Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Hello all,

I noticed a very annoying thing in Swiftkey keyboard Android. I cannot use clipboard in a field that accepts only digits. The keyboard hides the "+" button so I can't use the clipboard on it.

However, when using other keyboards (e.g. Chrooma), I can paste on the same field from the clipboard.

Anyone came across the same issue? please help, this been annoying me for a long time.

Thank you.

The following important keyboard features are missing or can not be controlled at all. 

- Auto Space after Punctuation     

- Spell Checker without Auto Correct enabled       

- Writing Java Code is a nightmare because bit automatically changes symbols and spacing.       

- The symbols Keyboard is absolutely disgusting 🤢 it doesn't follow regular qwerty standards.       

- Important Symbols for writing are missing, like Dot Points for lists. hence the >(-) symbol       

▪️ I'm an Emoji Dot Point       

▪️ The accented characters only show 1 alternate characters       

▪️ The AUTO SPELLING CORRECTION can not work out the 1 letter misspelt in a word could be a similar word, it's the basics of a mobile keyboard.     

 - The "System Spell Checker" option in Android 10 is not available until installing Gboard       

- Users must Install Gboard and Disable it to utilise this application properly, on mu Huawei P30 Pro, I have no Gboard installed by default making it impossible to use the Android System Spell Checker in conjunction with Swift.     

- The clipboard manager has no option for how long it should store clips, it just deletes them after you copy 4 or 5 things to the clipboard.     

- Emoji Search is missing, something in nearly every keyboard on Android has available.       

- The Emoji Screen is very old from Android 2.3 days, making selection very difficult and time consuming.     

- The keyboard has Incognito Mode, something that scares users when it should be called " Low Telemetry Mode"

The dark themes I see all have black keys on a dark background, turning them almost invisible.

I have a screenshot, but can't upload it from the phone or the computer because an error message shows up (this forum's usability is really bad tbh...).

Lately I can't type anything any more because the keyboard thinks I'm touching two letters at once and inputs both of them, even though it makes no sense. It used to work very well, now I have to touch exactly the middle of each key every time. Please fix it or revert to the previous version.

It seems like in the last few days my voice-to-text feature has gotten significantly worse. I don't know if this is a Swiftkey thing or a Google thing, but it started happening a few days ago after my phone installed an update and updated a bunch of apps at the same time. The interface looks a bit different, and there are a few significant changes:

- The timeout when I stop talking has drastically decreased, to the point where if I hesitate even a tiny bit between words it stops listening.

- The guesses it makes are often way off, where before they were very reliable

- There was previously a feature where I could tap on a predicted word, and it would bring up a list of other guesses for the word, which was extremely useful when it got something wrong, but it doesn't appear to do that anymore.

- Previously I could hit backspace to delete the last word and it would stay in listening mode, now hitting backspace makes it stop listening.

I use the voice-to-text a ton, so if it's really this broken now it's sort of a dealbreaker for me with Swiftkey, which would be a bummer since I've really liked it up until now. Has anyone else experienced this change recently and found a way to fix it? For reference, I have a Samsung Galaxy s10 with fully updated OS and app. Thanks!

I appreciate SwiftKey on my Android devices, but now have a new Chrome OS tablet.  It installs like other Android apps, but does not appear as a virtual keyboard selection.

I've OPPO A52 and everytime I a typo it gives me a red line under it and when I click on it it shows a popup of suggested words from my personal dictinary

How can I disable spellcheck and the popup completely??

This is a recurring problem that happens following updates of Twitter, Swiftkey or both. When going to write a tweet the keyboard appears but then immediately disappears (0.1 second). I am forced to switch to the normal keyboard. I have a Samsung S21 Ultra with Android 11. This has been happening on and off for years, with different phones and versions of Android. I see other people have had the same experience. Twitter is the only thing this happens with. Please find why and fix, thanks.

Hi, quick question
Ned to remove the red line under words and i wanna make him stop asking me to add words to the dictionary. Tried every settings, nothing worked, it keeps doing this. Im frustrated!!

I cannot change my search engine in SwiftKey, it only gives me the option to use Bing.
I found this answered question: https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360077148331-Can-t-change-default-search-engine

Whenever I type a word that is not in my dictionary, the app shows me others forms of the word that I might want to add to the dictionary. I just want that list to stop popping on my screen. But I want the auto corrector to be in function. Is this possible?

When I attempt to insert a GIF in a text message from the SwiftKey keyboard, it only inserts a URL to the GIF, not the GIF. This started happening after the latest big update (couple days now).

As you can see in the image, this symbol is not correct in this group. This is supposed to make letter look wider like this " الــــــــــســـــــلام". in other two Arabic layouts: Arabic 123 original and Arabic 123 PC , this symbol is correctly applied. but in Arabic 123  it is a different symbol.

i downloaded swiftkey on my fire tv stick the app opens to the 3 step acctivation so i press acctivate and a error box pops up saying stuff about batterys and other stuff so on. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I'm using the Forest theme which is primarily black with a few green accents.

Why do a few Android 11 apps lose the green?

This is still broken after years. In fact I think SwiftKey is breaking my phones vibration settings.

The keyboard is very good, I love using it very much but the keyboard remembers what you say and uses your words to remember like if you misspelt something over and over it will remember and start to suggest it even when it is wrong. Is there an option to turn off learning or turn off personal words forever instead of clearing it over and over? Thank you.
