SwiftKey now lets anyone copy and paste between Android and Windows

Microsoft has been testing the feature for a while in the beta version of Swiftkey, and now the feature is also coming to the stable Swiftkey app: the ability to copy text from your Android to your PC. Useful!

SwiftKey clipboard sync

The popular SwiftKey keyboard was acquired by Microsoft in 2016. An integration between the Android app and Windows is therefore not very strange. With the new feature for Swiftkey, you can display the clipboard on your Windows PC on your Android phone, and vice versa.

You’ll find the feature in Swiftkey’s version 7.9.0.5, but it still needs to be enabled on your Android phone and PC. First of all, enable the feature in the Swiftkey app via:

1. Open the Institutions in Swiftkey
2. Tap on Rich Input and then on clipboard
3. Switch Sync clipboard history
4. Choose Sign in with Microsoft account
5. feed your email address and password and then press Sign up successful on OK
6. Choose whether to share data with Microsoft to help improve SwiftKey, then press Yes or new
7. Copied items appear at the bottom of SwiftKey’s Clipboard menu

Once you’ve done that, enable sync clipboard on your PC. You do that as follows;

1. Open Settings in Windows 10/11
2. click on System and then on clipboard
3. Switch clipboard history in
4. Switch Sync between devices in
5. Also put Copied Text Auto Sync at

Have you done all this? Then you can immediately select a piece of text on your mobile and paste it into a document on your laptop. You can also log in more easily with two-step verification. You can easily copy the code of an authenticator app from your phone to your computer to be able to log in immediately. It also works the other way around. You can type an entire story into a document, then copy and paste it into a WhatsApp chat. So plenty of options.

Previously, it was already possible on certain Samsung devices to synchronize the clipboard with the PC via the Your Phone app. Are you going to get started with Swiftkey’s clipboard function? Let us know in the comments at the bottom of this article.
