Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

So I had the huawei theme installed on my p9 and after my app updated my theme was gone and it's not in the store anymore.. 🙁 it was my favorite theme.. I've reinstalled swiftkey but no fix.. What happened?

Hi,

I've been trying to save all my swiftkey data from my old S6 to new S8 and it logs into my google account without any issues, it says it is syncing, but the data does not transfer from my old phone to the new one.

I've got quite a lot of swiftkey data from maybe 2 years of useage, so I'd like to sync it if possible.  Can this be done?  I followed your guide below, but this does not work for me, the new phone still has no predicted words, no words completed, no words flowed etc after syncing.  

My google account is set to sync app data if that makes a difference?

Can anyone guide me in the right direction please?

Thanks :)

Hello. I have the new Moto g5 plus which in the digital sensor has the feature to navigate thru left and right swipes on the sensor so i don't need to use the android on-screen buttom to return or anything else. The buttons doesnt even show on screen. But when i use the swiftkey or other keyboard, it creates the bottom buttons making my screen lose some space. How can i use this keyboard without the buttons just like my Samsung note?

Hi there!

Is there anything I can do to add more than 5 languages? While I can add more to my list, I cannot activate more than 5 at any given time.
It is also quite a nuisance that you cannot instruct SwiftKey to restrict suggestions to a single language. If languages share the same fundamental layout principles, auto suggestions (auto-correct) will consider several languages at once which can make life quite hard.
For instance, German, French, English (UK) and Dutch will be "running" simultaneously, sometimes producing ridiculous suggestions.

Cheers,
Olaf

Is there any way, like on the default iOS keyboard, to add a word, say "yt", which would automatically expand to YouTube?

Hi
The feature that I find the most annoying, and would like the option to turn off, is the auto move of the cursor to the end of the word. When I want to insert/correct a character, I press on the location within the word, and the cursor moves to the end of the word! I have all the arrow keys displayed at the bottom of the keyboard, so pressing on the location & adjusting with the arrow keys is super fast. Except the cursor jumps to the end of the word! I think this feature was added a couple of years ago. It still gets in the way. I haven't found a fast workaround, so an option to turn it off would be much appreciated.

dont you wanna Fix this Shi* ?

sync learning word with google account not working for more than month !! is there any support team behind Swiftkey ( Shi tkey )

Hi. I would like to know if there is a way to deactivate the GIF option. Not the emoji, just the GIF part. I keep sending the same gif over and over by mistake and it even finds its way into text messages making them MMS.

Is there anyway to deactivate this feature? Thank you

I can attach GIFs in the regular version of SwiftKey, but the beta version just puts a link to the GIFs. Will the beta version be updated to be just like the regular version?

When I type "god" the primary prediction is "God" but 99% of the time I am not evoking the Christian god, I am not using the word as a proper noun. I've deleted this prediction dozens and dozens of times but it's always the primary prediction,and though it does show "god" on the left prediction it means I have to press it to get it to say what I want when I should just be able to hit space and move on. Is there a fix for this?

Is there a button that allows you to easily switch keyboards? I use another keyboard for programming and would like to switch between the two. The programming keyboard and a few others (gboard) you can hold the spacebar to list all of your keyboards if you can add this feature if such does not yet exist. Thanks!

Hi, quick question
Ned to remove the red line under words and i wanna make him stop asking me to add words to the dictionary. Tried every settings, nothing worked, it keeps doing this. Im frustrated!!

Hi there - I miss having the smart and handy .com key that I believe comes with stock Android.  Is there a way to add it to the SwiftKey layout?  It's pretty annoying that everytime I want to type .com I get a space and capitalized C after the period. A one-touch .com key would be fantastic!

I am using SwitfKey for a long time, but desperatly want to switch to mostly any other keyboard software, because since years, there are two catastrophic design flaws in the app, which could be solved in minutes of programming time:

1) The optional numeric bar just shows the numbers 1 to 0, and has no second layout... why! Every keyboard on this planet has easy access to ! for example on number key 1, but not SwiftKey

2) For Germany layout, it is catastrophic to access most important keys like ö ä ü ß in SwiftKey. For example: if you hold key u, the default selection is "<" instead of "ü" ... WHY!!! This is the most annoying thing for German customers.

Please change default selection for uoa to üöä.

Give easy and fast access to !?ß. The access through . is a mess and breaks usage flaw on normal keyboards.

Give option to manipulate the key layout and change keys you want to have.

