Microsoft SwiftKey iOS Support Forums

Hi,

Using Swiftkey in the iOS 13 Mail app with iPhone Xr, the keyboard now takes up so much screen space that there's not much room for editing the text! I've had to switch off the number row (which I really like) to save space, because the new iOS editing bar/row (whatever it's called), can't be hidden like it can with the native keyboard. Any ideas? Anyone agree this is an issue? 

Also, although I now only have Swiftkey enabled, so that there is no Globe/Global key at the bottom, there is still about 1cm of empty space on the screen between the bottom of the space bar and the home bar/line at the bottom of the screen. Is there any way this space could be reclaimed, I wonder?

Thanks for any ideas or comments.

Hello. Please add Classic Light theme for IOS. There is a Nickel Classic Light theme but it is "too white" it needs to be a little greyish like in Android platform.

Can the period key be removed, or moved? It's driving me crazy

Period is way way way too easy to press.

I installed SwitKey on my iPhone 7. I have set Italian as default language and I use two languages on my keyboard, that is Italian and English. In fact, on SwiftKey keyboard space bar I can see IT-EN.

Howeve, if I type by using that keyboard, in any foeld (writing an SMS or an iMessage, filling a field in a web form, creating a note, posting on Facebook), the text is ALWAYS underlined by red, as the words would not be recognized by proofer. 

Why?

When is the accuracy of flow going to get addressed, or even just the ability to reset the tap map?
It's been months and the accuracy is still totally horrific. It is and had been for a long time slightly better when you freshly Install, and the tap map hadn't adjusted the keys to help with accuracy. After a little use and the keys get "adjusted" and you are fighting against the AI that's trying to make things better. This has totally been a huge problem, but it seems to get over looked. As said before reinstalling helps with accuracy, but reinstalling and having to reteach your dictionary and all is not that great of an option,
Will accuracy ever improve?

From the official Microsoft SwiftKey page...
"Frustration-free typing", "Fast and accurate"
Have they even tried using it???

Whenever i send a text, i never use capitalization, i only use it when i'm writing a post with multiple sentences. This wasn't a problem on the default ios keyboard as turning off the auto capitalization  movies download movies at forum
 setting made it never correct my letters to capital ones, but with swift key this only changes the beginning of sentences, not proper nouns like "I". Will this eventually go away as i use the keyboard more and correct the capitalizations myself ?

Does Swiftkey have a true French Canadian keyboard?

This is a QWERTY keyboard with French accents changing some keys. For example, the key with / and ? on the lower right in an English keyboard, on the French-Canadian keyboard is é and É. 

Hi,

I normally setup 2 languages in Swiftkey.

If the 2 languages have the same keyboard layout (both being QWERTY), i don't seem to be able to change layouts/languages via the SPACE bar. I keep on pressing but no popup appears to change it.

Therefore, i'm not able to change the typing language of switfkey.

Is this intentional?

If i select two different layouts for the 2 languages (QWERTY and QWERTZ for example) then i can switch languages (layouts) via SPACE bar fine.

I can type in 2 languages parallel, but iOS13 mail app keeps underlining the words as spelling errors when not being in the correct language/layout and in the iOS13 mail app it is impossible to turn off spell checking as of today.

It is extremely frustrating. Why can't i choose between languages with the SPACE bar if those have same keyboard layout? Crazy.

Also to be noted, that if i have 2 different layouts set (QWERTY and QWERTZ) and press on the SPACE bar to change, after the change is successful, it is not reflected on the Space bar script, any setting i use EN HU is not changing to HU EN. I would assume that the language i use shall be reflected on the space bar.

this situation is really ridiculous - why is Chinese input available for Android, but after all this time and so many iterations and versions, it is still not available for IOS? Please don't tell us to keep switching with the IOS keyboard, that is not a valid answer.

When will Chinese, and especially Pinyin input for Traditional Chinese, be added to this app?

iPhone 6S, 13.1.3, latest SwitfKey.

