> Autocorrect Won't Take No For An Answer

Oh god. I don't use an iOS device regularly, so when I encountered this issue I had to control myself not to throw the device. Absolutely horrible experience. Worse part is that it autocorrects when pressing "send", not just when adding a space or a period. So the correct word gets corrected wrong and immediately sent.

I've owned iOS devices since around 2010 I think, and one of the first things I do when setting them up is disable autocorrect and most other typing assistances. For this reason! Also when typing in 2 or 3 languages, it is completely useless.

iOS 18 really fucked up the multiple languages setup. It used to automatically detect secondary languages when I had the English keyboard, but still prefer English. Now you have to create keyboard combos and can't reuse languages (can't "prefer Spanish but also support English" and viceversa)

Oh my GOD. YES. FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED. Everytime i use an iphone it drives me insanely insane. I dont understand how this isnt one of the most common tech complaints i hear.

This ruins my day every time i think about it.
