Texting on a Samsung Galaxy

I make a 100 typos a second typing on my Galaxy. Have always used Samsung and have always sucked typing on these things.
I thought it was just me. And I lived with how bad my texting ability is.
Then I used my wife's (no pics) Google Pixel to text something. Not a single mistake. It worked so nice and easy.
No O when trying to type a P
No D when trying to type an S
No N when trying to hit spacebar
I typed Damsung so many times trying to write this post... over and over.
Gets to be so frustrating. I made 50 mistakes trying to type this freaking post..
Came to the conclusion that Samsung keyboards just suck arse.
Anyone else notice how hard it is to text on a Galaxy?

No, I’m a civilized person who uses an iPhone (zero typos, btw).

I kick all green bubbles out of the group chats.

I turned off autocorrect on my phone. It makes me have to look up the correct spelling of commonly misspelled words, which in turn I think helps me remember the correct spelling better.
The downside is that when I post here I often have to go back and edit several hours later when I notice I misspelled something or fat fingered the wrong letter. And text messages I have to immediately edit sometimes for the same reason.

You just need less screen time like my child
If I’m noticing a difference in texting abilities on separate brand devices I think it’s a deeper problem

I was at the TMobile store getting my second IPhone after having Droids for over ten years. I was forced to get the IPhone, particularly because my wife and I were being driven nuts by the shared grainy text videos of the kids. Apple bastards. While activating the Iphone, I asked the mid to late 20's guy which one he thinks is better. He was a Galaxy guy, attractive, and smart, and said that the downside is dating. He meets a woman online, they chat and chat and chat, exchange numbers, and after a few text messages he gets ghosted. He blamed it on the green bubbles. The modern shallow woman strikes again.

I don't like the Samsung keyboard either so I use the Google keyboard on my Samsung Galaxy phone.

I use SwiftKey on my Galaxy. I still make mistakes but that's because I suck at typing.

Download Gboard and then make it your default keyboard.
Now you have the same keyboard as a Pixel.

Since there are a few Samsung guys in this thread I need to ask y'all a question. Have any of you experienced issues with chrome being very slow and laggy? I have had this problem on my galaxy phone, particular on TD when there's embedded video in the threads. I click on a thread with embedded video and the screen is stuck for 10-20 seconds before I can scroll and when I do eventually scrolI it's very jumpy and not smooth. It got so bad that I switched to the Samsung browser as my default and I really don't like the interface as much but at least it doesn't lag on tigerdroppings.

I miss Blackberry. I could type on it without even looking at the keys.

I'm on my 3rd galaxy and haven't used the Samsung keyboard on any of them. Swift key and Gboard are both really good

You could just use voice recognition and scream your text or post onto your phone.

That's because you haven't tried the zflip phones.
