4 things you DON’T KNOW about the SwiftKey keyboard (and you should)

SwiftKey is still on the podium of the best keyboards for android. If you don’t know it (or even if you already know about this app), these are 4 things you should know about my favorite keyboard.

The SwiftKey keyboard has always stood out for its excellent word prediction. It also has the particularity of recognizing multiple languages simultaneously. But in addition to that, there are very useful functionalities under the hood of this keyboard.

Top 4 SwiftKey Features

Keep everything you copy

Copy multiple chunks of text. You can recover any of them whenever you want from the multiple clipboard de SwiftKey.

When you copy a text, it is automatically saved in the Android system’s clipboard so that later you can PASTE it elsewhere. But this only works with the last text you copied. The advantage of the SwiftKey clipboard is that it saves all the texts that you are copying, and you can later retrieve any of them to paste them wherever you need.

Clipboard texts can be erased with a simple swipe. And you can set your favorite items, if they are texts that you plan to use permanently.

To access the clipboard, with the keyboard visible, tap the menu button (top left). Then, click on the figure of a notepad at the top.

That your confidential data is not recorded

In SwiftKey’s incognito mode, no entered words are learned. That means that anything you write will not appear as a suggestion in the future. This way you avoid that confidential data appears to a third party accidentally (or you avoid an embarrassment).

With the keyboard displayed, tap on its menu button (top left), and choose Incognito.

To disable incognito mode, you must do practically the same process.

Find out the precision of your fingers

Tap the SwiftKey icon and choose Heart Rate Map. There you will see where you are putting your finger on each key.

Radically change the keyboard layout

Themes allow you to radically change the look of the keyboard. And SwiftKey offers you more than a hundred themes to download for free.
