How can i deactivate vibration on typing characters?

How can I disable the multilingual prediction feature (bug).

It is unwanted, uncalled fore, unnecessary, useless, counterproductive, counter-intuitive, and annoying.

Otherwise your app is awesome, until the next update (which hopefully will get rid of this feature) I will be switching to another keyboard, which is a shame.

I'm a huge fan of SwiftKey and have been using it off and on since it's earliest days. However, one little thing causes me endless frustration.

I use Google+ a lot. Google+ uses "_", "*" and "-" for formatting. SwiftKey insists and very aggressively putting spaces after - and removing spaces before _.

_ in particular really frustrates me. With the spaces after - I can just tap backspace and continue, but with_ a battle ensues involving careful hunt and peck to tap just the right spot.

I don't mind sacrificing all auto spacing but of course I'd prefer to just change those in particular. Any hope for me?

I just updated today and auto space after a period is gone and it's killing me.

- it shows me choose account but the options not showing up.

Hi,

i've been using Swiftkey for a long time to edit spreadsheets in Excel for Android. After the last update (21/08 if i'm correct) the prediction words on the upper side of the swiftkey keyboard do not show up!

Before the update the prediction was working flawlessly when i was editing a cell. Did you change that on purpose or is it a bug. I hope it's just a bug because i need the predictions back!

Thank you

I would like SwiftKey to support gifs

Hello,

on Monday I've upgraded my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0 Lollipop official factory image (clean installation). Now, when I recieve a message via WhatsApp and

hit quick reply in lock screen WhatsApp notification, SwiftKey go crazy and starts to "flicker". There is no other solution but rebooting the phone, which is

very annoying. I've switched therefore to default Android keyboard and everything works fine. Could anyone confirm that issue?

Thanks in advance,

JK

I have a s6 which has just updated to Android version 7. I have swiftkey set as my default keyboard and it works fine. However, when I go to type a text message, if I hit the emoji icon on the one line entry field, I get the massage "samsung keyboard has stopped working", even though its set to default and I can see the swiftkey keyboard. I have to disable swiftkey and set back to Samsung in order for it to work again. Any ideas?

I just switched from the Galaxy S10+ to the Note 10+ and my dictionary won't sync. I see all my words are in the cloud when I look at my account data. When I force a sync it says last synced a minute ago. This is the first time this has happened when I've switched phones. I've cleared the cache, forced sync, uninstalled, reinstalled, force sync and nothing has worked. Is this a bug or am I running into some issues? 

Hi,
I know it has been fixed one year ago but the latest update made my keyboard far too big.
Here are screenshots of the different sizes: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dcavhvbj2it8byl/AABIrKlbKm9ZQfek39ZbmvXea?dl=0
Please fix this quickly :)
Thanks

Hi!
I've updated my phone to the last version of Android nougat newly. But unfortunately the size of the keyboard got too big.
I use 2560*1440 resolution.
I hope SwiftKey team will fix it soon in new update. 

Galaxy Note 5

SwiftKey version : 6.5.6.22
Thanks

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.

Why does a space appear before a semicolon?

I was over the moon with my 'Light' theme until yesterday when you 'updated' it and now it's ugly and caps lock is no longer a distinctive blue which was so helpful.

Can I get my 'old' light theme back please?

I cannot for the life of me get SwiftKey to stop replacing "I'm" with "I". It happens about 50% of the time and makes for some incredibly odd sounding sentences like "hey I going to the store" or "I on my way".

If I just repeatedly flow "I'm" this happens: "I I'm In I I'm I I'm I I'm I I'm I'm" where it alternates between the two, this is after telling it "do not predict I again".

I even turned off autocorrect and it STILL does it.

Device is an AT&T branded Samsung Galaxy S8 running Android 7.0, using SwiftKey Beta 6.6.2.25. Steps to reproduce: try to type (using flow) "I'm". 

Trying to use the translator, I get a message that "Something went wrong. Restart the translator." I have such a problem only with mobile Internet

Pressing the emoji icon when writing an SMS (built in function on Samsung Galaxy S6) makes the Samsung Keyboard to crash while using Swiftkey. This hasen't been a problem until the new update came out for the phone about a week ago.

You have to restart your phone, and uninstall Swiftkey to prevent the notification from popping up, you can't use the keyboard otherwise. 

I've tried other keyboard apps and some of them have the same issue.

I really love Swiftkey and I've used it for many years. Can you please come up with a fix, the problem is EXTREMLY annoying. 

Thanks!

Since installing SwiftKey on my new galaxy S8, my recently used emoji are not being saved. When I switch back to Samsung's keyboard they work fine.

Please advise!

Hey,

I started using SwiftKey this past month after testing it out on my new phone and I think I'm sticking with it. But one thing I loathe about it is how all the characters on the Arabic keyboard are scattered around with no logical connection between them, I'm not talking about the main letters but the ones you get when you long press a letter.

Let me give you an example, in both Google's GBoard and Apple's keyboard and probably every keyboard out there when you long-press on the letter Alif (ا), the equivalent of A, you'd get all the variations أإآء... But SwiftKey kind of have them scattered around like on a physical keyboard which is not very thoughtful. This leaves me either guessing or using an ugly theme with all the letters shown.

This problem is present on both the main beta releases of the keyboard on iOS and Android.

Just installed SwiftKey on my new mobile. when I want to login with my Google account (button sign in with Google) it's loading for hours (I see the loading circle on a white background).
Phone: Galaxy S9, Android 9.0 (two days before I had the android version before and had the same problem) and yes, I installed and deleted it meanwhile more times.   

Is there any shortcut to Switch Between Languages? Every time I have to go to settings to select required Language. Very Lengthy Process.

اخواني لوحه المفاتيح العربي في جوال هونور ١٠ تكون الارقام عربيه وانا اريدها تكون انجليزي الارقام فقط دون الحاجه لتحويل اللغه هل من طريقه جربت كل شي مافاد

My brothers the Arabic keyboard in Honnor Mobile 10 The numbers are Arabic and I want them to be English only numbers without having to convert the language is it from the way I tried every thing

Hi. I'm using arrows keys on my keyboard but is often for me that instead of space bar I'm pressing arrow key and it make me a lot of mistakes. Can you add possibility to change arrow keys to total top position above number keys?

Currently using latest beta.  I am a technical / computer person and therefore my writing vocabulary often includes things with period/dots in them that are not words (i.e.  e.g.  192.168.1.1 www.vcu.edu and so-on).  The constant forced auto-insertion of a space when I am trying to use a period as a dot, not as punctuation, is driving me crazy and often forces mangled/incorrect emails, texts, etc.  I thought turning on the option to insert a period by double-tapping the space bar would turn that off - it did not.

I seem to recall in a previous version of Swiftkey there was the ability to turn off the dot/period from forcing a space after it.

I think when I tried another keyboard (GBoard?) it did not do that.  However, I am used to the way Swiftkey works and would hate to switch to something else....

Hi,

For the past month or so, the swiftkey stats section is displaying 'oops something went wrong our end check back later' has anyone else encountered this? It seems strange it's been going on so long, I've tried logging out and back in again but no joy.

Thanks

Hi. After my unit was updated to Android P, when Swift keyboard is activated, the navigation bar (bottom) turns white, despite having the dark theme setted in Android. This doesn't happen with Gboard. I didn't have this issue with android 8. Am I missing a particular setting?

Keyboard constantly crashes on new beta update had to dissble

Something you did made the key's to small even with the l largest setting.... please stop changing thing's that aren't broken
