Just a reminder that on Android, you can remove a faulty recommendation by pressing and holding it. Idk why it took me so long but someone pointed that out to me and it's less of a pain to write since then.
Oh geez this hits hard. Very few words on my iPhone show up exactly how I type them. Sometimes, out of frustration, I’ll type a word, see what incorrect letter it thinks I pressed, go back and deliberately type out the word one letter at a time, and it usually still picks the wrong letter or autocorrects to the wrong word. I swear the original iPhone keyboard was better in 2009 than my iPhone 16 Pro in 2025. I hate typing on my iPhone.
The words in the above paragraph that I had to manually edit or type more than once: show, frustration, incorrect, usually, swear, keyboard, in.
I thought I was going mad. Was thinking maybe it was me, maybe I need a bigger phone now. But then I was fine on smaller iPhones. Just doesn’t make any damned sense. They’ve broke it

Holy shit, that’s wild. And makes me feel a little better.
But TBH I’ve been having similar problems for years, though it’s noticeably worse right now for sure.

Give me a real fucking keyboard instead of this touch screen garbage and I wouldn't be making typos at fucking all.

Wife sends me crazy texts. I assumed it was because her English no so good, but I bet it's the iPhone.
Do those things have any sort of swipe, or do you still have to press each key?

The default iPhone keyboard is tap only, I think?

Last I looked, but it's been years. I can't imagine texting without a swipe KB.

You can swipe on the iOS keyboard. The keyboard still definitely sucks.
