One-handed finger swiping to type doesn’t work as reliably as it used to either. I am not sure why.

My recent experiment has been very disappointing. Mostly post upgrading to iOS 26? I’ve had to painfully change my behaviour to two-handed typing by default.

My suspicion— they’ve changed the ML system that inferred words based on swipes, and the new one isn’t as good in real world use.

I have a lot of trouble texting, independent of the issues here. I'm just clumsy and can't seem to do it in any productive way.

I'm working on this keyboard substitute with larger keys and split up keyboards: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/icantext/id6748927092. Give it a try if you want.

WTF Apple. And, yes, I've been the same boat. Thank for pinpointing that this is not me but rather another genius Apple design.

The iPhones autocorrect is one of my biggest frustrations coming from Android a few years ago. The biggest frustration for me is the tendency to correct the _second to last word_. I have never gotten used to this. I know i can stop it by "clicking" on the word instead of hitting space - but that feels slow and bad.

All commenters here missing the big picture/long game…. Apple just doing their part to poison the well for future LLM training data across the internet. With enough typos littered about the Internet, that’ll really grind foundation LLM trainers’ gears.

Any one know why the iPhone will put a random v or similar letter in the text by itself? It’s a really annoying bug.

I detest Apple's, and Google's, and Amazon's, and nearly every tech company's feedback system.

Apple's is by far the worst. All feedback is private. There is no way to show or advertise support for feature. Like I want to go upvote the feedback from this video, but all I can do is file my own feedback, which is more work, and therefore more people will choose not to give any.

Both Apple and Google and Microsoft have "users help users". These are infuriating as there is no official answer or help. There's just some fan with an often completely wrong or irrelevant answer. There is zero indication that any of these companies look here to see what's broken.

After a recent update, my keyboard started typing "and" as "and's". This happens 100% consistently, but only when swiping. I don't understand how such a bug happens. Yes, 's' is next to 'd', but "and's" is not even a word.
