The iPhone autocorrect has got noticeably worse over the last 4 years or so. I’ve been an iPhone user since 2012 and I’m sure it used to be so much easier to type on despite having a significantly smaller screen.

The thing that grinds my gears most is if something happens to be an apple trademark, it will auto capitalise it. For example “power nap” (the name of a feature on macs) becomes “Power Nap”.

I’ve seen a few people saying that the iPhone typing experience has gotten worse lately. I wonder if there’s any analysis to back this up or if Apple are aware?

Well it has. I’d love for an option to go back. I like swipe typing and turning that off seems to be the only way to dial down some of the atrocities the “intelligent” keyboard commits.

And the childish profanity filter. God beware, someone wants to type "shit". We can’t suggest this word and maybe autocorrect it to something else.

I've also had a similar one, typing in French. In my case, it's "c'est chiant" (that's shitty / tough / etc). I usually use it at the beginning of a phrase, so the first C is capitalized.

Now the autocorrect learned that, and offers to fix it if I misspell.

But the funny thing is that it doesn't realize that the capital C is not part of the phrase, even though "c'est", by itself, exists and is often used (meaning "it is"). It typically appears because the auto-capitalize is on, I don't voluntarily type uppercase.

So now, if I want to type that in the middle of a sentence, it will helpfully capitalize the C...
