I’m sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I’m sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I’m sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it’s been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

    It was totally to give you content to share today on Lemmy /s

    I have wondered for a while if both the predictive and spelling ‘help’ these keyboard provide are getting broken because they’re integrating “what most people do” to your phone.

    autocorrect is like downright scary now. you have to double, triple check what you typed is what WAS typed.

      At some point, “lets”, “well”, “ill”, “id”, and “its” (among many others) have stopped being words, apparently.

      I’ve finally had to disabled it. Been a few weeks and while typing is more of an effort on my part, it is also much less frustrating.

      The predictive text was far and away the most annoying part.

        Disabling autocorrect showcased how bad I am at phone typing. But I have to be very mindful of what is actually corrected and corrected to. Especially in sms where there’s no easy edit
