The keyboard enhancements were very much needed. iOS no longer forcing me to delete 30 times before it finally lets my actually correct word stay is worth the update alone.
It does also seem to have grammar improvements, and doesn’t seem to be so happy to “correct, but actually make incorrect 5 words back” as the prior keyboard would frequently do after apple stopped giving you the option to stop that.
The beta before release had significant alarm issues with alarms definitely not going off. So I hope those are sorted out.
- amluto 3y agoI wonder if it will start understanding the difference between “its” and “it’s”
- wredue 3y agoI’m not sure it’s got that correct. It’s okay. It’s got a brain of its own. (I did not manually correct any of the above)
- sixstringtheory 3y agoor “of” vs “if”, “in” vs “on”, “I” vs “o” (wtf? lol), and on and on
- stephen_g 3y ago“Were” and “we’re” is also an annoying one. Specifically “were”, it’s autocorrected to the other one six or seven times just trying to type this comment (iOS 16 here)
- mikeyouse 3y agoAutocorrects that "fix" a real word that's spelled correctly and make sense in context to an incorrect word make me want to throw my phone into a lake.
- hotnfresh 3y agoOh my god, please yes. It acts like it thinks “its” is never correct (except when turning “it’d”, which, admittedly, is rather slangish, to “it’s”) with the result that it causes more harm than good. It’d be an improvement to simply make it ignore that pair of words and never try to correct either, versus the current behavior.
- deepspace 3y agoI would be happy if it stopped correcting "and" to "And" in the middle of a sentence.
- chrisjc 3y agoWe'll, I guess were just going to have to wait and see if its fixed. But seriously! Typing is sooo bad on iOS, that it has almost made me move back to Android.
- wintermutestwin 3y agoI wonder if it will recognize "won't" The big failure of Siri isn't the lack of AI, it is the lack of programming useful simple functionality.
- groggo 3y agodo you have more info on the keyboard improvements? I got so annoyed with autocorrect that I turned if off entirely. But it's hard to type accurately without it :(
- wredue 3y agoIt’s just overall vastly improved. I understand that’s not really saying much since the iOS 16 keyboard, when compared to what’s out there, is essentially unusable. I can’t remember the last time I said “fuck this stupid fucking keyboard”, whereas I said it with the iOS 16 keyboard every time I had to use it.
- s3p 3y agoAutocorrect now uses a language model so it won't autocorrect 'fucking' to 'ducking' if it thinks that's how you speak. It learns slang / curse words now, whereas before you would have to manually go in and add a keyboard shortcut to override the autocorrect.
