How often do you have to change something that autocorrect corrected incorrectly?

Happens at least once daily on my lovely iPhone. I’d say it’s less than 50% on correcting things that actually need correcting. I just turned it off. Tell your husbends you can do that.

Constantly. I'm sure largely i'm the problem, but it does seem like as of the last like 6 months or so, it has gotten much worse. Like the times i've watched it change a word that it keyed one letter off on, into an entirely different word has been strange. Earlier, it changed figuratively (typo was figuratibely) to fatigued. Come on now iphone .

Frequently now. It didn't used to be that way. One of the big Apple version updates that came through in the last several years completely screwed it up and they never fixed it

It's done intentionally by Apple so that we will start using talk-to-text and voice memos more frequently so that they can collect more data on us!

Someone texted me

"I am going to eat."

Then I couldn't get in touch with them. Eventually I called them.

What is should have read is...…

" I am going to ER"

I worked with a lady named Margot. Her name was often auto corrected to maggot. It was kind of fitting since she was having an affair with our manager and utilized her influence against people in the group she didn’t like.

I use a lot of acronyms in my line of work, so I'm constant having to fight autocorrect when using them.

I'd turn off autocorrect, but the iphone keyboard has gotten so bad that most of what I type would be gibberish without it.

It seems like issues with the iphone keyboard started a year ago and hasn't gotten any better.

Very often.

Agree with people saying autocorrect used to be a lot better.


At least it hasn't started autocorrecting everything to an Amazon order link, yet.
