Weird, I use three languages on my phone for typing messages and the autocorrect manages that quite well (to my surprise, at first). Even mixing languages works quite well in my experience. I use "Gboard" which I think is the default keyboard app? simply with all three languages enabled, and I don't switch keyboard (using always the same disposition, the one of my native language which isn't the language I type most on my phone).

If you avoid Google than you don't get access to their teams of ML data analysis.

I use three languages as well and GBoard is the only one that works flawlessly. IPhone is unusable in this regard. Switching from one language to the other is just not cutting it. That's simply not how polyglot people communicate.

  Unfortunately, Gboard doesn't seem to support multiple languages enabled at the same time if they use different scripts - you still have to switch languages. I can kind of understand why, but I don't think it would be impossible to design a way for it to work.

    Can you elaborate on this? I have three languages enabled on Android GBoard and it'll offer up completions and suggestions across all three languages even though I'm usually on English.

      I'm talking about languages using different scripts/alphabet, e.g. Latin, Cyrillic, Greek etc. The feature you are describing ("Multilingual typing") is not supported in that case. So for example, you can enable it for English and Spanish, but not for English and Russian. In fact, it doesn't even seem to be supported for different languages that use Cyrillic.

        Ah, yep, all three languages I'm using are latin scripts, that explains it. Thanks!

  iOS has support for mixed simultaneous languages but only in a certain small number of combinations.
