- JamesSwift 1y agoI had the exact same experience when switching to iphone. Hasnt gotten better after... 4 years now? It actually seems to be getting worse, if anything.

I'm slightly making up the exact bias, but for instance it will be assumed the user lands a touch slightly above the actual key, as the finger hides the target and Apple's heuristics expect some overshooting. In comparison people used to the iPhone's heuristics might have a harder time on android.
- pier25 1y agoIf this is true it seems like a terrible idea. And even worse that it can't be disabled. Does this happen with all iOS keyboards?

I'd assume the dynamic hot zone resizing do sn't apply for third party keyboards, but honestly I have no idea.
