I hope rants are allowed on r/apple… didn’t see anything about it in the rules.
My iOS keyboard has new behavior since a few days ago. I have most of the QOL features turned off because I sometimes mix different languages, use abbreviations and sometimes need to communicate scientific names/concepts that aren’t saved in dictionaries. I do like the “predictive” option because it saves me from typing commonly used words. Apparently there is now an auto-fill feature that is grouped with the predictive keyboard option. So, if I type “Backe” (german for cheek) but iOS thinks the most likely word I am writing is “backed” it will automatically add a “d” when I hit space.
I
HATE
THIS
Please for the love of god put all the auto-correct / auto-format / auto-fill / auto-bulls*** options separately from the other QOL options. Predictive text options IS NOT the same as typing things automatically for me. It should never be combined.
Anybody else experiencing this frustration? Does anybody have a workaround? I have never really experimented with custom keyboards before but maybe I should.

This feature is the only thing i hate about the keyboard on iOS compared to Android. Its also driving me insane how many times i have to go back and fourth to edit a sentence and sometimes delete a message entirely i sendt
Mine makes me seem like I’m unstable. Every time I type “hah”, implying ‘that gave me a small chuckle’, it changes to “hahahahah”. “I’ve locked myself outside” “Oh, I’ll come let you in hah” becomes “I’ll come let you in hahahahah”
Am I the only one that’s had this happen for years? At least the “Backe” turning to “Backed” when you hit space has happened and annoyed me since I started using iPhone a few years ago
The new keyboard is just terrible. In Italian one of the most used functions of the keyboard is suggesting accented words, since adding accents is such a bother on mobile keyboards.
The new keyboard almost never suggests them now, basically halving my typing speed
It would ne great if apple hear this: Please add predictive text for my mother language Croatian, it would be great after using iPhone for 10+ years to get this feature, cmon
yes. i fucking hate it and it’s awful
As a guy in Japan, same.
Obviously it’s not a problem when I’m typing in Japanese, but I frequently use Japanese words in English… because I live in Japan.
Names make me absolutely insane.
And in those moments where you just want to type a ducking wordd!!
I’m learning Vietnamese, so I feel your pain.
More importantly, it is STILL laggy as fuck.
has anyone else turned off the auto punctuation in dictation. it sucks for me. I hate it.
Imo, the keyboard in IOS broke two or three years ago with the update and hasn’t ever gotten better.
I can’t explain it, but I feel with that iOS update, I noticed a considerable increase in the amount of typos I was making in a way I had never experienced before and I’ve been in iPhones since the 4.
IOS keyboard has always been giving me an eye twitch after using SwiftKey for years. It’s so shitty it would take me a few paragraphs to even begin describing what’s wrong with it. Utter garbage.
This is why I still use Swiftkey. The IOS keyboard is still garbage, even in 2023. Also, loves switching back to its horrible keyboard every now and then to remind you how bad it was.
I use the Microsoft keyboard. Way better
I honestly think everything about the new keyboard/iMessage is abysmal.
Having AutoFill right next to paste means accidentally clicking into my contacts three times a day, there’s two dictation buttons if you have that on, and the new app tray is so unbelievable cumbersome (and takes up the entire screen).
No idea what they were thinking this update. I feel like I used to be able to type like a wizard a few updates ago and for the last few months I’ve been struggling to adapt.
