Nope! Can you imagine using the keyboard without any of those things??
I get not getting to every supported language at once - but I wonder if they’ve forgotten that we exist? Like, is there a queue somewhere that they’re working through, and soon they’ll get to what we should’ve gotten in iOS 10? 😛
(I use SwiftKey, which at least has swipe typing and word predictions. Also better than stock on punctuation, and I can have both Norwegian and English simultaneously.)
@jarrod Yeah, I used “swipe” I think it was called on Android. It was extremely good and learned when you corrected it, so after a while it was very accurate. iOS doesn’t seem to do that. The keyboard is the most frustrating thing about iOS for me. IMO it’s utterly shite.
@kev I’ll admit that I think the rhetoric around the transformer model “fixing” the keyboard in the latest update was overblown. It’s better, but still not great for me.
never had.
Not all the time, mind you, but regularly.
“Fun” fact:
The stock iOS keyboard for my language (Norwegian) has received zero (0) new features since iOS 9(!).
So of course no new LLM autocorrect - but also no swipe typing and no word predictions. 🙃
@jarrod Yep, big swipe-typer here!
@jarrod Very, very occasionally. Usually when I can’t hold my phone with both hands.
@Havn What?! Those don’t all get updated together?

@Havn Yeah, sounds like a case of it being forgotten, which sucks. Luckily a third-party is filling in the gap for you.
Yeah, SwiftKey is good - but there are of course positives with being able to use the default…
yup, using it right now!
@jarrod I am. Although it’s horribly bad on iPhone. Android was streets ahead, even years ago when I switched away.
@kev Oh really? I’ve not tried it on Android to compare, so I’ve been satisfied with it on iOS.
@takeo 🙌
not for anything long form but definitely for quick replies or until it predictions let me down.

@jarrod It was called “Swype” - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swype
