Please add customization options for the symbol keyboard layout. The SwiftKey one is totally unintuitive - the normal symbol layout that's been in use for years didn't need reinventing, and it's one of the ways the standard Google keyboard is clearly superior for my use. The new layout completely trips up long-standing muscle memory for no discernable benefit.

Hi,

Sometimes the text field does not update correctly when typing in Whatsapp. When the cursor goes to the second line, the text field is still only one line high, which means that I can't see all the typed text. Swiftkey and Whatsapp are updated, and this has happened with iOS 10 and 11.

I don't know, if the root cause is in Swiftkey or Whatsapp, but I will report this also to the Whatsapp support.

Thanks! 

After iOS 11 update yesterday, even though I have SwiftKey set as the top keyboard, with Swiftmoji then the iPhone keyboard at the bottom, it's started opening the iPhone keyboard each time i open any app to type in. It does switch OK to SwiftKey and I can use it as normal then.

Soon after the update it wouldn't keep on SwiftKey at all, just immediately switched to the iPhone keyboard, but that seems better now.

Any ideas?

Hello, I'm a beta user, I don't bother with any other keyboard apps, this one is perfect. I do agree with all post that the voice to text button should be easier to access. Why can't you just create a custom keyboard (or two) 😀 with the key placement stand alone by itself...

Hi!

Recently, on whatsapp I noticed that the SwiftKey on whatsapp is not scrollable while typing a paragraph.

Anyone with the same error? I being typing in whatsapp, and the input area doesn't expand to display the complete text I type into the whatsapp text input. It just display a single line as an input area without expanding to the complete textarea.

I have iPhone SE, on latest update of iOS.

Thanks for any help.

Suggestions.

I'm used to the touchpal keyboard features (virtual buttons for : select all. Copy. Paste. Cut. Home. End)

Can you consider to embed it?

And then, the emoji is very annoying, that it is embedded in ENTER button.

Eg. Especially using Whatsapp typing, while scrolling the Whatsapp emoji, then the keyboard SwiftKey emoji pops up and override the Whatsapp emoji panel.

I am a loyal user of the Swiftkey keyboard!  Unfortunately the keyboard does not function properly on my new Samsung Galaxy S8. It jumps ahead a space mid-word then continues typing the word but at that point it is not a real word because it is the second half of the word. This is the case with about 50% of what I type.

Lately this app has taken a downturn. It constantly puts in the wrong word. When I backspace to fix it, the word I just input shows up. Ugh! Why wasn't it selected to start with. I've stopped and deliberately made sure I swiped exactly from letter to letter, and it will still put in what it wants to, but what I swiped or what my history would predict. It not only suggests by preemptively puts in a word I rarely use over what I've just used or have used hundreds of times since I stated this app.

Listen, I know. Long story short, got Swiftkey on my old phone for years, now I have a new phone and yeah, it won't sync. After hours of research, I found out why... According to Wikipedia...

"In 2016 SwiftKey users began reporting personal details given by SwiftKey as suggested words to other users whom does not have previous connections, other issue includes foreign language and obscene words. SwiftKey responded by disabling cloud sync for word suggestions and released an update to mitigate the issue."

I think this is why. Practically, Swiftkey is now peer-pressured. I think they don't want that issue to happen again, so that's why they don't solve the prediction problem, because that problem solved a previous issue and they don't want such issues to happen again.

Let's hope that they let it return... someday...

I used Swiftkey on my Xiaomi Mi5 for several years (more than 5 probably linked to my google account and recently switched to a Mi5, but when trying to retrieve my saved words (My data) from the previous smartphone, I am unsuccessful.

When trying to link with the google account I don't have any correct word predictions like my Mi5. I have already tried to switch to swiftkey beta, but also to no avail.

The odd thing is that by accessing the "Swiftkey data portal", going to "View data", I can see every list of saved words to export. But they do not appear on my android.

I'm really frustrated with that, and if I want to start over with a keyboard, I'll probably choose to migrate to another competitor that truly provides this feature.

It's been more than a month now, since SwiftKey stopped predicting my saved words, emails etc. Its very annoying and not at all time saving.
I'll appreciate if someone can point me to another keyboard other than gboard. I'm done with SwiftKey now. They couldn't care less about their customers. Tweeted them few times, no replies or anything. Just pathetic and sad experience now.

