Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

This happens random and seldomly, but it does.

Sometimes when I have the keyboard open, and switch to another app, the keyboard doesn't retract.

This has happened on WhatsApp and Chrome as well.

• Android 6.0.1 stock
• Swiftkey v6.5.6.22

When I first downloaded and installed this app I was able to select Spanish. However for totally unknown reasons my Samsung Android phone continually switch the keyboard back to Google. Now when I attempt to select Swiftkey I don't get any any option to select the Spanish keyboard. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice without success. There is no place for me to select the Spanish keyboard. This is lousy software totally lacking in logical intuition. I cannot imagine what kind of mentality wrote the code for this rubbish. . 

Arabic layout has too many buttons for smartphones, but it seems suitable for tablets, as i is almost identical to real physical Arabic keyboard, which makes sense, but buttons gets too crowded, small, hard to type,inaccurate and slow to type.

You can easily add another layout with one less character in each line, and make it as another Arabic layout, like name it "Smartphone Arabic" and he original one "Tablet Arabic"

I use 6.5.6.22 with ta/en keyboard but I see no tamil prediction for transliterated English input.

Hello guys. Please consider adding the WORKMAN keyboard layout. Its supported by most major desktop OSes but android is yet to catch up.Thank You

Hi, I really love how SwiftKey works and learns personal words automatically from SMS/Gmail/Facebook etc.

It would be really nice if a whatsapp option is all so added in the *Learn From* section.

People nowadays rarely use sms and most of the communication happens through whatsapp.

Kindly message me if there is any workaround for that as well.

Thanks

Hello. Wouldn't it be nice if we could add our own emojis? It would be great if we could use a picture file and with the help of swiftkey make it as a standard little emoji.

Hi I'm just wondering if there's a way to make the flow line a bit smaller when typing with the flow.

Double taping space bar can make a period. Would it be possible to extend the feature, making it possible to choose a different command (we all have different communication techniques) like a dash (-) or with spaces ( - )... a + sign or whatever. Maybe a small point, but in the search (hunt) for faster and more intuitive typing happits, using a fragment of a second instead of 2 seconds, counts a lot in the long run :).

Hello,

I would like to ask you to make available a QWERTY layout for Portuguese with the letter Ç, just like there's a layout for spanish with Ñ. It's horrible having to long press C everytime we want to put an Ç. Ç is as important for portuguese just as ñ is to spanish. Please make it available.

Thank you,

I type a letter. Three words appear in the suggestion bar. I type another letter. Three new words appear in the suggestion bar. Sometimes the same word appears both times. In those cases, don't move the word from one position in the suggestion bar to another. If the same word(s) appear in consecutive suggestion sets, make them stationary. Sometimes, the eye sees the desired word in the suggestion bar but the finger types another letter and the word moves. When the finger goes to tap the word it has moved and the wrong word is typed. This is very annoying.

Hi All-

I've had my Swiftkey keyboard sizes set differently for landscape and portrait for years.

Portrait = Small and Landscape = Large

Swiftkey has always toggled between sizes when I rotated my phone.

All of a sudden, Swiftkey has stopped size swapping  when rotated,

on 2 different phones.  (Galaxy S6 and LG G6)

Forum search resulted in no matches for this issue.

Yes, my phone display  is set to "auto-rotate" and both the phone, and the Swiftkey rotates on my display.

But, Swiftkey simply has stopped changing keyboard sizes when rotated.

Please help.

Thanks in advance. 

For some reason some of the saved clipboard shortcuts are not transposing in Gmail. For instance, I set 1 to be a shortcut for my signature:

Vincent Costa
RE/MAX Competitive Edge
908-242-6782

Which worked perfectly here but in Gmail for some reason all it types is "2e". 2e. This is very recent. Within the past few days. I don't know why.

Repro
- use SwiftKey as default keyboard on Android 7
- on board to company portal/Intune, which requires complex unlock/power on PIN
- keyboard blinks/flashes 2 seconds or so after being invoked to enter PIN (sometimes missing input)

Expected behavior: keyboard doesn't flash/blink or miss characters during PIN input

Is there any way to have $ symbol as primary instead of €??

It would be quite useful, if there were a way to search for emojis, when the Emoji button has been pressed.

It should be kind of like how Gboard does it, where you switch to Emoji mode and then you can search (eg. you type "cat" and see the cat emoji 🐈).

