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.

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.

    Strangely, after using iphones since the very first, there are spelling corrections coming up constantly that are incorrect. For example, while typing the word corrections, it popped up with corrextions. This is not ok.

    Is there a way to replace Apple’s dictionary check with a third party? I’m not talking about Grammarly which I have (I don’t like the Grammarly ios keyboard).
