Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

I use a work profile on my Pixel 2XL so I can access my work email (duh!), and until I upgraded to Android 10 I had my SwiftKey keyboard in both my personal and work profiles. But now that I've upgraded I've lost SwiftKey from my work profile. Argh! Can I get it back? It's a real pain to have different keyboards in each profile!

I am always removing "OK" from the prediction and it will just reappear all the time. It says "OK" successfully removed from learned words but it will still be there as the auto correct so if I do no click on the ok on the left it changes it to OK. It happened multiple times just writing this.

When the force dark mode feature is used in Android 10, the SwiftKey designs don't work as expected. Light and dark colours are messed up

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

HOW TO BACKUP AND RESTORE ALL CLIPBOARD CREATED SHORTCUTS?

I want to create a backup file from all the created clipboard shortcuts.

AND OVERVIEW IT?

in my phone i can't organise the shortcuts, i can only create a lot and scroll through the created shortcuts and edit them when i can find them. But after making hundreds of shortcuts it is frustrating to lose an overview and not be able to organise them all on Alphabetical order and in a spreadsheet file or anything exportable to a cloud - document - excel conversion so i can keep the shortcuts and export the file to another device and use them all again on that device.

This could be handy for educational tool on schools and universities with standard shortcuts.

Also it would be great if the overview is possible in a spreadsheet so people can really learn the shortcuts and overview them, edit the ones they want to edit and restore the file to the device or devices.

AND EDIT IT IN A FILE?

Talking about a dowloadable file is the first thing we need to do if we think about shortcuts on keyboards.

Swiftkey would be the best app if it allows users to create a file and make them able to edit these shortcuts personal in an editor online or on a spreadsheet cloud environment.

For instance, maybe I prefer the $ to be associated with a long press on D instead of X.

Hallo,
i use SwiftKey for years now and today i wanted to log me in in my SwiftKey account on my new Phone (galaxy s10+). I can only choose between Google and Microsoft. I tried it with Google because this is my Mail Adress which i used for my SwiftKey Account. When i click on Google there is a white loading page and it is loading and loading and nothing happens. I can log me in to my account on the SwiftKey Website. My password for my SwiftKey account is different to my googlemail account. Want can i do? Please help

Hi! I find the New square "full keyboard" button when in compact Mode bothering. I only use compact because I love to use my phone with one hand and with the button I keep making the keyboard complete all the time. Could you Make it optional in order to remove it? Thanks

It's awesome to know that SwiftKey can switch to Incognito mode automatically in Chrome/Firefox incognito tabs. But there's an issue.

The keyboard theme/UI for the incognito mode, does not show Accented characters. This causes serious problems while typing or want to type fast.

Solution : 1. Implement the feature, to show all Accented characters, custom theme in incognito mode (just don't track the typing, and that's all).
2. Give option to turn off Auto incognito switching.

I can't find any references to Undo keyboard shortcut. For example, to undo Delete or any other command. Am I looking in the wrong place or it doesn't exist at all?

I've got an issue. The discs bar is too small. And I keep. Pressing the. Period instead of the space. Bar. It's really annoying. And makes people. On. The other. End annoyed. Otherwise I have to slowly type and edit as I go, making this not very swift.

Hi all,

don't know if this has already been asked, cannot find it in the forum search. The thing is I'm an old guy, I've started chatting when we still had the BBSs and Internet was almost unknown. Because of that I hate all those damn emojis, all that bitmap wasting just to show stupid faces, and silly objects, and flags and who knows what other weird stuff. So, is there a way to quick access the text-only emoticons, ie, those you can type by just using brackets, two colon and the like :-) :-/ :-(

Previous versions, I could keep the Enter key pressed and at least a top row with a clock icon appeared, and from there I could see my last typed emoticons. Now, text emoticons are not under the clock anymore and the text emoticons tab :-) is just the last one, and it's very impractical to access it this way. Can the order of those tabs be changed? Could you bring the text emoticons back to the history tab?

Thanks in advance for the help.

it seems that the text based emojis [ :-) ;-) :-( etc] no longer show in the most recently used emoji list. is there an option to revert this back to previous behaviour?

How about gettin a button for the bitmoji app like the Google keyboard has?

The first three words in the predict bar.
I accidentally deleted one of them "the 😂 emoji"
And right now I need to get it back without losing any data.
Any solution? I really need it so bad!

Hello!

I just started to use Swiftkey, and I love it, but the fact how the letters ß, ä, ö, and ü are handled when typing in German are a complete deal-breaker for me. It's such a simple thing, and I honestly don't understand why it's not implemented in a smart way.

In order to type an 'ä', you have to long press the letter 'a', then the '@' appears beneath your finger, and you have to move to the letter 'ä'. In German, the letter 'ä' is just a normal character, and it is used a lot more often than the letter '@', so it should be the other way round. After the long press, the 'ä' should automatically appear beneath your finger, so you just have to long press it, without the extra move.

The same thing applies to ß (after long pressing the 's', the ß should be standard, instead of the '#'), for o (where the 9 is standard instead of ö), and the 'ü' as well.

