I turned off my iphone’s autocorrect because it made too many stealth errors. Now I notice all my mistypes.

I have a friend named Zi in my contacts. For some reason ios kept autocorrecting “I” to “Zi” and would do it too far back for me to notice.

What’s weird is how this is such a dumb bug that Apple usually irons out.

I seriously wish there were a way to turn off access to contacts, for both autocorrect and dictation.

It drives me nuts the number of times it misinterprets some common word as a name I have in my contacts.