Hello everyone.

I want to know that is it possible to change the number keys layout? I like to use Google and Samsung type keyboard layout for numbers.

Cannot find it even after following directions

I'd hoped this issue would have been fixed by now but it appears that it's not a very popular problem, and so I've decided to take it upon myself to provide the correct information to get it looked at. I have found a few other forum posts with the exact same issue, so I hope this helps you all too.

Here is the required information;

• Huawei P20 Pro - EE network, UK
• Android 8.1.0: Huawei's EMUI build, version CLT-L09 8.1.0.159(C782)
• Swiftkey version: 7.2.1.17
• Steps to reproduce:
• When typing in the standard layout QWERTY keboard, if pressing the "123" key in the very bottom-left of the keyboard, immediately and swiftly followed by punctuation such as a question mark (on the symbol/number layout that appears), the keyboard acts as though the "enter" key in the very bottom-right of the symbol keyboard is pressed before the punctuation you selected, despite not pressing it at all. This means that a new line begins before your punctuation, and it shouldn't. For example, if attempting to quickly type the word "What?" on the keyboard, you will get this instead:
  
  What
  ?
  
  
• I have added a link below to a screen-recording of the issue. In the video, you will see the "?" and the "enter" keys both light up as though both are being pressed, however only the "?" is actually being pressed. What you should see is "What?", there should not be a new line added before the "?". This happens with other punctuation also, but as the "?" is the most frequently used, I thought I'd go with that for the video.
• Link: https://vimeo.com/312434866 

Importantly: This error does NOT happen if you restore the Swiftkey application to its original version via the Google Playstore. The issue only begins when updating the application, and so the bug must have inadvertently been included recently. I can't remember when the issue started, but it has been a few months and a handful of updates, and the issue still remains.

I hope this information is sufficient to locate and fix this bug, it's a real nut-ache for me as it happens 95% of the time I use punctuation after a word.

Why am I being asked for my age to verify a beta keyboard app? Is it in case I type rude words?

Whenever I type a word that is not in my dictionary, the app shows me others forms of the word that I might want to add to the dictionary. I just want that list to stop popping on my screen. But I want the auto corrector to be in function. Is this possible?

Great other wise

When I tap on text to correct in a text message the options come up in a little black window in which it is almost impossible to read the options.  How do I change these colors to be readable?  No matter what theme I use the background for this little window is black and the words are black and faint gray.

Hi - I have a OnePlus 7 Pro running Android v10, set up for gesture control. As such, I no longer have any navigation buttons on the bottom of my display.

I am having a big problem with SwiftKey, where the keyboard can't be moved to the bottom of my display:

Aside from losing valuable screen real estate, this causes a lot of SwiftKey failures for me.

For example, If I am trying to type with the space bar, or enter key (or, any of the bottom keys), and accidentally hit just a little bit lower than the bottom row key, SwiftKey registers it as a "close keyboard" event, and I lose whatever I was typing. This is a HUGE pain in the rear!

Please update SwiftKey to allow the keyboard to be located at the bottom of the screen when the user has selected a gesture navigation method. Note that there are multiple manufacturers that have their own version of gesture navigation (like OnePlus), so the solution should be generic enough to detect that any gesture navigation implementation will allow the keyboard to be located at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks!

I am not liking this new theme and how it automatically takes over my custom theme. I've been a big fan of SwiftKey, but this will force me to change keyboards. I absolutely do not like the layout change that happens. Please give an option to change.
Thank you!

Keyboard seemingly randomly switched layouts so the top row now starts with "azerty" and the keys are all switched around. How do I return it to the standard "qwerty" layout?

Previously on an older version of my phone or possibly an older version of the OS on my phone I was able to see the text as I spoke it with voice recognition. This has since changed. It now shows a mic button and then shows a half dozen interpretations of what I said. I would like to switch it back to see the words as I type. Is that possible?

Why the keyboard not have undo and redo the text.

Pls if this characters in SwiftKey. Pls let us now about it if not then why?

Development Team,

I cannot find how I'm supposed to report bugs for SwiftKey Beta anywhere within the app or even anywhere on the website. Please advise as to the preferred method for doing so.

Thanks,
Crashier

O teclado omitiu a tecla Ç, e deveria estar presente no teclado para o padrão de escrita brasileiro ABNT.

Where did the Ç key go?
The keyboard omitted the Ç key, and should be present on the keyboard for the Brazilian ABNT writing pattern.
