I honestly have no idea how people tolerate iOS keyboard. No numbers? No common characters? In 2022? Really?
I often contemplate switching to iPhone to get away from Google, I've previously used 3GS and 4S for multiple years. But the keyboard is definitely in the top3 negative factors keeping me from it.
PS: I can't judge modern iOS autocomplete, but on Android it's a complete garbage. Simple typos when I press a nearby key are NEVER autoreplaced. Typos like - r4ady or hscker or ma ufacture etc. It seems to me it shouldn't be to hard to make an algo looking for all valid words checking each letter for replacing it with a 6 surrounding keys on a typical US keyboard and looking them in dictionary. But nope, no luck.
- Yizahi 4y agoFor example: hscker 1) - yscker,uscker,jscker,nscker,bscker,gscker - 0 dictionary words 2) - hacker,hwcker,hecker,hdcker,hxcker,hzcker - 1 actual word "hacker" 3) - hsxker,hsdker,hsfker,hsvker,hs ker - 0 words 4) - hscjer,hscier,hscoer,hscler,hsc,er,hscmer - 0 words 5) - hsckwr,hsck3r,hsck4r,hsckrr,hsckdr,hscksr - 0 words 6) - hsckee,hscke4,hscke5,hscket,hsckef,hscked - 0 words Super simple autoreplace, map one time all groups of 6 keys surrounding each key, then write a query to lookup results in the dictionary and you're set. But nope. Too hard for a trillion dollar corp.
- aembleton 4y agoCan't you install a different keyboard such as SwiftKey?
- Yizahi 4y agoI don't know. I thought Apple didn't allow anything core functionality from 3rd parties, like browsers, UI skins etc.? Currently I'm interacting with iPhones only when I need to fix something on my friends iPhone, I'll check alt keyboards next time.
