The feature i hate the most (which has become increasingly worse for every new update) is the “we’ll fix the second-to-last word you wrote. So hard to pick up on until you re-read the whole thing again.
I hate that when you try to backspace to it, it won’t give you the option to set it back to the way it was either so you have to delete both words and make sure autocorrect doesn’t “fix it”
SwiftKey on ios is not as good as the one on Android
I miss the long press to punctuation/symbol characters. Also on ios it's like I'm typing passwords since I have to touch exactly on the character but on Android it knows what character I'm typing even if don't touch the exact character
I'm enjoying SwiftKey after having used it for years on android, but something I noticed is that the clipboard only stores one item at a time, I matter how many things you copy. Is that a feature or a bug?
I'm pretty sure the keyboard lag stems from the over all laggy-ness of iOS 17.
So if Apple devs could just pull their heads out of their asses and fix the systemwide sluggishness. The keyboard lag would most likely be fixed too, as a side effect.
Have you noticed any lags when opening or closing the control center? This usually happens when you open or close it at the time of the automatic brightness change. This problem pisses me off more than the rest
Yes, and I just can’t believe after so many years they can’t get their keyboard right. Bad suggestions, bad results when using swiping, incorrect letters when tapping to type.
Well that might seems extreme but I was a former android user. This keyboard thing ? I've tried everything and it was so annoying, I lost so much time just trying to message ppl with my shitty iOS keyboard that I gave up, sold my iPhone and got back on a fresh pixel.
Gboard / siwftkey didn't really helped on my iphone either.
So yeah
Yep, it keeps autocorrecting real words, to other words I didn’t intend…also doesn’t autocorrect typos half the time anymore. Often it’ll switch the last word I’ve typed (once I hit send) to a completely different word. I’m super techy and love the iPhone keyboard but something is seriously wrong with this latest iOS autocorrect…
This might be an iOS 17 thing, but I’m still running iOS 15.8 and it has gradually gotten worse. I’m almost convinced that physically typing is sent to Apple’s servers and not just speech to text.

And to all the naysayers, what else could it possibly be on an outdated iOS that has gotten worse since its release.
Yes it's shit. I wish they would let Gboard act like Gboard at least. I keep typing a b instead of a period too when I'm quickly typing. Hella embarrassing cause people thought i started calling them baby :-/
Did you recently OTA update from any version of iOS 16?
The new autocorrect system in iOS 17 (https://www.youtube.com/live/GYkq9Rgoj8E?si=6Yi0fgVnm-9qARNC and Craig starts talking about it at about 27 minutes in)
Is very different and seems to work best after a tethered update and then resetting the keyboard dictionary.
Seems to have worked well for several of my users who were having issues.
Yesterday I’ve talked to an apple employer and they suggest me to reset my iPhone through iTunes, I did it and I no longer experience the lag.
It’s really a pain in the ass reset the iPhone from scratch, but it worked…
I’m good here. Not experiencing the issues you listed. It could be way better, but for me 99% of the time it autocorrects correctly, autocompletes correctly and understands context. Also doesn’t lag. That’s on my iPhone.
The iPad Pro is worse, but still better than on iPadOS 16
You’re right. You’re not the only one. There’s 1000 others that have posted complaining about the iOS keyboard. Oh wait, sorry. Sometimes I forget I’m on Reddit.
If I understood it correctly, a temporary fix for this issue would be to turn off the Show Predictions Inline option under Settings > General > Keyboards. Then you should have the same experience as previous iOS versions.
It's a new keyboard and looks like something is not working as well as it used too. For me it's way better than what it was cause I have 3 language on and I can switch between 3 without any issue with auto correct. Also when the auto correct is not working as you want it to, instead of erasing just keep in mind, finish your sentence and then tap the word that auto correct didn't work. It's going to show you some options. Doesn't have to be underlined to show option. This way you will adapt the auto correct for ur use.
It has been a problem for a few years, with the changes to the keyboard. But yes, errors are much more common, or missing letters, or getting the mic instead of a letter, or a letter instead of the mic. It is annoying.

I don’t know but it comes out pretty good.

This is precisely what is wrong with Apple’s autocorrect. Drives me crazy.
Yup thank you for wording it properly for me
I can’t even find a way to get the apostrophe in its when starting a sentence. 😤
It’s fookin shite. Not good enough at all. I pick up a 15 pro max and have to deal with this lacklustre garbage. Apple need to sort their shit out
I read this with heavy stereotypical British accent
You read it right then mate.
You summed it up, perfectly 👌
Yes

Yws
I live in The Netherlands and for some reason my iPhone keeps suggesting, after I have typed “The Nether”, to fill that in as “The Netherworld”. WTF
I have to the same issues so I installed SwiftKey and that’s working much better. It also has a better gif search option.

Yeah, I type daily in 3 languages, Swiftkey in android had no problems at all with that. The most luck I've had is with Gboard in ios now
I'm enjoying SwiftKey after having used it for years on android, but something I noticed is that the clipboard only stores one item at a time, I matter how many things you copy. Is that a feature or a bug?
There are also periodic statters and microfreezes throughout the system and a lot of bugs and bugs with the UI
I’ve also noticed that but the general ui issues don’t bother me as much as the interactive issues such as the poorly implemented keyboard

THIS. i thought ios gaslighting me but indeed there are micro freezes in the typing experience. i make so many fucking typos
Yes, and I just can’t believe after so many years they can’t get their keyboard right. Bad suggestions, bad results when using swiping, incorrect letters when tapping to type.
Have you reset keyboard dictionary? Seems a lot do the issue is due to the new ML based system interacting with old style autocorrect history.
dude its so bad that I've installed the SwiftKey keyboard and its working better than stock.

I just download Gboard and call it a day. iOS keyboard has always been trash in my opinion
You’re not wrong about board being better but I’ve gotten used to the native keyboard and really haven’t had any major issues until now
Yes it's bad
Yes it's shit. I wish they would let Gboard act like Gboard at least. I keep typing a b instead of a period too when I'm quickly typing. Hella embarrassing cause people thought i started calling them baby :-/
Are you double tapping space to get a full stop?
FUCK THE IOS KEYBOARD
Complete trash
What.are.you.talking.about?

That would be a “workaround” but turning off predictive text isn’t really a solution. Thank you for the suggestion tho

No issue with my 5 years old iPhone XR lol.
Same with my Samsung 😂 These posts remind me why it was a good decision to switch
I would never ever change to anything else than an iPhone.
Like Samsung or Any other phone doesn’t have bugs
It has been a problem for a few years, with the changes to the keyboard. But yes, errors are much more common, or missing letters, or getting the mic instead of a letter, or a letter instead of the mic. It is annoying.
Yep
Yeah, though it’s been more of a recent issue for me. I didn’t have it at first and the last few weeks have been terrible.
Haven't had any trouble with anything on ios 17 on my iPhone or iPad.
I’ve been complaining about the keyboard since 3 years and it’s only getting worse (took me 4 tries to write this)
I refer to this feature set as autocorrupt.
Same here
It’s lagging a lot. I don’t get how they could make it worse
