Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

So I have an intermittent issue with my S8+ and SwiftKey. Occasionally haptic feedback and sound will not work when typing. This occurs in all programs that require typing, Gmail K9 email, Facebook messenger, whatsapp and so on. As well when this occurs you cannot get the the bottom row of characters to long press and give you the special character ($ " _ ; etc). The only way to get things to work is to press the number button and then it works, hit the alphabet button to return to the normal typing screen and all is good. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm using SwiftKey beta for Android and since sometime in the past month, when I go to type a message, then an emoji, SwiftKey takes away the space. Is this an issue with my phone (Pixel XL on 8.1), or SwiftKey? An example is if I typed:

Hi (space) :)

It will come out as:

Hi:)

Not:

Hi :)

Been driving me crazy. Any suggestions?

I'm lefthanded. That'sy my faith of course, but it should be nice if the underlaying keyboard, with the ! and the ? on it could ben mirrored, so that the ? and ! are on the left side.
Thanks!

Instead of "about", I get "about-face", "never" isn"never-ending" and I get made up words that male no sense as words, alone and I can never just write "some". Ends up being "something" or "somewhere" etc. Without (wrote "without" and it put " with outcomes" btw) any exaggeration, at least 30% of my typed words become something ridiculous. Im typing serious emails on my mobile to my bosses in another country or other emails to clients and it looks like I'm a fool. It's been years and ot keeps doing it this. If it were tablets for his Samsung keyboard being worse for options, I'd abandon SwiftKey altogether. It's maddening. I've almost smashed my phone numerous times. It adds actual full words that i didn't type itll add "not" to turn a positive into a negative like "it is working" will come out (thanks to SwiftKey) as it is not working "and change the message dramatically 180 degrees. That leads to trouble. I paid for this. I have installed, reinstalled multiple times, tried beta and back and forth and same. Fix it, please!! 8 have all predictors and corrects switched off and still changes my sentences. Even voice dictation gives me ridiculous sentences. It's so maddening.

Stavo provando i vari temi e poi volevo a ritornare a quello originale, swift Huawei.
Il problema è quando lo seleziono non si applicha, rimanendo con il penultimo tema scelto prima di Huawei.

when i place full full stop it automatically insert space and i dont want it so how to diable automatically insertion of space after fullstop

When I switch into a secondary user account on Android, the "copy into clipboard" does not work anymore.
This can be seen easily from the swiftkey clipboard viewer.
Note that it works fine in the main user account, but fails in 2 alternate user accounts.
It used to work fine a few days ago, seems to be related with latest update.

Jumping windows does not work while typing the keyboard. For instance, when typing the ",!?" boton It doesn't show the jumping window that illustrates where each symbol is located.
Can't activate it...

. dan sonra. yani noktadan sonra boşluk koymasını kaldırmak istiyorum. yardımcı olun

please provide text editor feature in swiftkey app e.g cut,copy, paste etc. options, just like other keyboards.........

Hi. I am using swift key for quite a while. Now I have a new device with android 7 and new html pages that uses ace syntax highlight. With SwiftKey it is impossible to use it (standard Google keyboard is ok). Can be tested on ace syntax highlighter homepage https://ace.c9.io

Es el mejor teclado pero una pregunta porque no ponen más temas que sean más llamativos para mujeres

I found a bug in this awesome keyboard, it would be great to have it fixed.

The "Do not predict "(word)" again" does not work. When clicked OK it continues to predict the word anyway. Please have this fixed.

Thanks for the great work so far

The Verizon tech coach helped me out and determined it was one of my apps making my phone freeze forcing a restart. As it turns out it was your product! I'm very disappointed because I like your keyboard infinitely better than the Samsung keyboard. Is there anything you're doing to rectify this situation? I have the Galaxy 8 plus, and unfortunately You Must Believe since I get rid of your app my phone has not frozen up

I use SwiftKey to type in Persian (Farsi) on Android. Is it possible to type ZWNJ (zero-width non-joiner)? Thanks!

I'm having a strange problem with my keyboard. The keyboard no longer minimizes when I pull down the notification bar on my s7 edge. The keyboard will also remain visible if I leave it open and then turn off my phone. What i mean is, if i send a text and then turn off the phone, when i hit the power button again, the keyboard is visible (and functional) on the locked screen. It's as if the keyboard is always overlapping everything on the phone. This problem started within in the last few months but I lived with it and after doing a factory reset yesterday, I see that this problem is with swiftkey because it didn't happen with the stock samsung keyboard but did appear after I reinstalled swiftkey.

So, oftentimes when I insert an email address or other auto populated text, it adds a space automatically, which either makes the login credentials come back as incorrect, or during registration, that added space can give you an error every time, even when you know the email addy is correct. How can you stop it? It drives me crazy!

benim android sürümü 7.0 ve hala emojiler eski halinde neden?

