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.

A couple of versions ago, SwiftKey introduced a new feature called 'toolbar' for easy access to all kinds of features.
Great, though I'm never ever using it.
In fact, I don't want the extra bar to take up screen space because I don't use it anyway.
While typing though, I find myself pressing the +button in the top left corner every minute or so.
This makes me have to close the bar again with the x button, in order to get rid of the useless toolbar.
Introducing new functionality is great, however, please also give us the option to disable this functionality, if we never use it anyway.
I've been using SwiftKey for ages and this has been the only complaint I've had so far.
Thanks

When is the accuracy of flow going to get addressed, or even just the ability to reset the tap map?
It's been months and the accuracy is still totally horrific. It is and had been for a long time slightly better when you freshly Install, and the tap map hadn't adjusted the keys to help with accuracy. After a little use and the keys get "adjusted" and you are fighting against the AI that's trying to make things better. This has totally been a huge problem, but it seems to get over looked. As said before reinstalling helps with accuracy, but reinstalling and having to reteach your dictionary and all is not that great of an option,
Will accuracy ever improve?

From the official Microsoft SwiftKey page...
"Frustration-free typing", "Fast and accurate"
Have they even tried using it???

The navigation bar on Android devices almost always shows a light or white color navigation bar instead of the same color as the app.

Gboard is implementing this feature and I can't believe SwiftKey doesn't already have it.

If it is dark and I start to type, my entire screen is dark themed but the navigation bar will be a blinding white color.

There are many apps that change this setting to match the rest of the app. Please do it for the SwiftKey keyboard.

I have a Galaxy Note 8 and the only way to have a dark keyboard color is to manually change it for SwiftKey using.a third party app. I would rather it work natively.

It would be very nice if there were a way to adjust what symbol(s) are in the long-press menu of each key, as well as which one of those is the default. For instance:
* I use tilde (~) a lot, to indicate a sentence spoken with a joking tone. I'd gladly give up, say, double-quote on 'C' to get quicker access to it. (Yes, I know that if you turn on the dedicated number row, 'E' gets tilde as its long-press instead of 3, but that costs valuable screen real-estate.)
* The number keys,  when you have the dedicated number row on, don't have any long-press symbols assigned at all.
* As I Canadian, I use the English (UK) locale, since there isn't a dedicated Canadian English locale and we mostly use the British spellings for words. However, this means SwiftKey insists on making the default long-press symbol on 'X' the pound symbol; since our currency is the Canadian dollar, I'd much rather have it default to the dollar sign.
* As an English-speaker living in Québec, I occasionally need to type a French word or place name which contains an accented character. However the only accents which are used with any frequency are the acute, grave, and circumflex on a vowel or cedilla on 'C'; the other fifty-or-so accented characters available when the 'Show all accented characters' option is on are or little use to me.

My keyboard stopped showing word suggestions in Google + comments a few minutes ago. It works fine when creating a post and everywhere else, but I but not when adding comments. I tried rebooting, force stopping and clearing the cache, but no go. What happened?

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.

I just noticed that after a certain update my gifs are now censored. I've been a swift key user since the beginning (since the paid app days) and I'm now actively looking for an alternative. If I wanted to use an app that controls what I can search or use I would just use APPLE.

This is driving me crazy. I get spaces before, but not after, semicolons, colons, etc. But I get spaces after opening parenthesis and brackets. And spaces where there should be nine around apostrophes and quotation marks.
Consider these un-corrected lines:

Flavors :
Well go then ;don't come back.
Trey 'a coat
--(should have been "Trey's coat". Even tap-typing it didn't work the first time).

Why hasn't this been fixed yet? I love SwiftKey, but this is enough to drive me away.

Hello,
When I switch to the emoji in the last version, the page shown is a crystal ball (apparently it is the beta predictions), instead of the "recent" (with the clock page). Does anyone knows how to change that ?

Edit April 26, 2018 : well, it looks like the problem has been resolved with the last version. Thanks!

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.

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

I have Swedish and English activated, because I tend to use both languages. But whenever I'm typing a sentence in Swedish and hitting the letter "i", Swiftkey changes that to "I" (capital i) instead, even though my intention was to write "i" (which is a really, really common word in Swedish, meaning "in"). I've tried multiple times to tell swiftkey not to suggest "I" at all, but it doesn't help.

I'm pretty sure the reason is that "I" is an English word, which for some reason takes precedence over the Swedish (equally common) word "i". Please, please, could you develop the software such that the English suggestion does not automatically takes precendence in such "ties", but let it be based on the language the previous word belonged to instead? That would help a lot!

