Originally developed by TouchType, Microsoft SwiftKey is a virtual keyboard application for Android and iOS devices.
It learns users’ writing style including the words, phrases, and emojis that they commonly use in order to provide a more accurate autocorrect and better predictions.
However, Microsoft SwiftKey is currently not signing into users’ accounts and the keyboard appears jittery.
Microsoft SwiftKey login issue
Many iOS users are reporting an issue where they are unable to access their SwiftKey accounts.
Apparently, users are being prevented from logging into their account because of an error that reads ‘Something went wrong when signing into your Microsoft SwiftKey Account’.
Owing to this issue, it is nearly impossible for many to enable the ‘Backup and Sync’ feature.
It seems that Microsoft SwiftKey was functioning erratically on iOS v15.6.1 as well and it continues to persist with iOS 16 update.
SwiftKey keyboard also appears jittery
Apart from the sign-in issues, some users are also reporting about the keyboard being too jittery as it randomly keeps moving and jumping up/down.
Interestingly, the janky keyboard issue isn’t exactly new as we came across a relatively older report as well.
A fix is in the works
Fortunately, a Microsoft SwiftKey moderator released a statement saying that the issues are currently being looked into.
We hope that the issues with Microsoft SwiftKey not signing in and the keyboard being jittery get resolved soon.
We’ll keep tabs on further developments of the issue and update the article as and when something noteworthy comes up.