I have been a SwiftKey user for some years now primarily because the keyboard supports multiple languages (namely, Japanse, English and German).

Unfortuntately, my satisfcation with Japanese language feature has deteriorated considerably over the last year or so due to its very poor level of Japanese prediction. Below are examples of such poor predictions:

Typing "とうじょうけん" brings up "登場kenn、登場けん、とう条件、頭条件、トウジョウケン、とうじょうけん、ﾄｳｼﾞｮｳｹﾝ", etc. as the candidates. As any Japanese user knows, there are no such words as "登場kenn、登場けん、とう条件、頭条件" and the correct candidate would be "搭乗券".

Typing "いえのきど” brings up "家のキド、I えのきdo、家のきど、家の木戸", etc. where the fourth candidate "家の木戸" is the most likely candiate. Maybe those learning beginner Japanese might use either the first or the third candiate, but the second candidate "I えのきdo" is not even a Japanese word. 

Typing "とうさんのきき" brings up "父さんの危機、父さんの聞き、父さんの聴き、父さんのきき、トウサンノキキ", etc. as the candidates. ”父さんの危機” is a good candiate but another likely cadidate would be "倒産の危機".

Typing "ふどうさんばいばい" brings up "不動産(・ω・)ノ、hudousannbaibai、不動、浮動、フドウサンバイバイ、ふどうさんばいばい", etc. as the candidates. OK, maybe some people use "不動産(・ω・)ノ、hudousannbaibai" but the most probable cadidate would be "不動産売買".

While I have been such a great admirer of SwiftKey and cannot express enough how grateful I have been to the software (not only mentioning that is is free of charge!!), I am also hugely disappointed by the fact SwiftKey has not made any improvement on Japanese prediction feature.

I would like keep using the keyboard for as long as I can foresee in the future, but I am honestly not sure how long I can bear with the lack of qualitiy prediction. It would be great if the production team can look into this problem seriouly then you wont lose at least one Japanese customer :)

Hola.
¿Hay alguna forma de poder saber que idioma estás usando con el teclado?
Antes, en la barra espaciadora podías ver el idioma actual del teclado y podías cambiarlo. Ahora no veo esa opción.
Tengo Android Oreo.
Muchas gracias.

The new upgrade to Instagram shows a small reply window right under the post. When I tap it, the cursor shows up for a response, but the keyboard does not pop up. I have to use the old response method. Not a big deal, but just wondered if you could fix it?

I just upgraded to a pixel 2 xl, but with SwiftKey installed sometimes the keyboard will disappear multiple times before staying. This only happens with SwiftKey on Hangouts.

Ideas?

Hi.
Would be great that once I connect phone to Bluetooth keyboard SwiftKey will hide. This function I have in anyKey keyboard and always when I connect to Bluetooth keyboard I need to switch to Anykey keyboard.
I can you add it?

Please allow the users to disable de automatic dictionary and predictions. I use your keyboard because by far is the smallest keyboard (judged by space taken on my screen) and I love it for that. Also keys are thicker and make it easier to type even tho they are shorter. But the prediction bar kills me, also underlining words and deleting the whole word while pressing backspace. Please implement the option and don't force me to go back to the stupid unnecesarily tall keyboards like google outputs today (and for the record, I chose the smallest height in google keyboard and I still find it way too tall, even on the screen of the P10 lite). "Predicted" thanks and I hope to see you answering my request. Honest regards.

how to disable autospace after :
it is very annoying, especially when being used to type out emoticons...

In the new version updated January 22nd a long press doesn't show the multiple choices correctly

Android 8.1 on a Pixel 2 XL SwiftKey beta 6.7.6.19 In the Fitbit app, I type 145.8 and I get 1,458.

I have seen discussions and requests regarding the automatic space insertion after a period. I too wish there were options for automation insertion of characters. So I sent an email to Support and received their response. 

On Jan 21, 7:28 PM PST    I posted the following question/suggestion:

Is there a way to stop the automatic space after a period?
Most of the time I do not want a space following the period.

Perhaps an option in the settings area would help.

Thank you for contacting SwiftKey support!

At this time SwiftKey Keyboard does not support this feature.
We really appreciate your feedback and will certainly pass it along to our team.

Thanks for using SwiftKey!

Please add feature Text Expande case sensitive:

vc = você

Vc = Você

fds = fim de semana

Fds = Fim de semana

I've had a hard time writing small kana character such as in words like パーティー

The only reason I can type that word is because the prediction brings it up correctly. It works as expected for characters such as フィ, but not for writing combinations that start with テ because they all turn into チ variants, who is not what I want.
