    It’s been driving me insane for a while lol. Been using touchscreen phones since they first came out and I really never had any issues typing, iphone android or otherwise.

    Happen to be using IOS at the moment and something happened to it. I can barely make it through a sentence without ridiculous errors.

    I decided to actually watch my fingers one time instead of the text body, and intentionally stop the instant my finger made contact with the screen. I could literally see how my finger would be perfectly centered over the exact letter I wanted, yet a different letter I was not in physical contact with would be entered instead.

    Nothing is more infuriating than executing your task perfectly and having some unbaked software layer make random unnecessary changes

      The apple keyboard already changes hitbox size based on what word it thinks you want to type. Maybe someone added a 0

    I really wonder if it’ll fix the issue I have. It seems somewhere along the way, the keyboard went from prioritizing where my finger lands to where it lifts from. I am great at striking down where I want, but when my finger starts to travel to the next key, it lifts diagonally instead of vertically, and they keyboard senses it as still touching and moving to the next key over.

    Also, the keyboard needs a bigger space between the letters and the spacebar.

    And why are there so many words no longer autocorrected that when I tap them have one one suggested correction, and it’s the right one—but somehow the keyboard can’t figure it out.

      That could be part of it. The iOS keyboard has swipe type now, and it’s been kinda shitty at touch typing since around the same time.

        Yeah, I turned off swipe right away since it thought I was swiping. Then noticed the problem above.

    I’ve got iPhone 17 in October and I find it almost impossible to type on its keyboard. Swipe works fine but tap typing is completely broken.
