> I know people that use dictation for the majority of their text messages and email.

Yeah, I'm one of them. The iOS keyboard has slowly become so bad that it's easier to dictate instead, and my partner does the same while driving via CarPlay. This is horrible to read about.




I recently saw a conversation somewhere about this, people said turning off swipe-typing made a significant difference in the keyboard experience. Haven't tested it myself as I use swipe, and have no issues. But might be worth a try.


Wow, this makes a huge difference, to the point where I can type without even looking at the keyboard (tried with and without looking).


I moved from a Huawei P10 plus to a fairphone 4, and I'm not sure what happened but the typing and autocomplete experience is awful


Maybe it's the keyboard, Huawei phones usually had SwiftKey as the default keyboard


I saw that too. It definitely helps! But it’s still less accurate somehow even than it used to be afterwards


Huh it appears to be true
