- stonecharioteer 3mo agoI just got an iPhone as a secondary phone and hate the keyboard so much. How are people putting up with this BS?
- kinjba11 3mo agoEither they don't know better (the majority) or they use an alternative keyboard like GBoard
- microflash 3mo agoJust disable the autocorrect and predictive text to make it usable again.
- WorldMaker 3mo agoI have autocorrect and predictive text on on the iPad and off on the iPhone and it is fascinating how much better it is on the iPad. One of the things that particularly killed me was the iPhone correcting three or four words away from the cursor. There's an option for it to highlight when it does that (which it really shouldn't) but something about iPhone apps the highlights never work. iPad apps they actually work. (Maybe because every phone app thinks it needs to implement their own half-baked text boxes but iPad apps have fewer "designers" doing stupid things like that? I don't know, it's weird.) Still frustrating that there isn't a way to turn off "don't touch anything too far behind the current cursor), but being able to actually spot them when they do change is a big deal.

- jogu 3mo agoOver the past few years I've felt the iPhone keyboard has degraded in quality so much. At first I thought I was just getting old, but I've seen so many people with a similar sentiment that I think it is actually the devices fault.
- poolnoodle 3mo agoAgreed. I got an iPhone from work and I can barely type on that thing while my Pixel with Gboard just works and gets it right 95 % of the time even if I type gibberish.
- raffael_de 3mo agoalso the retrograde auto corrections drive me nuts ... like i type a word (correct) then next word and it adjusts the previous word. attempted several times to deactivate that "feature" - didn't figure out how.
- wookmaster 3mo agoYup somehow I typo so many things or it auto corrects things I dont want it to allll the time I hate typing on my iPhone it sucks. I've personally been keeping an eye on e-ink phones. I'd really like to move off of having the ability to use websites and apps except for basic stuff like texting.
