The one thing that still annoys me about the iPhone keyboard that I think Android does better is correcting mistakes. Apple expects you to correct your mistake before you finish a word by selecting the right suggestion. On Android typing backspace after a word undoes the suggestion so you can quickly correct a wrong suggestion. Instead of having to erase the whole word and trying again.
- KMnO4 4y agoThis is partially true. If you misspell a word, it will auto correct. If you press backspace, the autocorrected word will still be there, but you can also tap to choose what you actually typed or a different suggestion. And if you backspace again, autocorrect will temporarily disable itself so you can fix minor typos.
- aequitas 4y agoThx for this hint. I just tried this but it shows that suggestion at the cursor. Not above the keyboard. So it’s not as fast or useful :(
- crossroadsguy 4y agoI have been using iPhones for almost a decade. It still can’t predict my first name. It will suggest everything else but not my name. Even a typo word that, I chose not to use, I can’t make iOS un-remember for the life of me. It suggests words that I used maybe 3-4 times few years ago. But not the name that’s right there as part of my bloody Apple ID, my name in my contact book. Everywhere! Edit: I just installed Gboard and tried. My full name was the first thing it predicted after few characters. No Google login, no full access. I wish there was a way to remove that Google logo from GBoard and if only iOS allowed disabling network calls for individual apps (which is bothersome on iOS).
