Microsoft SwiftKey iOS Support Forums

ive been using swiftkey a long time and now with iphone7 it isn't working, won't stay loaded. I did just update a load of apps. 

Please do not change the Nickel Dark. Just create a new keyboard. The new fresh redesign is not better. I like the existing nickel dark as it looks like a real keyboard

First of all: what a great product! But there is one thing that drives me nuts: how to change languages easily. I'm aware there is a setting to disable the emoji keyboard and supposedly it should replace it with the standard globe icon, but this is not exactly true as it behaves differently.

Let's assume I'm in swiftkey (where I have EN and DE as languages). Now I want to write my mum in Spanish, how do I get Spanish keyboard? On iOS keyboard I would just hold the globe and swipe to Spanish (hold->swipe). With swiftkey I have to click once the globe which brings me to next language which is the iOS emoji. Now I have to click Abc, then hold the globe and finally I can pick Spanish. What a horrible UX (click->click->hold->swipe). I'm sorry but the ios emoji picker is so much more a delight to use, so I would like to just remove the swiftkey custom menu altogether and access any keyboard directly. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

After one day, I can say I don't much care for this update. The emoji are too small and some have been removed. In particular, the musical notes. This build just doesn't seem friendly to me. I liked it better the way it was. I'm not a big user of Swiftmoji anyway. I don't mind the Swiftmoji integration, but it's a hassle to search other emoji. Some of the dark ones I can't even see.

when you think to add 3D Touch support on iOS ?

Just downloaded the keyboard to my iPhone. I can't sign in to my account via FB or Google and get this

Hello there,

 Tl;DR:

Is it possible to change the google account associated to SwiftKey Cloud?

Long version:

I have recently changed of Google Account, so I wanted to know if it is possible to migrate all my data, being it keyboard dictionary, my tap map, etcetera, move all that to my new google account. I actually had already deleted this email account and only then realised I lost all my data for SwiftKey, so I had to open a special request for Google to recover my account from their archive servers, however, I would really like not to have a separate google account just for SwiftKey.

Thank you,

Tiago

Hi all,

Is there a way to prevent SwiftKey from learning a word, and not popping it up as a suggestion?  I don't want SwiftKey recording passwords which I type into Password Safe.  And I don't necessarily want it to remember every single URL I visit (ahem.)

Thanks,

Hola, acabo de descargar el teclado para iOS, ya que anteriormente era mi favorito en Android y me encuentro con la desagradable sorpresa de que no puedo desactivar la previsualización de teclas (teclas que saltan cuando presionas una) y resulta bastante molesto. ¿Alguien sabe cómo hacerlo o podrían decirme si esta cualidad no está en iOS? gracias

No confirmation of support email sent so I post also here. 2.8.7 swiftkey. 14.4 ios. When I press prediction offered, another word will be inserted. check video

When I tap for the Apple Pencil auxiliary keyboard in ANY app it does not always display. All that I get more often than not is the shaded bar that allows me to move the position of the board. Shutting down and restarting the app/ device does not fix it. It just seems to be luck when it appears.

Any way to turn off the tracing of your swype while swyping on your keyboard? iOS.

Hi all,

Does SwiftKey have a Thumb Layout option on IOS like it does in Android?

Hi All:

Lately my iPhone has been insanely slow when browsing, regardless of browser. Speedtest shows 120Mbps down and 80Mbps up with minimal latency and other apps are fine.

I’ve restarted, same issue, any suggestions!

Thanks

Miten tallennan viestini/korjatakseni sitä. Myöhemmin? 

Please allow a few more optional click sounds for iOS Swiftkey? A computer keyboard press sound would be awesome. Also volume controls for the click sounds? Some of us have hearing  handicaps and would appreciate the extra help to hear the keyboard clicks.

Sincerely,

Ryan

Hi,

Something tells me that this question has been already asked before on that forum. I just could not find the right thread. I've just moved from Android to iOS with the iPhone 12, installed my favorite keyboard - SwiftKey.

One thing that I'm missing a lot is the functionality of deleting a word by swiping left to right on the keyboard. Something that I've used "a lot" on Android. Is there a way to enable it on the iOS version?

Hello,

I noticed a couple notifications in iOS 14 about SwiftKey accessing my clipboard that I can't comprehend. It appears to happen sometimes after beginning to edit a textfield in a 3rd party app but also apparently randomly while browsing 3rd party apps.

I find this especially concerning when it happens after copying a password in a password manager. But also in other contexts it should be comprehensible ofc.

Why does this happen? How can I turn this off???

I just installed version 2.8.4 from App store on iOS 14.1 and couldn't find either marathi or hindi languages for download. I thought Swiftkey had support for Marathi or Devnagri scripts.

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.

I have swiftkey version 2.7.8 on iPhone (ios 13.5) and ipad (ipados 13.5).
On iPhone the layout features a multipurpose punctuation key to the right of the space bar, which I find very useful. On the ipad this position is given to a second key to switch to numeric keyboard, which I do not need. How can I get the multipurpose punctuation key on ipad?

Would someone please get in here and remove all the "magic-spell-potion-witchcraft-herbal" posts? They're making it impossible to use thebforum!!!

Thank you.

I've installed SwiftKey and given it full access on my iPad mini 5th generation. But flow won't work. 

I've checked every step of the installation instructions and even some things that aren't mentioned. I've compared the installation on the iPad with the installation on my iPhone, where flow does work. I've found no clues at all.

It's an iPad mini 5th generation running IOS 13.13.1 (current version).

Anyone got ideas?

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!

I am using an external keyboard and want to hide the Swiftkey keyboard, but show the word prediction bar.  Doesn’t sound like much, but on the bar you can see the ios text replacements you have entered.  While showing the keyboard, I can type a short combination of letters and/or numbers, which ios translates to a whole paragraph.  I use this quite often filling in templates and sending emails, but it is annoying to see this huge keyboard that takes up a large portion of the screen.

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
