iPhone Autocorrect Frustrations Hit Many Users Hard

X users including DrewVento posted that iPhone autocorrect alters words they spelled right and creates extra typos. DrewVento stated Apple is messing with the keypad and said he knows he is not making that many errors. Others noted the tool changing terms like duck despite never typing about waterfowl and one suggested disabling predictive text in settings to restore earlier behavior. A reply called the changes a demoralization effort.

Apple is 100% messing with the IPhone keypads. I know for a fact I’m not making this many typos.

@DrewVento The worst is when you glimpse for half a second your correctly spelled word before AutoCorrect changes it to something else

Is your iPhone keyboard deceiving you? I turned off predictive text and now my phone types like it used to. Try it: settings-general-keyboard-predictive text off. Let me know how it works for you because it gave me my sanity back typing and correcting like it used to!

    @WillyCuz Nope, everyone is noticing this. It’s across phones, too. It’s not just Apple.

For all the AI and machine learning on my phone you’re think it would remember the things I type regularly and stop forcing me to retype “duck/ducking” every time. I have never talked about water fowl in my life via text
