I hate my Samsung's autocorrect. Sometimes it just decides to autocorrect the correct word that I typed correctly and make it into a completely different word that doesn't even make sense.

Like it is trying to determine what I 'really meant to type' based on predictive text.
Thank fuck I'm not alone in this pain!
It happens all the ducking time.
It didn’t do that before. It’s like they fucked with touch boundaries or something a couple of versions ago, and iOS 26 is even worse…
I don’t know for sure, but I feel like autocorrect is integrated into the touch boundary system because every time I go to google something related to the Nintendo switch, my “w” keypress is detected as “e”, and I think it’s because there’s more words that begin with “se” than “sw”
I feel the same, and that is an incredibly shitty thing to do.
I noticed that typing and corrections got MUCH worse during the week-or-so I had Apple AI turned on. Turning it off made my keyboard perform like it used to.
Thing is, I don’t have any AI on my iPhone 15; I also turned off the swipe keyboard thingy…
Life has gotten significantly worse with big fingers as my phone has a function (that I thankfully was about to deactivate for now) which has complete AI Gen messages that auto text to a recipient if you fat finger them.
Like fuck I'm gonna answer "Sounds good! 👍" to some asshole like a fucking jackass.
Touch screen keyboards are all shit as a large hand person, if only we could have a modern sidekick smartphone... aahh one can dream.
You know what I could type long emails on without any issues on?

Screen based keyboards have never been as easy or fast for me as the physical ones.
I miss my Bold 2 (9700 I think). The keyboard was perfect for touch typing, shaped in a way to make it much easier to type on. Even if the screen of a new phone is half the size of my current phone, as long as it has a keyboard like the Blackberry Bolds I would honestly be quite satisfied.
Doesn't Apple allow custom keyboards since... dunno, a decade? The default one was shit from the beginning, treat yourself.
Any recommendations?
Every one I have tried is shit. Like, they correct my main problems with the Apple keyboard, but simultaneously introduce an equal number of just as bad problems. Looking at you, SwiftKey, Typewise, and Typocity or whatever.
Yeah they're somehow all complete fucking garbage. I don't understand how there isn't a single keyboard for iOS that isn't shit, you'd think there'd be a market for that.
SwiftKey seems to be the least shit. It's still shit, but it's not as shit as all the other options – at least for someone who uses 2 languages daily. At least it has autocomplete for both English Finnish; fucking iOS still doesn't have autocomplete for Finnish.
And to the inevitable "switch to Android" replies: iOS is also shit, but it's less shit than Android
Never seen YouTube revanced or actual adblockers for iOS though. I'm not willing to take part in the whole ad game. It's a pity really, because for music iOS devices are simply better.
I use Firefox and not Safari so I really can't comment on the ad blocker situation for Safari, but I thought there's a few available? I know that we're all supposed to hate ABP because by default it allows "acceptable ads", but it at least seems to be available – although I obviously can't vouch for how well it works.
It gets a lot of rage, but Brave browser excels at blocking YouTube ads. I never see them. And yes, there are numerous adblock extensions for safari. I recommend choosing one and buying the full version.
Afaik every iOS browser is just a re-skin of Safari. I have yet to find an acceptable ad blocker or scripting extension. Plus iOS is super clunky. Don't like it one bit. Have to use it on my work phone and I'm just so much happier with Android.
My point was just that since I don't use iOS Safari, I don't know about its ad blocker situation
And what I meant to say, is that you think you're using Firefox, when in reality you're using Safari with a Firefox skin. Not judging you or anything, just letting you know that iOS is very limiting.
Just to switch to Android. Sorry, it's been too long.
The srugl is rreaL
And autocorrect is awful. It’ll sappily hang swords into whit yew dent wane. Yet it won’t change a word that is one ketter off because it can’t seem to figure it out.
Eberyine dont backspaxw and typr on mobile with no sqipe
My iPhone keyboard is my favorite.
I have a pretty nice mechanical keyboard but I usually cast my phone keyboard.
Is uh.... this satansmaggotycumfart 15th alt or something? Your username is... so... idk how to describe it.
Say what now
What.
