iMore Question

I downloaded Swype on my new iphone 6s. I already had several contacts in the phone.

I don't seem to be able to use Swype when texting them. Why? How do I fix that? Also, it does not seem to work when group texting.

Have you enabled Swype in your keyboard settings and set it as the primary keyboard? If not, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard

If everything is enabled and you're not seeing Swype, try a reboot. I will say that Swype was not consistently popping up for me ever. I have tried it several times since their release and it hasn't worked consistently, so I kept deleting it. Found out last time that there is a known issue with Swype popping up if you use enterprise sync or something like that. I definitely use that for work emails, so that explains a lot. Until that's resolved, I won't be using Swype.
