The keyboard is bugged and someone JUST caught it on slow mo changing the user input. It’s a wild bug and explains a lot because the iOS keyboard and autocorrect used to the gold standard. It was sooooo good pre-ML.
Comment on Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships
Ulrich@feddit.org 23 hours agoAs an Android user, the iOS keyboard is fucking horrendous and I don’t understand how people deal with that every single day.

My complaints are not ones of bugginess. It’s 1. the size and 2. having to switch layers every 3 characters.

iOS allows you to switch keyboards.

Maybe they’re better now, but every other one I tried also sucked. Especially compared to the likes of GBoard or heliboard or FUTO keyboard or many other FOSS Android ones.

Oh I didn’t realize that. I’ve only ever seen people use Apple!

I’ve dealt with it by using SwiftKey instead.

I recall Swiftkey being less awful, but with the side benefit of a keylogger, courtesy of Microsoft.

It definitely is. I’m not sure how to overcome this. The app offers the option to use it without an online account, but nothing guarantees that it won’t phone home every second anyway.

I’m literally questioning my life choices right now thanks to this keyboard. Somehow they managed to make it worse in iOS 26. I regret ever installing this OS.
