The thing I miss most from Android after moving to iOS is how well auto completion worked when mixing multiple languages. On iOS I so often start typing, notice that the keyboard is set to the wrong language, then when I change language the half typed word (that didn't autocomplete and made me realize I had the wrong language set) is then autocompleted in the language I'm switching FROM so I have to erase it and start over. Sigh, I'd think that enough apple developers were bilingual so they'd notice the problem. On Android I could just use swiftkey and type away without switching language in advance.

For me it's even weirder cuz I feel like I get (for example) English autocomplete with a french keyboard and French with English.

It happens consistently enough that I'm very convinced there's a state machine bug in the UI between the autocomplete and the language picker.

You don't even have to be _that_ language proficient to end up with English/Qwerty + some random other language. So weird that this is so buggy.
