It’s abysmal garbage now. Was something changed about how it works?
It went from (iOS 16 and earlier) never letting me type “fuck” and replacing it with “duck” instead to (iOS 17) suggesting and “correcting” what I type with wildly improbable words.
What’s worse is that disabling it in settings does not survive a restart.
Drives me nuts. Always makes me say things I didn’t Nintendo.
I see what you sit there.
Imagine having a choice in an apple product
Sometimes resetting your keyboard dictionary can improve things (see last section): https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/iphone/iph6d01d862/ios
But yeah, I do feel like it’s gotten worse
Mine consistently changes human to “juman”.
That is not even a word.
It’s just Apple once again trying to copy something android has done for years and act like it’s new.
Give it a rest man. The war is over.
EDIT: I get the joke now. Apologies!
I remember those memes from all those years ago (even from the skeuomorphic days of iOS; 2007-2013) where autocorrect can basically ruin a user’s life.
I was an iOS user right until 2015, because I couldn’t afford any of the new iPhones, and the old ones were really slow on the then latest version. I had an iPhone 4 at this point.
So I think I always remember iOS’s autocorrect being garbage. Either it got better once I left and then suddenly got worse again, or nothing changed at all and it continues to be garbage without ever being good for a day. Can anyone else confirm this?
I had an iPhone for work from about 2014-2018. Autocorrect was as you have said the entire time (ganache).
Happens on Android too. SwiftKey keyboard used to be the shit. I could sloppily mash out a message without even looking at my phone and it would autocorrect everything perfectly 98% of the time. Ever since Microsoft bought it about a decade ago it’s been getting worse and worse. I can’t type at all on this damn thing without looking directly at the keyboard like I’m still learning how to type. It’s infuriating.