This is a feature request for the SwitfKey Android keyboard; I cannot use Swiftmoji, as it is english only and not available in Switzerland.

Hi i am using redmi note 3; from last two days in my swift key board it showing "unable to load lanaguage" on the top of the key. When i am click their it opens setting of language where i already updated my selected language, but still facing same issue.
So can any one please help me to solve it.
Thanks.

How to write combined words in marathi?

Trace out what you think is "clown" on the keyboard. SwiftKey inserts "clean" instead. Erase, trace it again. SwiftKey inserts "clean" again. Erase, curse out the phone, trace it again, this time carefully. SWIFTKEY INSERTS THE SAME *!@#(*!@$ WRONG WORD AGAIN! UGH! Manually type it out, letter by letter like some hairy primate living in 1999.

If the suggestion presented was deleted already, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT SUGGEST IT AGAIN for this session! I clearly didn't want it the first time (or second or THIRD TIME.) Please refer to the definition of "insanity" for more information.

Yes, sometimes the intended word is available to click, but most times it's not there at all. Instead there are three or four other words that are not even close to the intended word. Fat fingers, or whatever.

Thanks. Great app otherwise.

Since i last changed the layout of swiftkey it won't load the language and types in capitel only if i don't change it. (Swipe doesn't function)

I've changed the layout back and have set the languages off and on again but it does only help a few minutes and then i have the same issue again.

I've contacted support numerous times with not a single good response.
I'm running Android 6.0.1 with SwiftKey 6.5.5.30 on a Samsung Galaxy S5... If that means anything.

When i first open the keyboard,i see the words in the prediction field. Right now it was "store, rhombus, photoshop. " those three words appear when i open the keyboard. I know they appear because i was using them frequently recently.

Anyways, I'll begin to type a sentence and everything seems to be working fine except after typing some words, those three words appear again as predictions. So if i flow "table" i might see in the prediction those three words,even though table appears in the text field. When I begin to flow the next word, the auto insert space enters the middle word, "rhombus. " this is obviously a design flaw and one that no one wants to address especially when i contact support.

The sentence "I left the keys on the table" should not be predicted "i left the keys on the rhombus" considering i didn't select "rhombus" as a word to replace the correctly flowed "table"

This is terrible because it makes using your keyboard useless and forces me to use gboard like other users have been.. I want to continue to use SwiftKey because of the arrow keys and auto correct that was available in chrome which gboard doesn't have either. But at least their keyboard works as intended.

How i can switch off the dictionary that appear when i'm typing, actually not the predictions bar above the number row but the words come out that listed with white background. I love using SwiftKey for about 5 years now . I wish can show the picture but there's no option to upload the pic on submitting this questions . Hope it could help me. Tq

I have much difficulty trying to type certain letters in the middle of my keyboard. TYGH are the problem keys.

I have about 40 clipboard items pinned on one android device. Is there an easy way to get these on my other android devices so that I don't have to manually enter them all over again? Thanks.

I'm gonna give SwiftKey a shot after getting pissed at swype. How do I get rid of the line being drawn on the screen? I'm on a LG stylo2.

Hi,

Galaxy S7. Android 7.0. Ever since I upgraded my software to 7.0 Swiftkey has been doing some really weird things. Always choosing some words to start a sentence with, regardless of how close they are. Just then I swiped 'download' and it came up with 'I'. Before I typed almost anything and it came up with 'How'. Couldn't type "I'm" without it correcting to "i". I had to ask Swiftkey to forget these words so they wouldn't autocorrect to them.

Any ideas? Very frustrating.

It will insert word automatically, so sometimes t nsert wrong word. Please change back to before.

⚠️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have been using SwiftKey since I first switched to Android about five years ago I do believe the SwiftKey is the best keyboard for Android. One problem I always have had is I constantly go to hit the spacebar and I enter a "." {period} I believe it would be great if I could make the space bar either larger or remove the punctuation key next to the space bar all together. It seems no matter how hard I try if I am typing fast I can't seem to hit that space bar without hitting the period at least once every 25 words. It would be great if even there were certain skins that maybe changed the size of the space bar or remove certain keys. All the other keys I hit by mistake autocorrect takes care of. I still believe screen responsiveness is a lot better on iOS than Android so I don't believe this is really a SwiftKey issue or my typing but SwiftKey does help the shortcomings of this android app issue.
