Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

i've been using Swiftkey Keyboard for a long time and now.

on any of my previous phones, including the S20 Ultra which i used from its introduction around Feb/March 2020 till just a week ago, everything was fine as usual.

with this new Samsung S21 Ultra, however, i get very frequent (rmultiple times each day, very annoying!) pop ups requesting something. i can't even tell what it's requesting, but it seems like it's asking me to confirm my keyboard choice or possibly Samsung Keyboard asking me if i want to use the Samsung Keyboard? i can't tell, as it doesn't have an explicit question asking me anything. when the pop up shows up, the bullet point for selecting which keyboard i want to use has ALREADY selected/highlighted the Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard. i have no idea why either the S21 Ultra or Samsung Keyboard or something else keeps wanting me to confirm this multiple times each and every day!

may i please kindly ask if someone could please try to help me resolve this please?

thank you in advance.

On my new Galaxy S21 I’ve got this theme called “Samsung Adaptive”, this is separate to the normal standard “adaptive” theme, this Samsung adaptive theme looks pretty much identical to Gboard’s design and it looks really cool.

I tried to get the theme on my older Note10+ but I can’t find it, both phone’s SwiftKey app version are on 7.7.1.8

I’ve noticed that SwiftKey came preinstalled and it’s a system app that can’t be uninstalled on the Galaxy S21, can I assume that this theme is a Galaxy S21 exclusive? I really hope this theme comes to older phones!

I’m getting an error message when trying to upload screenshots of the theme, here’s an Imgur link to it: https://imgur.com/a/peWpLdW

Hi!
First of all, I'm used to inputting my texts with swype and Samsung stock keyboard, so I was surprised that SwiftKey doesn't offer an option that enables deleting entire words via one short tap on the backspace key after using the "Flow" method. Having to press the backspace continuously or repeatedly everytime "flow" doesn't recognize a word correctly really slows me down a lot, especially as I have more than just English active at the same time.

Besides it really doesn't make much sense to delete just a few letters at a time if "flow" didn't recognize the correct word in the first place.

Please do something about this!

When I reply to message and select a GIF I get prompted for the recipient as though it is a new message. This loses the recipient for the reply. This happens in all of my messaging apps. It doesn't happen with emojis. Why?

I have a thin underline when i use flow on my swiftkey and when in snapchat the underline just stays there and it shows for the person who is receiving my snap. My question is that can it be disabled since i find it very irritating. Thanks for the answer already!

Hello

After my microphone quit working I spent three hours messing around and finally got it somewhat back. Seems that "Google Voice Typing" was toggled on and interfering with SwiftKey. After I turned that off it seems to work but now I have another problem. Now I'm seeing this screen (See attached) that I've never seen before that has to do with Google and it's giving me suggestions but it's causing another issue. It's creating one more step before I can send a text and more importantly...it also doesn't listen as long before and  it quits recording.so I find myself having to erase the text and start it over again. It used to give me the option to continue my existing text. Do you know if this has anything to do with SwiftKey or with Google

Thank you in advance for any suggestions

I haven't seen a way to do this yet, but I find the standard emoticons that are offered to be very bad and lacking in terms of the number of different options.
For instance, literally nobody I know uses ":-D", it's always ":D" which makes this function basically useless for me personally because it seems completely unnatural.

But those are quick to type out yourself, I think it's much more important to add ones that you can't easily recreate on your own like "( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" or better, just give people the option to add and customize emoticons themselves.

I'm aware that you can add them to your clipboard and assign shortcuts, but I would personally prefer having them in the same tab as the standard emoticons, that would be much more convenient and logical in my opinion.

I would like to know how to type full-width space.

Could someone help me?

Is it possible to set discreet sizes depending on whether the phone is in portrait or landscape mode? I feel like this used to be an option but I don't see it anywhere.

If its not possible, this option should be included in a future update. Simply scaling the portrait size for landscape doesn't work very well on taller phones like the OnePlus 8 Pro. 

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

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.

Hi,

I was wondering if there was anyway to switch the "," button with the "." button? Also is there a way I could change the default "." button to be a "?"

They have as far as I know never been included in SwiftKey.

They look like this « » and ought to be accessible from some special keys (by long-press).

Thank you.
