Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

 Using swiftkey with my Bluetooth keyboard works great until I alt-tab from a text input field.

It seems swiftkey gets stuck and none of my back buttons (physical button, mouse right click, and Esc) do anything until I select another text input field and then hit back to close the prediction selection.

If I turn off bluetooth while this is happening the swiftkey keyboard pops up on top of everything. Back buttons are still locked and the only way to hide the keyboard is to click a text input field and hit back.

I used to be able to get a compact keyboard on my Samsung tablet (rather than a ridiculously wide keyboard that covers the whole bottom of my landscape oriented screen). But I cannot find that option any more. Where is it? (same problem on my NOOK HD+)

Hello,

I'm using SwiftKey v6.5.3.35 on a Xiaomi Mi5s with MIUI 8.2.2.0 Global Stable on top of Android 6.0.1. I'm using it with the default font. I also had this issue with various phones and roms like Cyanogenmod, Touchwiz, etc.

This is a message (marked in blue) which I typed in Sinhala using Swiftkey

And this is the message which my friend got (iPhone 7 with iOS 10)

Some letters have errors in iOS. I saw this problem in other iOS versions as well. No matter what Swiftkey version, Android version or iOS version this problem remains with SInhala language.

When I typed the same message with Google Keyboard and Helakuru (another 3rd party keyboard specially for Sinhala typing) it was perfect. 

I think the problem is with the typing method of Swiftkey. Both other keyboards use a different method. Hope you guys can fix this it would be great.

Thanks

Da diverso tempo e in seguito ad un aggiornamento la tastiera SwiftKey SOLO in "Word" non applica lo spazio automatico. Quando premo le previsioni l'effetto è che il testo viene tutto attaccato. Inoltre quando tento di correggere una parola e premo la barra spaziatrice o mi elimina l'ultima lettera della parola o mi aggiunge un lettera identica a quella iniziale della parola. Quello che mi accade in pratica è questo: iltestomivienetuttoattaccato o se scrivo una parola qualsiasi ad esempio "farfalla." se correggo la parola mi diventa "farfal." oppure "ffarfalla".

Ho provato la tastiera su un altro tablet uguale al mio Samsung Galaxy S2 e il problema è lo stesso.

Grazie

While using swiftKey, I sometimes get a very strange auto suggetion, that predicts "davidstockmanscontracorner.com" (see in picture).

I dont know this site nor have i ever visited it before.

I have noticed this problem before, then performed a complete factory reset of the phone but i still get this suggestion which feels very strange (no backup form google used either).

Google did not really provide a solution and it also does not seem like a prominent problem.

What is wrong here ?

Can someone explain why words that I remove from the dictionary keep coming back automatically after a few minutes or hours?

For example, I am trying to remove the all caps word OK, because no one spells it like that anymore and I personally dislike it. 

Instead, I have the word Ok or ok in my dictionary. 

However, it keeps coming back every time and always defaults back to the obnoxious OK.

How can I stop it from coming back please. I've been trying to get rid of it for months now. Never used to be a problem in my previous account. 

One-handed mode on Stable SwiftKey screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/7vpl3WO.jpg  (in ONE-HANDED mode on this screenshot - Toolbar looks nice, contains at least SIX tool icons (!) and you can slide left<>right for other tools easily). SwiftKey version is 7.4.6.6 screenshot About screen https://i.imgur.com/GnwYzfe.png 

Now lets look on Swiftkey BETA from PlayStore last update January 16, 2020 with ABSOLUTELY NEW (very bad!) TOOLBAR in One-handed mode screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/eG6vqAU.jpg  (in ONE-HANDED mode on this screenshot - Toolbar looks terrible, all icons are hide, and in this mode, you can not add more than TWO tools, are u seriously?) If you change layout to Full screen mode you see more toolbar icons, screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/G6E1TtE.jpg  SK Beta 7.4.7.6 About screenshot https://i.imgur.com/WORbAJB.png 

The question is, your developers are tested at least something and any plans to fix? )) I see no one reported about this. I hope this non-scrollable, non-usable New toolbar implementation leave as a joke or just experiment... Because in stable SwiftKey app you can easily slide ALL enabled TOOLS in toolbar and in One-handed mode you see the same tools icons as in full screen mode.

In Beta now - you need to make extra taps on three point menu. And potentially I DO NOT WANT THIS (NEW) TOOLBAR in stable SK in future.

Please deactivate automatic spacing after typing a dot, or add an option to NOT insert a space (" ") after typing a dot/period ("."). It is very annoying, as the dot is a common character in any text field or text area (think input fields and text editors, not just web addresses, code editors and alike).

Although this issue has been reported several times, there's still no reaction from SwiftKey/Microsoft for SEVERAL YEARS. Maybe the issue is not tracked anymore as it is associated with a "permanently deleted user".

Hi guys,  I just did a software update on my Samsung Galaxy S10 and since then when I use the long press on the period and / or enter keys to access exclamations and emojis, I need to press on the small symbol above the key instead of long pressing anywhere on the key like before.  Please fix as it is very annoying

Want to use left hand

When the force dark mode feature is used in Android 10, the SwiftKey designs don't work as expected. Light and dark colours are messed up

How can I use flow typing on Chinese keyboard (swipe from letter to letter)?

Recently re-installed Android and thus Swiftkey. Now there is no longer any option to add additional accounts e.g. SMS, facebook, twitter to my account. Has this functionality been removed?

as nice as autocorrection and autoprediction may be, at times, as annoying can it be at other times. if you are a creative writer, especially autopredict can be your worst enemy, especially if you are writing about a subject Swiftkey knows nothing about. Same if you write in, or experiment with, different writing styles. all this does, is the writer more dumb, and feeds more data in the big data machine.
Not allowing me to remove this annoying prediction bar is just more proof that data collection means everything and the user means nothing. All we gonna end up with are people too dumb to write a coherent sentence without the help of a machine and further down the inability to communicate at all without the crutch of technology.
I would like to request that with all your efforts to speed up the writing process and make everybody use the same old boring words in the sequence most recently collected by you, to allow the folks who still write word by word, by selection of their own personal choice, to do so without having to look and be disturbed constantly by an annoying prediction bar

When I click Get an app to sync your clipboard across your devices in Windows 10 PC, I get a link for SwiftKey Beta version in my android device.

Now, SwiftKey final is already there, why they don't send the link of it, instead of Beta?

I assume (I may be wrong here) Beta is less stable, and it's only for testing, and it stops support once final version is released.

Given that all, will future sync feature (sync clipboard between android keyboard and Windows 10 PC) come to both SwiftKey and SwiftKey Beta?

I've found several users that are complaining about this annoying useless feature, for a fair amount of time, and we are still stuck with it. Is the idea we uninstall SwiftKey? Or is this forum just a sandbox exclusive for the users, with no SwiftKey moderators!?

Would it be possible to update the keyboard layout with the new change coming to phones? Just looking at my galaxy S10 plus with SwiftKey, the keyboard is positioned at the bottom without navbar, so would be great to "
Lift" it up abit.

I can't find how to contact anyone at SwiftKey. On the Samsung Galaxy S10, even the smallest keyboard option is huge huge huge jumbo gigantic gargantuan. Will anyone at SwiftKey listen and make a smaller option? It's an accessibility issue for me as a disabled person. Why is it so huge?

When i try to type ( ََََََََََََََََََََ ) in a word it types 5 ones like ( هروَََََّح ) and it should be like this ( هروَّح)