Running iMessage, if I lock phone (not power down, just sleep) and then unlock the phone (or receive a message) the keyboard will default to the emoji page of the Apple keyboard. It's been doing this since iOS 13 arrived. Very frustrating to have to switch back to Swiftkey so frequently.

A search for anyone else with this problem only turned up one question on Reddit with no replies.

Any ideas or fixes for this?

it would be nice to at least know WHY Swiftkey is unable to provide a Dvorak keyboard for iOS as they ARE able to do in Android

I am having this problem where it doesn't matter what theme I choose, the buttons are all yellow... the only thing that works is choosing the transparent buttons option, but I would like to actually have button outlines.

Hi, I've just switched from Samsung 6 edge to iPhone 7 (so I can use Apple watch for swimming & fitness etc), but I am seriously missing my SwiftKey keyboard. My floral one (not so fussed about the floral bits) has dual purpose keys, ie. Each one doubles up as a symbol plus - a real must of you have longer nails like lots of us ladies do these days, it has the 4 cursor keys at the bottom of the screen plus all numbers across the top. Why can't I get it or anything similar on iPhone? Be so kind if anyone can help on this? It's driving me nuts! Many thanks Louise 😊

Hi,

I have been using Swiftkey on Android, and then switched to IOS for 2 years now but there is still NO language support for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.

I am not sure if there is even a support team here as I have wrote in few times, and saw similar posts on the forum but no action was taken even after so long.

It has been nice using it but I have found a better alternative which is GBoard so I hope you will further improve your features and Customer Support so you are able to keep your current user base at the very least.

Peace Out

Looked all over but can't find any info on how to turn off the paste feature. Every time I copy some text, Swiftkey offers to paste it via one of the slots in the prediction bar. 

How can I turn this feature off?

I already have Clipboard turned off in settings but this doesn't stop this annoyance.

Please help.

I don't have an option for Siri Dictation on SwiftKey for iPad. I have one on my iPhone. Any way to get this work on iPad?

Have a bit of a weird case. I got a new iPhone XR today with iOS 13.1.2. I transferred SwiftKey from my iPhone 7 Plus (also running iOS 13.1.2) and was unable to configure SwiftKey. Tried to re-install the app and then when I went through the initial setup, the SwiftKey settings page listed SwiftKey ${MARKETING_VERSION} instead of the keyboard settings. Apparently that's a placeholder value in Xcode. Any suggestions on how I could go back to a decent typing experience? The app still works fine on my old phone but I wouldn't dare re-configuring it.

Ever since the newest update (2.5.7), my photo theme does not change.  I'll go into the app to change my photo theme, but when I go back to use the keyboard within a different app, it doesn't change. 

With iOS 13, we can add a reminder with official app using "natural input". For example "dinner at 19.00" will create a new reminder with an alarm automatically set at 19.00. BUT this is possible using the official Apple Keyboard, because when you type "at 19.00" the keyboard shows a suggestment over the first row, and if you tap on it the alarm is set automatically. BUT if you use SwiftKey, over the keyboard that suggestment doesn't show so the reminder must be completed manually.

A simple workaround is to use Swiftkey and official Apple keyboard together, swithing from one to the other when you need to write a reminder, but it is not easy and fast.

With the app DUE, basically with the same functionality, Swiftkey works perfectly.

Thanks

Hi all

Do you know where is the degree ° symbol ? 

Cannot find it... 

Thanks for your help

I like the Telugu keyboard a lot in Android. I would appreciate if it can be made available for IOS also

I don't understand how to enable Haptic feedback in SwiftKey. The support article says

Opening the emoji panel, long-pressing the emoji/globe key, 
and activating the 'emoji bomb' will all trigger small vibrations.

But i don't see an "Emoji Bomb" in the emoji panel. 

I am using an iPhone 8 with iOS 11

My iPad keyboard now looks like the attached picture. It's squished and unusable. I'm not sure what happened. I've tried restarting my iPad and reinstalling Swiftkey but it's still stuck in this weird squished size. To add, I did not touch any settings or anything. I just opened my messaging app one day and the keyboard was this shape. It’s squished in portrait mode as well.

Help?
