I find that the source that SwiftKey uses to find GIFs is lacking. There are a lot of sources on other apps that have more relevant GIFs, that you cannot find using SwiftKey. Is there a way to add certain sites/sources to the GIF search functionality in SwiftKey?

Hi.

An error has occurred, and therefore, difficulties arise when using the built-in translator in the keyboard. Constantly writes: "Something went wrong. Restart the Translator." This error occurs when I want to spell a word, or a sentence not in English. Help me please.

Thanks...

I can't find baybayin keyboard in language section

Hello. My problem is about backup and sync. First I have to tell you these. 5 years ago I was using LG G3, and I moved on iPhone 6 Plus and I was able to use my old predictions. And then I moved on Xiaomi Mi 8, I was still be able to use all my learned data. And now I changed my phone to Oneplus 7 pro, and in the app I cannot see any of my learned data.
https://data.swiftkey.com/view-data in this website I can see my learned data, the words that I use most before on the other phones, but they won't show up on my new phone. 5-6 years of learned data was making my life easier but now I am not happy to use this app. So question is what should I do?

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?

Many Users are not able to efficiently use SwiftKey as tap-to-type due to the errors that occur when spaces are inserted or deleted after certain characters.

SwiftKey AI will add spaces even when settings for all options are turned off.

Certain characters require double spaces to be spaced, and 'period' character will have spaces inserted directly after. The frequency of key press affects the displayed result - and it is different each time.

Data fields without the correct meta-tag will result in SwiftKey behaving differently - cut and paste - may or may not add spaces after. URL may or may not add spaces.

Pressing 'period' 20 times at a rate of 1 per second will yield a different result to a rate of 3 per second.

The behavior can be seen when typing an ellipses "..." or open and closed bracket "[ ] " or open and closed braces "{}"
Textbox tags on sites with it enabled in the textbox will mean that the "@" character will cancel unwanted behavior, and also "#" hash tags.

The replication of the issue is most apparent for continuous key-press of the period key - as stated above - and shows a lack of set behavior for AI, due to the inconsistencies. Time between key-press for a single character "period" should not yield different results.

Just create a toggle to disable insertion or deletion of spaces after characters or words.

This has been an issue for years now, and has constantly been ignored.
My forum post from yesterday has been ignored and deleted. I cannot find any reference to a post or support ticket posted yesterday.

I see there other posts on these but the *status is closed without any conclusion.*

How important does SwiftKey think is a good idea to sync Clipboard? This often consists of my usernames or passport number, greeting messages to my clients. And after every phone reset or phone device upgrade, I have to redo everything again. I need to take the trouble of copying every clipboard pinned texts to Evernote and then put it in SwiftKey. We are heading into 2020.

Have been looking for a keyboard that has it all and SwiftKey works for me for the most part. But it's kind of annoying how I have to switch to a different keyboard every now and then to enter kaomoji or Japanese emoticons like these - (๑•̀д•́๑)ʅʕ•ᴥ•ʔʃ
Would be really nice if these could be made default or as an add on in the SwiftKey keyboard

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 make an option for a photo theme to be able to change the color of the letters on the keyboard to something other than white

The logo stands out and looks terrible on my otherwise all-black theme.  I know what keyboard I'm using. You don't need to advertise it to me.  I'm currently using a size smaller than desired only because it hides the logo.  Could you please, please, please remove the logo from this otherwise great keyboard?

Is there a way to stop the automatic space after a period?

Most of my typing is in regards to IP addresses, email address and the like. 

Most of the time I do not want a space following the period. Perhaps an option in the settings area would help.

I'm looking on getting rid of the Quick Emoji Beta feature on my Samsung Galaxy S8.  It's very annoying.

I hate the beta toolbar.

I always get emoji from my emoji history and SwiftKey defaults to the crystal ball, which I assume is predictions.

Been using this app forever, and this new feature is annoying me. It's nothing I asked for, but I'm asking for the ability to disable it please.

All of a sudden,after years of faithful service, SwiftKey has suddenly crapped out on me.

Pressing enter adds the letter 't'

Predictions throw up gobbledegook

There are other problems but they're too frustrating to investigate with the keyboard so broken.

Has there been a recent update that has done this?

Thanks for any help

Hi there, is it possible to put colours to the keypad at the custom theme design. Sometimes the existing colours doesn't match with the background photo.

Thank you
Sincerely for everyone

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

Hi

Is it possible to get the old t9 keyboard without downloading some other app?

I really like using SwiftKey, but I'm much faster when writing on t9. 😊

love the app - understand that it defers to Google for voice to text which is fine but do any of the keyboards have the microphone button larger? I downloaded this app to have a larger keyboard but now it is harder to get to the microphone - may have to uninstall it if there is no fix

Is there a way to bring up handwriting to text with SwiftKey? I feel like I've seen it before but now that I'm looking for it I can't seem to find it.

The production version of SwiftKey is again too large and this time on the note 8. Please apply whatever hot fix you did for the S8 so we don't have to use a giant keyboard.

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.

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

Using the new s8+, and even with the keyboard size set to the smallest, it's still really large.

Mostly happens with the highest resolution on the phone, 2960x1440.

Is it possible to have SwiftKey *not* remove the preceding space when an underscore is being inserted?
This issue (along with a few others) was raised as far as December 2014. Unfortunately, it hasn't received attention from the developers.

It's rather frustrating having to go back through typed text to correct things from

"It_should_ be fixed immediately" to "it _should_ be fixed immediately".

Ordinarily it wouldn't be a problem if you could simply backspace and correct it. However, fixing this 'typo' requires a careful placement of the caret (which isn't at all easy) then inserting a space and then moving to the end of the line to continue with the text.
This slows text input especially when writing formatted text on WhatsApp and Telegram, both of which use the underscore for formatting.

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.

O teclado omitiu a tecla Ç, e deveria estar presente no teclado para o padrão de escrita brasileiro ABNT.

Where did the Ç key go?
The keyboard omitted the Ç key, and should be present on the keyboard for the Brazilian ABNT writing pattern.

Need a way to be able to move the cursor  via the keyboard. Like Apple. Samsung. Google. And every other keyboard from the 21st Century.
