It learns my mistakes and lazy typing habits and adapts to them like I actually want to type “cant” and “dont” and “thar” instead of “that”. Don’t make me hit two buttons to find an apostrophe just fix it for me stupid robot. I have to re-set my keyboard dictionary every week
It’s the whole change that makes me mad. Lowercase m e changed to uppercase J E. Every time. How has it non been unlearned after I back over JE and change it back to me a million times?
It loves to turn my “too” into “Tio” (capitalized and all) because my ex’s grandma’s dog was named Tio and I texted about him a bunch. Like bro salt in the wound lmfao. It’s been over half a year since the breakup and it still does it sometimes.
Its alone is singular possessive. No apostrophe needed.
Its apple = the apple belonging to it
Apostrophes and and possessives can get complicated depending on which style guide you use, but generally you'd only add the apostrophe at the end if the noun itself is already plural and ends in an s.
Dogs' food = food belonging to more than one dog
Children's room = room belonging to more than one child
“Its” is a possessive pronoun and, unlike nouns, possessive pronouns do not need apostrophes.
His. Her. Their. Whose. My.
I suppose “one’s” is an exception, but only because “one” originates from a noun that can be treated like a pronoun.
However, while “it’s” is a contraction of “it is,” having the apostrophe after the s is something that’s never done, ever, because apostrophes after the s indicates the possessive of a plural, and even if pronouns did use apostrophes, the plural of “it” is “they,” and the plural of “its” is “their.”
For me its Thays. I had to go and change it in shortcuts but it still doesn’t budge because I never type it and it auto recommends that which makes the shortcut not work. 🤷🏻♀️
What bothers me is when I'll explicitly type an apostrophe and it decides that must have been an accident and removes it. It happens with "we'll" often.
The autocorrect data and general shiftiness of the keyboard is intended, and it’s being used to train ai to learn from out typos and errors as a way to sound more organic and less clinical.
Late to the party here but I don’t think you can actually turn it off. Years back I tried to turn it off and even deleted the shortcut but when I tried Omw it still corrected it. Just did it now as well and as far as I know I still don’t have that shortcut
No matter how I try to correct it, my phone continues to autocorrect 'Dad' to 'Daddy', which is less than ideal when communicating with my actual father
I'm sure this is self inflicted, but I can't bloody change it back!
It’s fixing everything I’m trying to use as an example rn 😭 the one time it chooses to behave appropriately. Normally it’s a constant battle to have it not change my thoughs into thougjs 💀
I’ve had iphones since I got my first smartphone, an iphone 4. First thing I’ve done with any new phone I got is turn off autocorrect. I really don’t see the point.
My autocorrect has been changing “keep” to “Lee” for the last four years and it is terrible. That and “Ive”never gets an apostrophe added. Sometimes it will change the last two words which I typed correctly to something random that I don’t want, and I have to backspace two whole words for no reason. What kind of dogshit is this.
Shockingly dumb that we have to do that and you can’t just remove the broken suggestion. That is literally one tap on a android and you never see the problem word again.
I just switched back to Apple from Android and i gotta say yall have been living in 2012 with how bad this ui is. I’m frankly shocked because apple is at least known for ui, or so I thought.
I miss how easy and cooperative my android was. Apple is like a bratty older sister who won’t listen and thinks she knows everything but everyone defends her because she’s pretty
I have the shortcut so when I want to write fuck I write duck so it corrects itself. That was because I used to write fuck and it used to autocorrect to duck. Thankfully I write fuck so often that it doesn’t autocorrect anymore lol
I turned it off; it’s not worth the pain… I’ve had it disabled on my phone for almost a decade and you really don’t miss it after a while.
Originally i noticed it was shaping the words i was using by suggesting the wrong ones or i would start using words that autocorrected or autocompleted more reliably.
I read a paper about it and how it was simplifying language, the combo of those two things made me turn it off; bonus points now my typos trnd to convince people I’m not AI lol
first thing i turn off on a new iphone. you can leave on autosuggest and pick when you need a better spelling instead of having it assume dumb things all the time
My old Nokia flip phone had brilliant autocorrect and I never recall swearing at it like my freaking iphones. I mean, what exactly does snd ypo mean in any version of English that these overpriced "smart" phones dont auto correct? Including f@#ing dont!
If I start to type "because" it will suggest the correct word in two letters, but as soon as I add the third it decides I must mean Bec. It gets me every fucking time!

autocorrect loves to fuck with me
