I’ve had autocorrect disabled on my iPhone for years—for whatever reason it really bothers me when something I just typed magically changes into something I didn’t want to write. I like that what I type is exactly what appears, not the computer’s guess at my intent. It’s one of the first things I disable when setting up a new Mac as well.
It took a few months to get used to it, but I developed typo-correction muscle memory pretty quickly (RIP 3D Touch, it was awesome for text editing). Plus I think that the copyedit re-read that I give to things I write on my phone is helpful above and beyond just catching typos. So be it if I make the occasional typo!
- dkga 3y agoI'm one of the "lucky few" that (a) really needs autocorrect because I can never seem to type correctly in mobile phone keyboards and (b) really hates autocorrect because often it either gets me wrong or worse, changes legitimate words into awkward and incorrect words - like the other day I typed something pretty mundane that got changed into a more... vulgar word. I got a little reprieve with swiping text, but still, autocorrect should be much better.
