Definitely all in what you get used to. I've barely used android (last time I had one was probably 8-10 years ago). Anytime I've tried using any Gboard or any other 3rd party keyboards on iOS they drove me crazy and I ended up switching back.
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
it is very bad indeed had the iphone since last year november 4th 2022
but I didnt know auto correct could be a problem until I tried the apple keyboard
Go to settings-general-keyboard and untick the “.” shortcut, atleast you get rid of the annoying period on the right side this way
Did they make a recent change to the keyboard? I remember having that problem, but now my keyboard looks like this:

If I want to type a period I have to go to this screen:

And I usually just double tap space bar at the end of a sentence. I think it’s been like this for a while but haven’t thought about it. I use swipe for most typing.
oh yeah we know.
I.love.it
Single worst thing about iPhone imo. And even Swiftkey somehow is almost complete ass on it compared to Android.
Prepare your heart for the final boss, that is the calculator
Been there done that, from pixel to iphone >gboard>swiftkey
I can recommend SwiftKey
Use swiftkey. It's close enough
Imma be honest im so conditioned to the iphone keyboard other keyboards fuck me up. Ive used it since ios 1.
FYI, coming from android you must love customization (i did atleast) and you can actually make your phone unique by using tools such as cowbunga lite ( Cause your on ios 17 probably ) and flux which are tools to customize your phone without the disadvantages of a jailbreak
apple’s stock keyboard is boring
i guess it depends what ur used to, any time i get an android i try and make the layout like ios lol
Word! I miss very few things about android but my keyboard is one, I know I can add other keyboards but they just don’t function right 🤷♂️
For me iPhone keyboard is hundred times better than Samsung or Google.. I don’t know why I hate keyboards in Android phones..
Just install GBoard
Gboard is ok but hasn't been updated in years.
It was good before four or five years ago but for some reason, Apple changed it.
Funny. I really enjoy the iPhone keyboard. The Android keyboard drove me crazy lol
I think the issue is with the return key, which is normally a big key and people got used to clicking the left part of the key to press return. However, on Safari, that return key is split into full stop and return key and people subconsciously click that full stop thinking of return key.
Oh my god thank you for posting this, I had NO CLUE iPhone brought keyboard haptics back!!! Feels so much better now, +1 to OP
The space bar is friggin massive. How are you hitting the period so much? Could this just be a muscle memory thing?
Keyboard and gestures are really terrible.
Just use Fleksy Keyboard. It's the best all around. Mostly because you can really quickly add new words to your dictionary. So it makes it easy to type in multiple languages at the same time or use specific terminology.
It's also much faster and accurate, than swipe based keyboards
Sometimes I wonder if I’m too lucky with the one good iPhone 14pro that was made cuz damn, the things people complain about…
So on your app store, search/download"Gboard". Open the app, follow the instructions. Gboard is 100% is a better keyboard than the original ios keyboard
it's is but it's 53% worse than Gboard on Android is lol
It was good four or five years ago but for some reason, Apple changed it.
My only complaint is that it doesn't have a built in clipboard.
I just want a GBoard like from Android on iPhone. The GBoard offered is not the same. I miss it on my pixel. Alas, here we are.
I use swiftkey on iPhone. The stock keyboard is borderline unusable.
I really think this keyboard got bad with the latest iOS. They hyped it up so much about its predictive text. It’s way off and just difficult to use compared to GBoard.
The period thing is so fucking annoying
YES YES YES
As I type more than one sentence, the text starts to jump around to the beginning and other odd places, so I constantly have to reposition the cursor or text starting point with my iphone ( it’s got iOS 16.7.2 ) And the dictionary is shiite, it constantly auto incorrect to something misspelled, or corrects words that were spelled correctly. I wish it would do less but more accurately. At least Android didn’t go back and change words.
SwiftKey. I need my number row
How do I use Gboard on iOS? Can you share a link to an installation guide?
Recently moved from Android to iOS and hate the keyboard!
Swiftkey is the way to go but it's still inferior to the Android version where long presses gives symbol or number options..why that isn't on the iPhone I don't know
Wait where? I don’t even have a full stop on my keyboard when I type normally.
