I considered it intentional, since as a matter of fact "autocomplete" is more correct.

Autocorrupt

Autocorrect and autocomplete are two slightly different things IMO. Both of them are in the wordlist on my iPhone also.

Swiping the keyboard used to be unreliable on iOS, then it improved enough to be usable. Then some updates ago it started to be nonsensical. Now I swipe to type something trivial, it writes the correct word, I swipe for the next word, it replaces the previous one with some uncommon word I've never used before and makes absolutely no sense to add in a sentence. It's maddening and it happens all the time.

Yes! Why is the keyboard on iOS still sooooo frustrating to use? Sometimes I wonder if it’s been intentionally nerfed to push us to use siri or apple intelligence.

I’m just waiting for the next iOS release with “Next-gen Swipe powered by Apple Intelligence Pro” (that conveniently only works on the latest 2 generations of iPhone)

The current iOS keyboard is the worst mobile/touch keyboard I've ever used, and that goes back to Android well over a decade ago.

I primarily type on mobile via Swype, which may account for varying mileage.

For the record, “primarily” took 4 tries, “varying” 2, and “took” 3.

Same difference
