iOS keyboard autocomplete
 help



Surely its copy and paste though?

You underestimate just how annoying iOS autocomplete can be.

I really don’t! I switched it all of months ago - autocomplete, autocaps, all of it. I reached a point where the constant frustration had to be worse than any productivity gain it was hoping to offer.

A few months on… I like it! Frustration is all gone, any errors are just on me now, and it forces me to slow down a bit and use the brain a bit more!


Not just iOS but macOS too. And it seems to only get worse. And with no notice to users. And no response in their forums.

I’ve been using Cotypist on macOS [1].

Sometimes it feels like it’s reading my mind when I’m typing.

oh, no, I notice, but typically not until after hitting send

I swear sometimes it doesn’t apply the corrections until I submit the form. It’s infuriating.
