Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

I'm so dissapointed that I can't download a different style of emojis. The included ones are ugly and may also look interely different when used in different apps. This is a major fault to SwiftKey Keyboard which is really good in all other aspects, the best one out there.

How can I switch to this number pad? 

I was roaming in SwiftKey and realized that there is a emoji icon in the top region of the keyboard also in the keyboard it self (right beside of caps lock and key for number). That's freaking useless. That's a waste of space in the keyboard area. Oh! There an option to remove it (By going to Typing > Keys > Dedicated emoji key) but there's a problem. When you disable it now go to the "Enter" key and that is annoying because every time I tap the "Enter" key it immediately redirect me to the emojis.

If you will analyze it deeply there's another option to remove it by activating the "Emoji acces on enter key" but the problem it didn't work. Can we report so the programmer/s can take action in this problem?

😓😓😓

hi
today I've updated SwiftKey for Android for the second time since I read about Bing search but can't find or enable it. it works on another Android phone!

Emoji predictions are set to OFF. But they keep appearing. Your useless support is telling me that this is not a bug but a feature.

Latest version of swiftkey.

Theme changed itself as I was trying to change theme to my custom theme. The theme is Phantom of the Opera. Which I have NEVER EVER DOWNLOADED BEFORE. It also will not let me switch back or even change this theme!!

I’ve recently changed phones from HTC One M8 to Samsung S6, and thus from Android 6 to 7. I love SwiftKey, but obviously it takes up a fair bit of the screen – on the HTC, there was a little upside down chevron at the bottom left, which would kind of drop the SwiftKey keyboard off the bottom of the screen, and let you read everything else.

Unfortunately, on the S6 it isn't there, and it’s a real pain having to scroll a message up and down in a little window half the size of the screen to read. I THINK I’ve tried every setting I can find – has it just gone? Wish it hadn’t :-(

Thanks

How to highlight, underline and make a word bold in SwiftKey keyboard?

The swiftkey app icon dissappeared from my home screen as well as the app drawer, how do i get it back?

My girlfriend has bought a new phone which is the Sony Xperia X Compact and we installed SwiftKey on it. The language used for it is Swiss French.

However, once installed, we noticed that the keyboard now shows accented letters on it directly (I am talking about the buttons / keys and NOT the long-press to show them).

This is disturbing because the keyboard has not the same layout as before. I am using SwiftKey on my phone (Sony Xperia X) and those keys are not present in mine.

Is it possible to remove them in any way ? Such as a layout configuration, or disabling an option ?

I can't provide yet a screenshot of the problem but will be able soon. Thank you !

Ever since adding a Spanish keyboard, my punctuation menu in English contains all the Spanish punctuation. This is terrible! Any way to fix?

does SwiftKey support handwriting input?

Is there any way to toggle the alphabets on and off in the keyboard in the custom configuration? There are options for symbols and borders but can the same be done for letters?

I have set 2 languages with swift key but do not know how to change It. With Google keyboard you swipe space but don't get that option with swift key

I recently purchased the Galaxy Note8. I just noticed today that the inverted explanation point and inverted question mark are no longer options. These were available on my galaxy s5. They are super helpful when typing in Spanish.

Hello I want to ask you on the keyboard there are calligraphy characters in Greek or American?

 I assume everyone at SwiftKey is younger than me. Great for you, but you are losing a lot of senior citizens as customers and users. I, like many senior citizens, have no use for the emoji on your keyboard. The only time I ever use emoji is on WhatsApp, and the emoji there is enough and unobtrusive. However, on your keyboard I frequently hit the emoji key when I aim at the z key or the comma. It is hugely irritating, to say the least. Can't you move the emoji key to the left or right of the number row at the top of the keyboard  or better still, provide an option to just disable it. Please. Please as a beta user that is the first thing I look for with every new release. 

I'm currently using SK Beta 6.6.6.17 on a Huawei MediaPad M3 tablet running Android 7.  A couple of days ago, I wanted to use SwiftKey to log into a site. I couldn't remember the password for the site, but I knew that I'd created a shortcut in the SW Beta's clipboard, and I thought I could thus use that to put in the password.  However, when the SK keyboard appeared, the hamburger menu's 3 bars were missing, and I couldn't access the clipboard.  I was stunned not to see the 3 bars of the hamburger menu. I realize this is a very vague description.  All I really want to know is whether there are times when the hamburger menu is supposed to disappear.  (I've used SK more recently and the menu has not again disappeared, so I'm at a loss to explain what happened.)

Is there a format bar or feature available so I can bold or underline text on my Android app?

Newest update  6.6.2.27 has shrunk my keyboard from the maximum size to tiny on my Samsung Galaxy S8 plus.  This happened last month and I posted about it here.  An update came out about a week ago that fixed the issue.  Now with this latest update it is back and the keyboard has shrunk even smaller than before.

Please address and correct this issue!  I love swiftkey but if I cant have the large size keyboard I will have to find another.

Thank you!

The keyboard didn't minimise automatically. It's very annoying like when I tap on a picture in whatsapp and the keyboard remained active when there's clearly no text can be input.

I have to press back in order to close the picture,
Press back again to minimise the keyboard,
And then tap again on the picture in order to see the picture full screen without the keyboard overlapping on top of the picture.

Can anyone help me please?

Hi, I no longer seem to have a question mark. The punctuation slider pops up, question mark is visible but impossible to select. Sliding over the question mark just wont work, it selects all the other items fine, just not the question mark. The question mark was working fine a few weeks ago, so maybe an upgrade broke it. Am using HTC10 + android.

Instructions are clear how to add apps (Facebook, Gmail, etc.) to personalization list, but how do I remove one that I'd previously added?

I type 'tom' a lot, as is the abbreviation of tomorrow. It keeps getting changed to 'Tom' even though I've deleted Tom from the dictionary hundreds of times.

Is this a bug?

With Android Nougat, the Theme Store is no more available.

SwiftKey Beta 6.6.0.19

Android 7.1.2

On my Mobile with Lollipop, it isn't an issue.

I have de-/ install the Application several times, the Beta and the official released version. I have delete the cache and Data of the app. I have give the app all permissions, which I can, I have disabled and enabled the account.... No way to reached the store to select add Themes. There are only the few themes available and visible which are coming during install.

The app will not download any previews or something more....

If I create an backup via Titan on my mobile and restore this one on my Tablet, I can select the restored Themes on the button (replaced the keyboard keys) but the store by himself doesn't work.

The apk is registered and the Accound ID is still available in the settings. The account is still aktiv.

Short form:

Lollipop works fine with the official and beta version

In Nougat it looks like, that the Theme Store isn't reached (or some internal paths are no more valid)

How do I get all the punctuation behind the keyboard?

I used to have it like the first image here

But after reinstalling, I have it like the second image.

Thanks in advance

How can I see (and access) the hamburger menu in password fields?

In password fields, there are no predictions, so the top-line of SwiftKey is missing. Consequently, there is no hamburger menu.

Why do I want to do this? Because I would like to copy-paste a very long and complicated password (yes, I know, that's unsecure) from my password manager into an entry field in which the OS paste function is for whatever reason not working.
