Android and iOS have had cross-language autocorrect for quite a while now. You don’t need to be on the ‘right’ keyboard anymore.

They have the feature, sure, whether it works properly for the languages you are using is another thing altogether.
Somewhat close languages (french/english) are often not great, and adding CJK with anything other than english to the mix is also a recipe for a bad experience.

Well, maybe it’s just personal preference, but I use Dutch and English (a closer language pair than FR/EN) on Android and iPadOS, and it works great for me.
Of course, you still need to switch for CJK languages (because they need an IME), but that’s a given.

Even for just English, it gets some words wrong constantly for me. I would love to be able to watch someone type in their phone to see if I'm just using it wrong
