Hi guys,

How to submit a feature request

If you've had a really good idea and want SwiftKey to hear all about it, the best way to do that is to submit it via the 'Feature Request' form here:

https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

We look forward to reading all your requests and improvements.

The best way to post a question

When writing I Greek the question mark character is this - > ;

SwiftKey should treat it as such and it current doesn't. Actually, after the last update the behavior of the Greek question mark has deteriorated and acts inconsistent in comparison to before the update.

All too often I reread my text to see that the letter "u" was placed where I definitely meant "I", which naturally changes the entire meaning of the sentence. I never use "u" as a diminutive of "you". I can long press it in my pr edict bar and tell it not to predict it again but that does nothing for single letters.

Is there any way to manually assign prediction priority so that "I" is always suggested before "u", no matter how precise my swiping may be?

 Hi, I like using Swiftkey because of the ability to create long text shortcut keys which I use in customer support and because it is the only keyboard to somewhat support spell checking and preemptive text when using Samsung DeX.

Won't you please include the bullet ( • ) and checkmark ( ✓ ) characters, so useful for lists of items and tasks? You could easily add them as alternate long-press symbols. It's the only thing preventing me from switching from GBoard to SwiftKey. I've asked for this for a couple of years now on Play Store, but maybe you don't read those comments…? Thanks!

Could it be possible to add a option to disable gesture input altogether?
I do not like using flow as it makes me type slower, so I put it in gesture and because of that, sometimes deletes words or lowers the keyboard which is very annoying.
I am just wanting you to add a option to disable it entirely. I know I would use it, and there has someone else out there too!

I am not sure if I can hold off much longer waiting for an update response a hello a sorry its taken us a month or so to get back to you but our support team consists of one person who has to have the Barbados tan. 

So this post is going to be waiting for more than three days as my last new post from three days is still pending approval and review in Google Play Store is now three weeks in and absolutely ZERO response.

Why should anyone bother to install the beta version of anyone or any organisation without the user's who will be testing out free of charge and its costing me time and loss of income messaging a support service which isn't doing much in the way of due diligence.

In less than a year I have gone from loving the SwiftKey to actually now beginning to loathe the very idea of what you used to stand for since new staff arrived old staff left its been a shambolic comedy night out at Freddie's favourite murdering big mac in Bollywood.

And if anyone is interested can you get Hari Kyasa (SwiftKey) to actually reply and let me know if I should stop clearing my cache app data reset android settings jiggle the sync toggle restart and turn on and off and on the option to sync with the other devices as Windows desktop doesn't sync Huawei doesn't sync and neither does Samsung and let me remind you of the fact that you last emailed m 10/01/2022 and you have yet to advise further and should I put a reminder in my calendar 10/01/2023 12.55pm to get a response from you. 

Or should I uninstall and pop in to the trash !!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant thanks again 

The number row is a good addition to keep up with gboard, but we really really really need it to respond to shift and provide access to the same symbols that are on a standard QWERTY keyboard like gboard already does.

This and no gesture spacebar for cursor navigation is a major time waster with Swiftkey that prevents me from using it on a day to day basis.

Hello, just the title said...
I have some questions,
How to disable fullscreen mode while my phone in landscape mode..

I asked the same question in SwiftKey feedback @playstore but no response yet..

I hope I can get the answers here..

One more thing, I just updated the app from playstore, and I get something (bug maybe) while I write this question, I just get something strange..

Everytime I write letter "i" the AI will convert to capital "I"
That's normal, but in my case the letter "i" is concatenated with "I" and I got "iI". That's strange..

And everytime I try to delete the "iI" to manually capitalize it, the capital "I" shows up from nowhere to the next of cursor location.

And it happened not only for the "i" letter but almost of all words that uses autocorrect function.

I hope you can understand what I mean.
Sorry for my bad English..

Hi recently swiftkey has a bug,which is the cursor for the suggestion strip bug as sometimes typo and wanted to recorrect slide to the alphabet it jumps backwards to the the whole word.

How do I get portrait keyboard or t9 option

Dear guys of Swiftkey,
please...

Please just be considerable of what so many people want from you since over 2 years now - just do us all the kind favour and implement this feature that can' t be so hard to implement developerwise... Just implement an easy option to shut off this autospaces that are annoying for soo many people and it' s what so many people want.

Don' t you just realize, that this is a really major request? You should also consider that really many people must be annoyed by this feature missing, who each day loose their nerves and useful time backspacing this additional spaces and just don' t want to take this efford to find out how to contact you and to write you such a message like us in this forum... Don' t you think they do just find this a pity that this small missing annoying feature is putting your for the rest perfectly customizable and greatly working virtual keyboard tool into a bad light just for such a small additional efford from your side?

I just don' t want to sound rude to you at all, and ask you politely to implement this feature. It' s about time this issue will be fixed. It should be also in your interest to improve your great app further somehow...

Kind Regards

Riccardo Pierucci

P. S. : Please don' t consider this as a double post - I wrote a similiar comment into another Thread about the same issue - where there where so many people asking you for this feature implementation, that they filled out 4 long forum pages with this request to you asking you for this since whole two years.

I am using Samsung Galaxy S6 with Android 7.0, and here is the thing:

• When I use Swiftkey, the red underline is missing.

• When I switch back to Samsung keyboard, the red underline is working again!

So, what is the problem? I remember that red underline is a spell checker feature included in the core Android OS to mark the misspelled words, and previously it was working with Swiftkey.

Can anyone assist me, or if you are a Swiftkey user on Android please tell me if you got the red underline or not?
