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.

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. . 

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

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.

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 :).

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. 

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

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 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.

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

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'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.

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,

with the microsoft outlook Android app 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook&hl=en

Swiftkey (happens with both the normal and beta versions) starts lagging horribly. i.e., you need to wait a really long time (a  few seconds) for any key to appear on the screen. scrolling is slow and everything is slow. it feels like the phone has locked up. everything is back to normal once I kill outlook. It's fine with the stock samsung keyboard btw.

I'm running this on a samsung S7 with android 6.0.1. stock firmware supplied by my carrier. firmware version is g935Fxxu1cpl1    baseband version is g935fxxu1cpl2

Thanks,

Raj

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

Hello,

I just installed the latest version of swiftkey version 5.0.0.72 on my T-Mobile HTC one (M8) Android 4.4.2 HTC Sense 6.0. I followed the installation prompts and set swiftkey as the default keyboard. The keyboard itself is working great, but every time I switch applications the keyboard reverts back to the stock HTC sense keyboard. I can simply slide down the notification panel and switch the keyboard back to swiftkey but that gets annoying after awhile. I have been using the latest version of swiftkey beta version 4.5.0.68 and have had no problems with the keyboard reverting back to stock. I will remain on the beta version until I know this issue has been resolved on the latest version of swiftkey.

Thank you,

Garrett McPerry

Hello. Please help me. All the info saved in my SwiftKey account got deleted. I have been using this app for a while and now everything is gone! I tried to restart and update with my email address synced but I didn't get back my info... Please help me :(

Ived apparently added over 8,000 words to my vocabulary and have granted access to my Gmail and SMS. Yet, words this app should know by now continue to fail to get predicted.

Am I the only one complaining about this?

As it stands right now, the only thing keeping SwiftKey on my phone is the arrow keys, which I've yet to find elsewhere.

If I type a word that starts with a capital letter, followed by another word that starts with a capital letter, SwiftKey uncapitalises the first word! I have auto-correct and auto-capitalise turned off, but it doesn't seem to make any difference!

It's incredibly annoying! How do I stop it from doing this?

Hi I am not able to download my required language,despite my internet connection is on.

Please 4 wariant words

Whilst I still think the new flow is clearly a step backwards, I have found yet more bugs in it.

This is SwiftKey 6.5.5.30 on a Samsung S7 running Android 7.0.

1. If you just straight up flow a url, you get this:

http://google .com   (extra space inserted before the period)

2. Now I want to go back and prepend "drive" to "http://google.com."  I put the cursor in the correct position and flow "drive."  Now you get one of two options, seemingly arbitrarily:

http://drive .google.com   (extra space before the period)

or

http:// drive. google.com   (extra space before "drive" and after period)

I have no idea why one happens or the other.

At no point do you ever go near the spacebar, but there's spaces everywhere.

Please add tamil phonetics for easy typing.. There will be 10 million users will download if swiftkey has tamil phoentics.

With this latest update, 6.5.4.26, running Android 7.0 on Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge, when trying to capitalize one word, it automatically capitalizes the previous word.

Ex:
(How it should be)
That dog is REALLY good.

(How it appears)
That dog IS REALLY good.

Please help.This is horrendously irritating when trying to yell at friends, only trying to emphasize one word. Haha.

In your SwiftKey Bengali letters, one letter pronounced as 'yo' is missing. Hope you will arrange for inclusion of the same promptly with necessary update of your app.

The case switch feature causes multiple words to be capitalized. Typing an initialization while in swipe mode causes the previous word to be capitalized in addition to the intended word. Because swipe auto inserts a space only after the next word is swiped or next letter typed, it is impossible to capitalize the next word only. A workaround is to swipe then [space] then backspace to remove the duplicate, then CAPS CASE. And if auto period insert is also enabled, more gymnastics are required.

Typing the following :
foo(swiped) [CAPSCASE] abc(typed) [CAPS OFF] bar(swiped)
... Results in "FOO ABC bar" instead of "foo ABC bar".

I'm on Android 6, current swiftkey version.
