I noticed this on my phone too. Right after the last update where my Internet browser icon changes from an earth planet to a saturn planet. Swype works everywhere but online. Any suggestions
I was also having the same issue. I cleared my data and cache which samsung said would work but didn't. They have since sent to their developers but once I restarted my phone it is now working as it should. Hopefully this works for you as well!
I spoke too soon. It stopped working this morning but I changed my default keyboard to Swype instead of Samsung keyboard in my phone settings. This seems to be the only thing that works.
I found the settings menu at the bottom of the app homepage and looked up search settings. In there, click on "handwrite" and set it to enable. That did the trick for me. Good luck!
