How do I change the currency key on my Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard?

The currency key responds directly to the language/locale that the phone is set to, regardless of the language model/layout in use in SwiftKey. So if your phone language is set to English UK, you’ll get a £; if it’s English US, you should get a $ (and Yen with Japanese, Euro with French/Spanish/German and so on).

To change this:

1. Go into your phone's device settings

2. Tap 'Language & Input'/'Locale'

3. Ensure that your chosen language is correct for your locale/the currency you wish to display

4. When you next use SwiftKey, your currency key should have changed.

 

Note: This setting may vary depending on a device.

The currency symbol you see in your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard (available on the numbers pane by pressing the 123 button) is based on your location.

For example: If you are in the UK, you will automatically see the £.

In the US, you would see the $.

You can access other currency symbols by pressing and holding on the symbol available to you.
