The video is worth sharing and watching, the author carefully captures the behavior of iOS keyboard, highlighting its quirks. I searched on HN, it didn’t pop up for “iOS keyboard” as a search query.

I experimented with turning off swipe mode, not much better. I switched to swiping but it got tedious and very context specific.

So I’m sharing this just out of frustration. In fact, it’s similar on macOS where it “corrects” your words that it’s unfamiliar with or that are simply rare. Sometimes a minor typo flips the entire meaning even though the distance to the right word is minimal.

Interestingly, right now it’s better than usual.

I hope to learn what can be done do to improve typing on iOS and maybe get rid of the autocorrect in Apple apps on macOS.
