Lately my phone likes autocorrecting legitimate, correctly spelled words into different words that are similarly spelled. And typing names is impossible — you have to go back and keep fixing the autocorrect over and over bc it will just keep changing it back to whatever it thinks the name should actually be.
I would turn off autocorrect but the fact that it adds in apostrophes for me is invaluable. I would go nuts if I had to add those in manually all the time.
But I’m also reaching my limit in frustration at how stupid some of the corrections are.
(Can’t wait for the Mastodon reply guys to swoop in and tell me that this is somehow my fault for typing the wrong way or something.)
@wholegroanoats@ana yeah I noticed it with swipe but remembered that swipe typing on iPhone was never good. However, the auto-incorrect has definitely gotta worse when I look back at the past month. It seems like they came out and claimed that “fucking” would stop autocorrecting to “ducking”, but somehow every other word is now the target of rogue corrections.
