I mean the functionality where it guesses what word you are trying to type, after seeing a few letters, or when you type by sliding your finger over the keyboard instead of pecking individual keys. I have all the custom dictionary and self-training stuff shut off on my old Android 7 phone (didn’t want to upload data to Google) and it still worked pretty well. Is it my imagination or is Android 13 a lot worse?
Amusingly, Android 13 seems more willing to use NSFW words. I tried to type “furosemide” (a prescription drug that a family member uses) and the phone sas “fu” and suggested “fucking”. Android 7 also had those words but wouldn’t use them until it was out of alternatives. I’m not offended but I think that change is funny.
Autocorrect has been getting worse and worse. It used to get it right more than not, now it’s the opposite. I had to rewrite the previous sentence several times.
That’s not just android. iOS is similarly shitty. Even when you reset the dictionary of custom items as suggested it is just shit. I remember being able to type after on an iPod touch than my current iPhone XR. The edges of the screen are basically non existent as far as the touch keyboard is concerned.
Edit: type after = type faster… my point I guess.
I experienced the exact same with the most recent iPhone that I owned. Autocorrect was just poor compared to how it used to be.
Yeah, it’s pretty bad. Like it will use words that are just straight up not even words now instead of popping up any autocorrect options at all.
And some words that clearly ore one letter off will not show the obvious right correction.
