People use autocorrect?
I use swipe typing, so yes.
I cant stand that shit and fix my typos the old way.
I just hate that it automatically changes a word to something it thinks I wanted to type instead of just suggesting a spelling
I have minor coordination issues and can't type accurately on a keyboard as small as my phone. If I manually corrected every typo it'd take me 3 times as long to type anything. I miss the suggested words with my thumb half the time. I find it easier to just slam out a word looking vaguely similar to what I was trying to type and let my phone figure it out.
I wish they would bring back flip phones that had physical keyboards. Touch screens are fucking garbage and always will be along with the fuck bags that thought making all phones with touch screens was a high IQ play.
The Android keyboard changed a few years ago - it used to leave your word alone when you pressed space; now it will change your word to whatever the "AI" thinks.
