I use android (samsung flagship) and have been struggling with accurate typing in recent months

I havent found a root cause yet, tentatively chalked it up to advancing age.

I may have inadvertently selected a different keyboard (Samsung vs Google ) or wrong layout/settings when switching to newer phone.

while I definitely agree the autocorrect has gotten worse, what I find more of a problem is all the various other pop-ups that occur. For example, they recently added the ability to 'undo' an autocorrect, but this pop up grabs focus, and you can't click on text near this pop up, because the pop up will claim the click.

I've also had trouble getting rid of pop up menus (copy, etc). If I want to click on text, but it has decided to pop up a menu, it can be a real pain to get rid of it. (I had no problem on previous versions of IOS).

There's a fundamental law of features: Every feature you add may may make it better for people who use it, but it makes it worse for everyone else.

If you keep adding features, anything will eventually become unusable.

Although I do not use it myself, I had seen that some other people do, and that apparently you cannot disable autocorrect while still having prediction enabled (at least, that is what they told me); I think it might be useful to enable prediction without autocorrect.

My theory is that the keyboard team is composed of sadists that enjoy making us all ducking suffer.

There's another issue that's much more infuriating IMO:

- You're in the middle of writing a sentence.

- The phone is trying to guess how that sentence will eventually be constructed.

- It goes back 3 words and changes one to match its guess.

- Its guess is @)%(*%@ WRONG

My son has an Apple Watch SE 3 and it doesn't feature the keyboard and you literally cannot type a lower case 'n'. The only hack was putting in a space and then it will sometimes do an n (or multiple characters). It's bonkers bad.

I have found myself doing a lot more voice typing lately.

My biggest gripe is that when I say "want to" it replaces it with "wanna" unless I specifically enunciate "want to".

"Wanna" is NOT a word in english but there is no way to exclude it.

Frustrating.

I thought it was my own problem

I wish Apple would let you load different “dictionaries” for technical specialties so it wouldn’t try to autocorrect everything. For example, “IT”, “Automobile”, “Medical”, etc.
