It’s too bad that its swiping performance is so shockingly bad. I cannot ever get it to swipe the word you without tapping a correction from the gray bar. The mandatory way it interprets swiping to those 3 letters, no matter how precise, is always turned into “your.”

I hate the iOS keyboard situation so much. Third party ones either crash and dump you randomly on the Apple one, or they have their own frustrating bugs. And the Apple one is of course more stable (or maybe just relaunches so fast nobody knows when it crashes) but it is ruined by its lack of a number row (or any other options) as well as bugs like the above.

You you you I am swiping you.

That’s funny. It works fine for me. Although swiping comes out as “sweeping”.

yeah no amount of resetting keyboard settings or anything else can change that for me. I've seen others that can swipe 'you.' :/

Maybe Apple would suggest that I take 2-3 days to fully dedicate to re-setting-up from scratch. Or maybe I'd do that and find that some corrupt entry in an iCloud-synced database was responsible and I would also need a fresh Apple ID.
