    iOS has this controversial feature where it will change what you type after you’ve typed it. So you’re constantly proofreading.

    You can disable auto-correction: Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Correction

    I agree this is annoying and this is enabled by default.

      Disabled on mine. It still changes what I put. Apparently “and” is a bad word now. I can get it capitalised, I can get sand, I can get Andy, but “and” in lowercase, Apple says no-can-do. (Typing on my Mac now, on a mechanical keyboard. Odd that the Mac doesn’t have this problem. Probably because it has an actual keyboard. Mac does have predictive text, which is kind of annoying… I see the appeal, but I’m never gonna reach over and strike Tab to complete a sentence or word.

        What are you on about? Autocorrect can be annoying, and typing on the iPhone has gotten shitty over the years, but “and” is easily typed with or without autocorrect on. And and and and and.

        Typed on iPhone.
