  • All I know is that Apple said they’ve improved the keyboard with iOS 17 and frankly I’ve never been more frustrated with it. I don’t know what they even did but here’s the problems I’ve been having:

    • Swipe typing has become nigh-unusable for me. Gets the wrong word nearly every time, takes forever.
    • It is incredibly annoying to put the cursor where I want it now because it’s constantly selecting things, and when I actually do want to select things, it selects the wrong things and becomes very fiddly to adjust.
    • General autocorrect, much like swipe typing, has become extremely inaccurate.

    I used to love alternate keyboards on Android and tried to keep up with them once I moved to iOS but it’s usually not a great experience here because of Apple’s restrictions. But at this point the stock keyboard has become so bad that I feel like I have no choice. It has been making my phone demonstrably worse as of late.

    Anybody have any third-party keyboards they recommend?