This feature is requested a long time ago, and I need it. I want the possibility to move the cursor while swiping over the space bar. Arrow Keys are useless, because I always accidentally press on the left arrow key instead of the space bar. Add this, immediately, please!

When you're typing away with the Swedish language and layout, you're forced to go back and correct all the "i''s. Swiftkey autocorrects every single "i" to a "Capital I".

We never have or ever will use capital "i" mid sentences.

I use three languages on a daily basis.

Having three languages turned on at the same time doesn't work very well, so I have to keep switching one language off and another on multiple times a day, it's a 6 step process...

Please make it a lot easier to switch languages!

Settings option to Turn off auto spaces

So many users have complained about this auto-spacing issue that it surely must be becoming embarrassing to SwiftKey and for as good as SwiftKey has been in other areas, this one failure to address the problem is driving users right away from your products. For credibility of your name being ranked highly, you need to address this problem as soon as possible and it is entirely technically possible to code a fix right now and gain some loyalty back again.

This problem has been an ongoing issue for nearly 12-months now.

Refer to:

This is a global issue across all devices!

Hello,

as a person which is using Czech language with a lot of extra letters ("ě, š, č, ř, ž, ý, á, í..."), the Incognito mode is perfect for me when I'm writing an SMS, because I can use normal letters ("e, s, c, r, z, y, a, i...") and my SMS is shorter and therefore cheaper.

However, I really don't like the incognito dark theme. Could it be removed and instead just left there my choosen theme? (I use the bright theme, which is perfect for me and I would appreciate to have this theme while incognito mode...)

Hey guys.

I just bought a Huawei P10 and SwiftKey won't sync my account data. I've signed in, but it says last sync was "not synced" and if I hit the sync now button there is nothing that happens.

Any ideas? I can't even uninstall because apparently the keyboard is baked in to the os

I have been using SwiftKey on Android for years, switched to iPhone a few days ago. Very unhappy with the ways comma work here. To insert a comma and a space after it, I have to hit the "special symbols" button, then comma, and then the space bar. Alternatively, I have to press and hold the "." key, then move to the comma, then hit space. That is 3 keystrokes, whereas in Android it only took one (you have the comma button on the default keyboard to the left of the space bar, and an empty space is automatically added once you hit it). Likewise, it is also annoying that no space is added after hitting the "." button, however at least this can be fixed by using a double-tap on the space bar to create the dot instead.

I understand SwiftKey is trying to imitate the way the native iOS keyboard works in this regard, but frankly, that setup is just horrible, so please at least give us the option to customize. A comma is a button that is too frequently required not to be on the main keyboard, and in at least 90% of cases, when you type a comma, you want an empty space behind it, so that really should be automatic.

 Hi,

I've been using Swiftkey for years now, having tried many many alternatives and finding it far superior than other options.

The only thing that is missing is the option to customize a key. For example, replace a symbol with another.

I have almost no use for the comma(,) and I use the question mark(?) all the time and the question mark needs two presses which is annoying, and really slows typing.

I am guessing Swiftkey has statistics of people's keypresses, they can check frequency. My guess is most people use the question mark a lot more than the comma, so why not make it default instead of the comma (if not adding the customize feature).

Many thanks for the best keyboard.

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! 

I am searching ctrl key on my swiftkey. I would like to use commands that needed the CTRL key on my keyboard.
Please advise!
Thanks

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,

I have the languages English (US) and Swedish enabled.

Whenever I type a Swedish sentence, swiftkey will capitalize the word 'i' (which means 'in' in Swedish).

Swiftkey should be able to determine that it is in a Swedish language context and NOT apply English language rules.

best regards
Håkan

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.

I know that the Android version has Thai keyboard for a while now so I am wondering why is it taking so long for the iOS version to come up with it. I've purchased the SwiftKey hoping to use it but without the multilingual input it is kinda been useless to me so far.

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". 

Swift key becomes worst one due to it do not have option to on/off auto spacing after punctuation. If I'm typing my mail which includes 3 dots. I want to back space each dot place. Very worst. And irritating. Please include an option to on or off auto spacing after punctuation.

First of all, thanks alot for responding to our feedback about Arabic layout and make it true after along time of waiting.
Second of all, please please please nobody want this layout since it's produced very small font i submit a request in the Link below explained how it's too small compared with Google keyboard (gboard)

So please just unite the Arabic layout with the stock google keyboard plus attention to increase the size of letters font.

Sincerely
