicolon. I tend to like my punctuation as a way to fragment what would be a run on sentence and other areas where it would be appropriate but SwiftKey wants there to be space on either side of the ";" character or when using hyphenations. It should always hug the word to the left like a comma would; this range is same idea applies to full-on commas as well: it wants to have a space on either side instead of jumping back to the end of the last word like typing a period would. Why not give some (slightly) more obscure punctuation and symbols the period and comma treatment where after flowing a word it auto-spaces, but if a period, comma, or second space is input next that keyboard will smartly insert the formatting and punctuation before the auto-space between words.

Another hiccup I have that's always a fight is, for example, I want to list a file extension, SwiftKey will fight me to the pain several times in a row to not have it try to reformat that section to a URL.

It's to the point that I will flow a word, [backspace], [backspace], retype last letter of word and then long-pressing the "n" key for my semicolon to be in the proper place.

Side note:if the keyboard has to autocorrect the second half of a hyphenated word or expression it will add a space between the hyphen and the word it fixed looking like "blahblib- blahblah", assuming it had to fix my 'blahblah' for me, when the goal was "blahblib-blahblah".

SwiftKey is still hands down the most robust, well-rounded keyboard and I want you guys to continue to dig in your heels, keep pushing the envelope, and retain that innovation and magic autocorrect advantage without it getting too bogged down and keep it first time user friendly!

Keep up the stellar work guys!

Also if you wanted to add gravy it'd be nice to have a way to flow on a larger screen (5.5" on my Pixel XL) when I'm manipulating the phone entirely with one hand without totally scrunching up the keyboard with the one-handed layout.

Archaic Greek language old Greek please

Is it possible to add a feature where the keyboard animates while closing (E.g. Sliding Down) and opening (E.g. Sliding Up)? Thanks for reading!

Hello guys. Please consider adding the WORKMAN keyboard layout. Its supported by most major desktop OSes but android is yet to catch up.Thank You

In older an older version of swiftkey I was able to change capitalization of the last word. Now pressing shift changes the capitalization of the next word. Since swiftkey is not very good in predicting capital letters in German I always have to manually select the last words again and then change it afterwards.

Is it possible to change that behavior?

I've run into a particularly annoying bug.

Let's say I have already:

One two three

And I select (highlight) three:

One two three

And then, with "three" still selected, I swipe the word "seven":

One two seven

The word is now correct but the word in the middle of the prediction panel is still "three". If I press space or type any other character it miscorrects "seven" back to "three":

One two three

This is particularly noticeable in Chrome. When I tap the URL bar while already on a page, whatever the current URL is will be pre-selected for me. So let's say I want to search for "happy cats". If I swipe "happy", I get "happy" but the middle suggestion is "I". So if I swipe or type "cats" next, it becomes: "I cats". In the past week I have run into this SO many times as it hijacks my attempts to Google in Chrome.

Hi

I've been using SwiftKey for years now, and it has become more and more painful, to the point that I'm a meme to my friends now due to the way I type if I don't read twice before sending.

First, it looks like SwiftKey went from correcting my typos to considering that my typos are the way words are supposed to be written. So it corrects the right words into wrong.

Second, the French corrector is pretty broken to begin with, there are even tenses it don't know. So I have to manually rewrite verbs, even if I had them right the first time, because SwiftKey mess with it.

Last of all, since I switched to a new A5 2016 recently, the keyboard sometimes erases one to two words while I'm typing, for no reason.

I also have the "SwiftKey closing while I'm typing" problem I saw elsewhere, happens on Textra and Facebook Messenger.

I use the last beta of the app, with swift off because it made the keyboard even more laggy and unpredictable.

I wanted to change app, but yours is the best in terms of customization and key placement.

As you could have guessed I'm French. Strangely enough (?) I had absolutely no issue typing this message. Is French the problem? Or the way your app learnt me? Both?

Cheers.

Just recently my enter changed from being able to add a new line to sending the message. I really wish I could switch this back. If it's in the settings, I CANNOT find it.

I've been using Swiftkey for 3 years now on my phone without being logged into an account. 

Now that I logged in finally, my existing dictionary isn't syncing; only the stuff I've written after the login are put into my vocabulary. Any way to sync the ones that are still locally on my phone?

Sync won't work on a new phone. Pls fix!

Ok.

I blog a lot I do this for a living (not in English), and I do it with a phone and unfortunately there is no alternative to this keyboard for me.

What happened? I sign in to my swiftkey acc (Google) and all the words I taught to SK are not working. I went into the  website and where I can view my data all my words are there. All of them.. Why they dont show up and work when I use my devices? I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 mostly (Exynos chipset). did work till now, Whati is solution? It should be fixed about yesterday.  

Hello dear friends, All my predictions are gone! I have connected my gmail account and all predictions are synced! But after reseting my phone and connecting again to my Gmail account. All my predictions are gone. Please help!

Hi, I'm trying to sync my Word predictions from ios to android. But I'm still not able to retrieve my words in Android.

I've connected both via Google account.

I just changed my phone. The previous data is not coming. Please help

Recently re-installed Android and thus Swiftkey. Now there is no longer any option to add additional accounts e.g. SMS, facebook, twitter to my account. Has this functionality been removed?
