You’re not alone. I am utterly baffled and infuriated with typing on my iPhone 12 Pro.

I used to think typing on old iPhones was amazing. But over the past several years there is a noticeable decline. It constantly makes the most bizarre and unhelpful corrections.

The situation should improve, now that ChatGPT has been released.

It's only a matter of time until it gets integrated with the keyboard.

Perhaps the reason they keyboard feels worse is the keyboard getting too “smart” already rather than being too dumb. But could also be an uncanny valley style curve, where “a little bit smart” is worse than both dumb and very smart.

Can you not install alternative keyboard apps on iPhones?

But they’re glitchy and sometimes slow to open (I presume because they’re trying to access the network)