Gboard, and any other keyboard (to my knowledge) implement it in that way. So you just have to long press the u, in order to get a ü, and so on. It's fine if you have to move your finger for characters that you don't need that often, but ä, ü, ö and ß should be the first choice when long pressing.

Thanks,
Kristian

This has been asked for about a year ago, but I'll try again... I've enabled two languages in the SwiftKey (beta) app. My native tongue and English. Switching between the two is seamless, which I enjoy, but the app keeps capitalizing my I's in my mother tongue as well (where "i" is a standalone word that shouldn't be capitalized mid-sentence). It would be great if the app could for example look at the word before "i" and then suggest capitalizing only if the word is English.

For now I have to manually correct it, which takes a lot of time in the long run.

Hello everybody!

I'm having a big issue with SwiftKey on my HTC ONE M7 on Android 5.

The keyboard covers the input field in almost any messenger (WA, GG, TG,...) and makes it impossible to write.

The predictions are also not click-able. When I tap on one of the predictions, the keyboard disappears, as if I would tap on the Messengers window.

I have some Screenshots showing the bug but this forum doesn't seem to have an option to attach images. How can I post an image?

With this serious bug, SwiftKey is totally useless for me.
I can't see the text I'm writing.
I can't tap on the predictions.
The built-in HTC Sense Keyboard works just fine without this issue, so it has to be SwiftKey that's causing the bug.

Please resolve this issue as soon as possible. I can't live without SwiftKey!

Hi, is it possible to change languages manually? When I have two or more languages together (i have Czech, English and French) and use flow, the resulting words of the flow gesture tend to be wrong often (a lot). Even if i use only Czech and English which is necessary in my every day life it is not working well. I would appreciate manual language switching as was possible in the past. Also separate personal dictionaries would be implied.(added words)

I see so many requests to make the spacebar bigger to eliminate the problem with accidentally hitting the period but yet no response or fix from Swiftkey, so I thought I would add on a post.  I really want to love Swiftkey and keep switching back to it every couple of weeks but then that darn period problem annoys me so much that I end up quickly switching to another keyboard.  PLEASE FIX THIS!!

When I'm typing on another forum the keys have stopped working properly and even when I tap the prediction words it puts in other things. Often pressing spacebar pus in letters like T randomly. Just now trying to type T with a period after wouldn't let me.

It's seems most problematic on that site.

As a language student, I have a need to type in multiple languages (five, to be exact), though I'm having trouble with my external Bluetooth keyboard. Though I can change the prediction language to Russian or Korean, I can't actually type the characters (remains typing with a US layout when I'd really like to be typing in the language I've changed to).

Just like the title says, could you add arrows to the floating keyboard?

guys this setting is infuriating as I need fast long hold keys but not at the expense of my language on the keyboard constantly changing when I press space bar.

this is a keyboard destroying issue for me. I type fast and cannot have dual language functionality work properly when keyboard change occurs constantly simply by pressing spacebar.

it means I'm spending a big chunk of my time fighting to turn Japanese language off or typing English words with a Japanese keyboard slowly for my example.

Please please change the behavior of language changing as it's too annoying in its current form for me. if it isn't adjusted I have to change to another keyboard that doesn't have this annoying gesture built into the space bar.

Just tried it and you have to enable the clipboard feature, and then the copied text shows up as a prediction so if you're in a text field that has prediction disabled (like say... a password entry) it doesn't work. Why can't you implement a simple paste button that will paste whatever was copied? I would mainly use this feature to paste copied passwords from LastPass in apps/websites where getting the paste dialog to show up is either a pain or impossible. I do NOT want a list of my last used passwords showing up on my screen, which is why I disable the clipboard feature to begin with!

As an example, Fleksy has a clipboard feature that lets you swipe from the number row to a row of keys with three functions: Copy, Cut, Paste. No copied text ever shows up on the screen and it will paste the text into any text entry available. SwiftKey could easily have similar functionality by, for example, adding a paste button into the comma key long press that activates voice entry or something similar.

It's great that the QWERTZ (extended) layout has dedicated keys for Ä,Ö, and Ü, but there should definitely be a "ß" key (Eszett) as well. It's a common letter, and it's really cumbersome that you can only type it by longpressing the letter "S". There's enough space to add "ß" as well.

The smallest size of keyboard is too big for wqhd+ resolution on Samsung galaxy note 8. I really like swiftkey keyboard and have been using it for several years, bought paid version and a couple of themes, definitely wouldnt like to switch to other products. Could you please fix this issue?

I use multi language keyboard.
While I type english or other left to right languages, farsi recommendation is on mind and recommendations wont help. It is some thing useless for me.
How can I disable phonetic Feature? The only thing I hate from SwiftKey is phonetic. :((((((

Just got a Pixel 2XL, running the latest Android 8.0 build with the September security patch. On the latest SwiftKey beta, it won't let me log into my Facebook for personalization. It says error, not logged in please try again. I'm logged in to the Facebook app, and SwiftKey never prompts me to log in to Facebook in the pop-up. Anyone able to help?
