you got dedicated äöü keys on your keyboard?
i just long-press the letters if i really need an Umlaut, but generally i just type the normal one and use the suggestions to switch to the correct spelling.
Autocorrection is dependent on your keyboard btw. It might be a good idea to try a different ones. I haven't really had that issue since i've switched to GBoard, but i remember struggling with the same problem before as well.
- majewsky 9y ago> you got dedicated äöü keys on your keyboard? Yes, the German QWERTZ layout has 3 dedicated keys for äöü. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/KB_Germany.svg/1280px-KB_Germany.svg.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/KB... (just left of the Enter key). However, the virtual keyboard I'm currently writing ^W swiping this on does not have dedicated keys for them. I have to long-press [a] to get a popup with variants, including [ä].
- germanier 9y agoThe dedicated äöü keys were added in some update a few years ago (there is no ß key). At that time you could only get German autocorrect with that keyboard (I think) so I got used to it. At some later point they added autocorrect for all other installed languages to that keyboard so I now use it exclusively (due to the extra keys they differ in width between keyboards which is confusing when switching).
