I was hyped when I heard the news that it wouldn’t autocorrect anymore but it still happens smh. Unless I’m missing something?

Make a contact in your phone with Fuck Fucking Fucker Fucked. This works for anything. Any Contact in your phone will allow you to type that word out without trying to correct it.

I’ll try this

[–] Yoshi_87@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The keyboard is without any doubt the WORST part of iOS. That Apple STILL has not made a good keyboard for iOS is beyond me. Google figured it out 8 years ago.

[–] Senthusiast5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d say the keyboard and the notifications — such a shit show.

[–] paribas@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They still sell more and more iPhones. Maybe if this would decline they would concentrate more on issues.

[–] Senthusiast5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They lied. Autocorrect is still shit because it doesn’t have an actual personal dictionary to remember what you tell it to remember.

[–] MustiOp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This bugged me so much but it learned my habits in a week. In turkish we have "aga" it means bro, and we have "ağa" it usually means the wealthiest and most reputable person on a village. It learnes quick tho

[–] kinosamazero@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

iOS can do third party keyboards now right? Best recommendation? Autocorrect really sucks bad since 17!

[–] purplemountain01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apple keyboard is terrible on all levels. I have no idea how or why it's that terrible. The personal dictionary on Gboard and Swiftkey is a million times better.

[–] Icy-Sand6210@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn ducking duck

[–] N-from-Dlisted@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The ducking auto correction still makes me laugh, so I keep it instead of doing the learning function. 😂

[–] rayquan36@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used a trick where I put my initials to be text replaced by my email address for easy form fills. This just completely stopped working out of the blue one day. Sucks, it was so helpful.

[–] AMonitorDarkly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I do this as well. It still works fine for me. Have you checked your keyboard text replacement settings? I remember them getting cleared out once after an update. If they’re still there, would try deleting and re-creating them.

[–] Steeljaw72@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve noticed a lot of weird things with auto correct since iOS 17 came out. Just this morning it decided that Jeep wasn’t a word and kept autocorrecting to keep.

[–] Downtown_Snow4445@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I did this too, I thought everyone did this 😂

[–] DaddyBurton@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You forgot “fucked”, my good fuckered fuckering fuck, who fucked his fucking. Or perhaps I’m just a fucker.

[–] Z3ROS1X@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is what I did years ago lol. It works beautifully.

[–] 19cloud9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh fuck, I didn’t know this shit was a setting. Thank you for the advice. Now I can swear to my ducking heart’s content. Arghhhh, need to add fucking too.

[–] BoxerBoi76@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try resetting your keyboard dictionary.

[–] paribas@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Didn’t help for me.

[–] -DeanWinchester@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think you have to press on the word after it’s corrected and on the undo button that pops up

[–] bradgel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ve noticed autocorrect has tanked since the last update. Seems worse than it ever was and doesn’t seem to learn

[–] MrSquiggleKey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s also reactively auto correcting words several words behind and it’s driving me insane, like why are you correcting a word I typed 8 words ago.

[–] ACS1029@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I HATE this. Easily one of my biggest irritants with the keyboard, although it hasn’t been happening to me as frequently as it used to on like 15/16

[–] jamwin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

my iPhone won't let me type the word "bus" it changes it to bud

[–] Daves_not_here_mannn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bruh! And car becomes cad. It’s so fucking annoying!

[–] 19cloud9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Try typing bullet by swiping. I was trying to search for a Magic Bullet air fryer.

[–] Imentducking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hope not🤣

[–] CYPH3R_22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] bigmanteni@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s because after this update, all of what the keyboard learned over the years of you using your phone’s keyboard was reset. So essentially you’re typing as if you’ve just got a brand new phone. And the new autocorrect stuff is dependant on machine learning and only works on iPhone 12 or above

[–] Gorn15@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To me autocorrect on iOS 17 doesn’t feel like an improvement at all.

[–] Amplificator@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

iOS 16 was bad for me and iOS 17 didn’t fix anything. English is not my native language but believe me when I say this is much worse in other languages. I even looked at other keyboards, it is that bad.

[–] ang3sh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ya Apple what the duck!

[–] fxarts@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck it
Now you duckin'

[–] LineSpine@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I just disable autocorrect as a whole

Go to settings > general> keyboard > text replacement. Add this and your problem will never happen again

[–] n_g__@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] paulstelian97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Funny part is you can say it’s fucking bad, but I managed to type that without an issue. And even if not, it can correct like 6 words behind with more context.

[–] InfiniteHench@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tap the word fucking on the left side of the suggestions and iOS will learn that’s what you mean. That’s how you train the autocorrect system.

[–] mikesislac@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s fixed for me in iOS 17

[–] 15pmm01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No offense, but why the hell would anyone use the default keyboard when SwiftKey exists?

[–] dank_555@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I made a text replacement for this and it hasn’t let me down on the occasion I DO want to use ducking…. when I typed this I realised how I never use the word ducking

[–] Fun_Ambassador7836@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think it got worse. Wife and I switched because ios17, especially the autocorrect, got so bad. We would have to constantly go back and fix anything we typed. We also got an incredible amount of spam calls that seems to have been fixed by moving to Samsung. Kind of sad because in general, I like Apple products.
