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.

    I actually find it much better than before, but I do switch the keyboard language to match the one I’m writing in, while in the past it was able to adapt even if I didn’t switch.

      I have both the Italian and the us/uk English and it works really well. I don’t know what everyone is complaining about. I don’t even have to switch as you mentioned.
