I was hyped when I heard the news that it wouldn’t autocorrect anymore but it still happens smh. Unless I’m missing something?

Go to settings > general> keyboard > text replacement. Add this and your problem will never happen again

This is what I did years ago lol. It works beautifully.

[–] 19cloud9@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Oh fuck, I didn’t know this shit was a setting. Thank you for the advice. Now I can swear to my ducking heart’s content. Arghhhh, need to add fucking too.

[–] DaddyBurton@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You forgot “fucked”, my good fuckered fuckering fuck, who fucked his fucking. Or perhaps I’m just a fucker.

[–] BoxerBoi76@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Try resetting your keyboard dictionary.

[–] paribas@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Didn’t help for me.

[–] jamwin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

my iPhone won't let me type the word "bus" it changes it to bud

[–] Daves_not_here_mannn@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Bruh! And car becomes cad. It’s so fucking annoying!

[–] 19cloud9@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Try typing bullet by swiping. I was trying to search for a Magic Bullet air fryer.

[–] bradgel@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’ve noticed autocorrect has tanked since the last update. Seems worse than it ever was and doesn’t seem to learn

[–] MrSquiggleKey@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s also reactively auto correcting words several words behind and it’s driving me insane, like why are you correcting a word I typed 8 words ago.

[–] ACS1029@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I HATE this. Easily one of my biggest irritants with the keyboard, although it hasn’t been happening to me as frequently as it used to on like 15/16

[–] -DeanWinchester@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I think you have to press on the word after it’s corrected and on the undo button that pops up

[–] Imentducking@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I hope not🤣

[–] ZoLoftFTW@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Make a contact in your phone with Fuck Fucking Fucker Fucked. This works for anything. Any Contact in your phone will allow you to type that word out without trying to correct it.

[–] Little_Spray1683@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’ll try this

The keyboard is without any doubt the WORST part of iOS. That Apple STILL has not made a good keyboard for iOS is beyond me. Google figured it out 8 years ago.

[–] Senthusiast5@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’d say the keyboard and the notifications — such a shit show.

[–] paribas@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They still sell more and more iPhones. Maybe if this would decline they would concentrate more on issues.

[–] bigmanteni@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That’s because after this update, all of what the keyboard learned over the years of you using your phone’s keyboard was reset. So essentially you’re typing as if you’ve just got a brand new phone. And the new autocorrect stuff is dependant on machine learning and only works on iPhone 12 or above

[–] Senthusiast5@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They lied. Autocorrect is still shit because it doesn’t have an actual personal dictionary to remember what you tell it to remember.

[–] Gorn15@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

To me autocorrect on iOS 17 doesn’t feel like an improvement at all.

[–] Amplificator@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

iOS 16 was bad for me and iOS 17 didn’t fix anything. English is not my native language but believe me when I say this is much worse in other languages. I even looked at other keyboards, it is that bad.

[–] MustiOp@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This bugged me so much but it learned my habits in a week. In turkish we have "aga" it means bro, and we have "ağa" it usually means the wealthiest and most reputable person on a village. It learnes quick tho

[–] ang3sh@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ya Apple what the duck!

[–] fxarts@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Fuck it
Now you duckin'

[–] kinosamazero@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

iOS can do third party keyboards now right? Best recommendation? Autocorrect really sucks bad since 17!

[–] LineSpine@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I just disable autocorrect as a whole

[–] N-from-Dlisted@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The ducking auto correction still makes me laugh, so I keep it instead of doing the learning function. 😂

[–] paulstelian97@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Funny part is you can say it’s fucking bad, but I managed to type that without an issue. And even if not, it can correct like 6 words behind with more context.

I used a trick where I put my initials to be text replaced by my email address for easy form fills. This just completely stopped working out of the blue one day. Sucks, it was so helpful.

[–] AMonitorDarkly@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I do this as well. It still works fine for me. Have you checked your keyboard text replacement settings? I remember them getting cleared out once after an update. If they’re still there, would try deleting and re-creating them.

[–] InfiniteHench@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Tap the word fucking on the left side of the suggestions and iOS will learn that’s what you mean. That’s how you train the autocorrect system.

[–] Steeljaw72@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’ve noticed a lot of weird things with auto correct since iOS 17 came out. Just this morning it decided that Jeep wasn’t a word and kept autocorrecting to keep.

[–] mikesislac@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

It’s fixed for me in iOS 17

[–] 15pmm01@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

No offense, but why the hell would anyone use the default keyboard when SwiftKey exists?

[–] dank_555@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I made a text replacement for this and it hasn’t let me down on the occasion I DO want to use ducking…. when I typed this I realised how I never use the word ducking

[–] Icy-Sand6210@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Damn ducking duck

[–] Fun_Ambassador7836@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I think it got worse. Wife and I switched because ios17, especially the autocorrect, got so bad. We would have to constantly go back and fix anything we typed. We also got an incredible amount of spam calls that seems to have been fixed by moving to Samsung. Kind of sad because in general, I like Apple products.

[–] purplemountain01@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Apple keyboard is terrible on all levels. I have no idea how or why it's that terrible. The personal dictionary on Gboard and Swiftkey is a million times better.
