How do I add more Emoji? I was hoping to have to add another app with more emoji

Many thanks Ron

Not sure if this is a SwiftKey problem or a Messages problem or a Google problem but here it goes.......

I just got this Galaxy S20. On my previous phone (Galaxy S9), when I hit the little "microphone" button on my SwiftKey keyboard to do voice to text when using the Messages App for texting, I would simply start talking and the words I was creating by voice would populate the text field in Messages. I could easily see the words as I spoke. After I was done taking, I'd just hit the send button and I was good to go.

With this S20, when I hit the little microphone button on SwiftKey, a window pops up. It is super annoying for a few reasons. One, that stupid grey box that says "Your audio Will be sent....." blocks the first several words that I am speaking, so I can't see that the text to words is translating correctly. Second, if I stop talking for around a second, the voice to text assumes I'm done speaking and closes, preventing me from adding more words if I hesitate to complete a thought. Third and worst of all, after I'm done talking the words I just spoke don't transfer to the text field in Messages. If I tap the empty text field in messages, SOMETIMES the words I just spoke suddenly appear in the text field- maybe 50% of the time. Supper annoying as half the time I have to repeat the whole voice-to-text process or revert to typing.

On my S9, when I hit the microphone button, I got a different pop-up that didn't block my words as they were spoken, and my words simply transferred directly to the text field in Messages, where I could clearly see them and simply hit "send" when done speaking.

When I use Facebook Messenger and do voice-to-text, I still get the pop up box with the annoying grey "Your audio will be sent......" blocking my words, but when I'm done speaking, at least my words transfer into the empty text box automatically and edit/send as required.

Anyone else having this problem?  I'd post the pictures of the pop up windows but I don't see a way to do that with this forum.

Thanks!

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".

Hello everyone, I updated my Swiftkey to version 7.6.9.7 and since then I do not have the standard android haptic feedback on my keystrokes anymore. 

I tried to enable it via the settings in swiftkey, but only the swiftkeys own haptic feedback is working and I don't want to use those.
Using the setting "standard android vibration" doesn't do anything anymore. I also tried to restart the phone in case of a bug.

The system vibration via the samsung settings is enabled for all keyboards. 

My android version is Android 10 with the latest security patch update from December.

Thanks!

Problem: THREE different account IDs! I can't determine how to log into my old SwiftKey Account on my new Android phone!

Here is the problem: I've been logged into SwiftKey since 2017 when I got my last mobile phone. Let's say, hypothetically, the e-mail address is: abc@gmail.com 

I click on that e-mail on the account settings/overview of the old phone and it shows me an account ID ending in "AAA" (made-up for simplicity's)

When I now log into the new phone with the Google Login button (I first assumed I used this option in the past but I can't remember!), I log in with my main Google account which goes by abc@gmail.com. Okay, so the Account ID shown on the new phone ends in "BBB". Obviously, since they don't match, it can't be the right account. Trying to type also appears as if it knows nothing about my typing behavior.

Okay, so that's possible. Next, I try the Microsoft button to log in, as I expected, an account has been created with that abc@gmail.com username, but I log into outlook to check on it and set a password. Here, the account ID is yet another and ends: in "CCC". 

I'm running out of ideas. What other way could I have used in the past to login/create my account on SwiftKey? I would very much like to avoid losing all of my data. I don't know how to safely retrieve the cloud data from the old phone. As far as I understand it, there are no local backups or anything I could import myself. Please help.

It would be nice to be able to select a darker keyboard theme that Swiftkey automatically switches to with the Android 10 System Dark theme.

SwiftKey does not automatically turn off the capitalization on HTML input tags which feature autocapitalize=off. That is very annoying, many web apps use this to prevent unwanted automatic capitalization on certain inputs. SwiftKey ignores this.

See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/04/autocapitalize for details.

No sé si será un error. En versiones anteriores, no sucedió. Cuando uso el teclado Swiftkey para enviar mensajes en Wahtsapp, sucede que envío un emoji y presiono la tecla enviar, regresa al teclado para su escritura. Automáticamente.
En cambio, ahora envío el emoji pero el teclado swiftkey permanece en esa posición. Y tengo que seleccionar el cuadro de diálogo para reescribir (letras). A veces tengo que presionar dos veces.

Antes era un teclado muy fluido que permitia una escritura rápida. Ahora me resulta incómodo cada vez que selecciono el teclado, cada vez que quiero escribir

Gracias

Why are there no predictions or spaces after a comma? Especially a space? This was apparently raised 9 months ago but still persists.

Three characters that have troublesome auto space insertions are dash, colon, and semicolon. All of these characters, when used correctly in a sentence, should not have spaces before them, but SwiftKey always adds one. I would love to see a setting that allows me to choose either the current functionality or a new setting to not add the leading space.

I am getting frequent (multiple times per day) where I am typing on swiftkey and I see the prediction forming, but no output in the actual text field I was typing in. Switching to any other keyboard and changing back (without typing anything in the other keyboard) restores functionality, but it's pretty annoying and it's getting more frequent.

When using a punctuation mark such as colon ":" after inserting space after a word, swiftkey automatically remove the space and connects the punctuation mark with the word.

This was not the case in older versions.
How do we get rid of this behavior?

Also, another thing is that, after any punctuation mark, swiftkey automatically inserts a space after it. In older versions it used to happen only for periods "." , commas "," and semicolons ";"

But now it happens for colon ":" as well which I don't want.

Example for both problems:

While Texting: Life is sad :(

Turns to: Life is sad: (

Please help me fix this as well.

Thank you

I would love to have bitmoji support baked in as an attachment, the same way gifs are. Snapchat even recognizes if you're talking to a user who has it and puts your bitmojis together.

Please add flick input to the Korean Cheonjiin keyboard...

It is very inconvenient because there is no flick input...

Please add flick input like Japanese keyboard...

I use SwiftKey and SK Neutral on my android. I used to get flags appearing while typing in Twitter using specific codes, ie typing GB would display the UK flag 🇬🇧. This no longer works, any clue if it's a setting that needs tweeked of gas something happened during app updates?
