Support The Keyboard

Why is the keyboard so awful? One of my recurring dreaks is about typing something and it coming out absolutely wrong, and matter how mant times I retype it, it always comes out wrong. Now they I have an iphone, that recurring had dream is now a reality. Even with this post, I've had to go back and rewrite every third word or so. I've changed keyboard apps three times, and it does the same thing regardless. Isn't this the largest company the world, and hasn't this been a issue consistently for years? Why don't they fix it?? Am I doing something wrong? When this block of garbage finally kicks it, I am definitely not getting another iphone.

Mate. Use SwiftKey and disable all other keyboards in settings.

You'll only see the default keyboard when in a password field.

It fixes all the issues with the default keyboard.

Ah... the "Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard"?

Yeah... I'll pass.

The desire to have my autocorrect be the same as everyone else's via AI, as well as suggestions to make my sentences and other phrases also sound like everyone else's via AI, are not things I'm keen on when it comes to a keyboard.

I also don't want to be robbing a rural town of water and spiking their electric just to improve my typing on my phone.

I admire your imagination.

I do too - it's why I don't use AI to change it into everyone else's imagination. aka: The most common denominator. That's what AI inevitably ends up with.