Today I updated windows to the new version with the clipboard that syncs supposedly with SwiftKey beta, only to come to the realisation that SwiftKey is not actually syncing with it. Can I get some help please?

The keys on my iPhone 7 are a little to small compared against the original keyboard. And it makes me do a lot of more mistakes.

Since yesterdays update the keyboard automatically switches to the incognito black mode. This keyboard lacks all the floating punctuation symbols like quotation marks etc which makes it unusable I literally cannot type in my passwords since the missing floating punctuation hasnt been been moved anywhere else. How do I either turn off this incognito mode or get my punctuation back.

Since the last update (7.1.7.33 as 7/11/2018) the SwiftKey Beta app keeps crashing. I'm using a Asus Zenfone 5 with Android Oreo 8.0.

The latest swiftkey keyboard beta update 7.1.7.31 turns keyboard key pop ups permanently on. Using the toggle in settings does nothing to fix it.

Probably 85% of the mistakes I have to correct are the result of hitting the period key instead of the space bar. Can we have an option to move it, or make it a hard-press or long-press, or.....something. It's my only significant problem with an otherwise outstanding keyboard. Thanks much.

Please allow user to place characters in place for long press on several keys.

This has been suggested for Android (by Matt Winans).

Customization is important because there are many special characters, and there is large variability in the characters to which different users wish quick access.

The concept appears in Blink keyboard, but their implementation is terrible.

Remove prediction does not seem to do what it's meant to do. It will forget the word but if you keep writing it explicitly then it will relearn it and predict it again.

This is very frustrating ...

When using Swiftkey in coding/scripting applications I often have to undo the auto space/cap swiftkey does.

If you want to write something like "!test" it will automatically make it "! Test" same with file names ".nomedia" will become  " .Nomedia" (or ". nomedia" if the app has auto cap disabled for that field).

In most applications (in english at least) if you have a punctuation that doesn't come at the end of another non space character, then you likely don't mean it as part of a normal sentence and don't want the space and auto capitalization.

Would it be possible to change this or get an option to disable this? Right now using it for anything aside from natural conversational typing is almost counter productive because of it.

Will SwiftKey ever implement a "bad word" filter toggle in the settings? 

Currently, trying to search for gifs using...explicit or colorful language, only yields "No Search Results." This is silly at best, annoying at worst. Why the language filter? 

They only reason why I don't like swift key compared to gboard is due to lack of quick access to voice input. Can you please bring voice input key top right as it's currently placed in the gboard. To be honest Windows phone keyboard was so much better.

Do I have to delete and reinstall swiftkey to reset the keyboard map?

Using the latest version of Swiftkey and Swiftkey Beta cause scaling issues on the keyboard. Using the Galaxy S9+ with resolution set to WQHD+. Have to set keyboard to "Smallest" currently. Tried removing apps, reinstalling and clearing data, no changes.

Issue was not present on my S8+.

Searching is very important sometimes while writing. It is very annoying minimize app -> open browser -> search & copy -> minimize browser -> again open app & paste. So we wish you will bring this feature very near future and SwiftKey will not disappoint us.

The whole long press and "do not predict again" thing doesn't work at all. There are numerous words I have tried to remove, but they come back immediately. For example, I'm trying to remove God with a capital G so it won't capitalize the G every time I type god. I type god and long press to remove it, then I immediately type god and boom, it auto capitalizes to God. What is the point of having "do not predict again" if it doesn't do anything! How can I ACTUALLY remove a word from my autocorrect!

May we please have the interrobang character, ‽, on our keyboards? Perhaps as another option when long-tapping the full stop key?

Hey guys, I love SwiftKey and although I dabble with other third party keyboards, I always find myself coming back, so thank you!!

This round I hooked into the beta version, it seemed in the last update (dated 15 Feb 2018) we've added in the Genie Ball for emoji suggestions. As brilliant of a feature this is, I've yet to have it accurately predict my emoji, partly due to the fact that different people get different emojis, for example I send my girlfriend purple hearts, everyone else usually gets red.

At this point, my request/suggestion is that the default emoji tab be reverted to the recents as opposed to the suggestions. By all means keep the suggestions for the second tab, but I much prefer the recents to be the first tab.

Thanks again!!
