I mean the functionality where it guesses what word you are trying to type, after seeing a few letters, or when you type by sliding your finger over the keyboard instead of pecking individual keys. I have all the custom dictionary and self-training stuff shut off on my old Android 7 phone (didn’t want to upload data to Google) and it still worked pretty well. Is it my imagination or is Android 13 a lot worse?
Amusingly, Android 13 seems more willing to use NSFW words. I tried to type “furosemide” (a prescription drug that a family member uses) and the phone sas “fu” and suggested “fucking”. Android 7 also had those words but wouldn’t use them until it was out of alternatives. I’m not offended but I think that change is funny.
Autocorrect is annyoing and every time I have a new phone my first actions are
- Disable audio/haptic feedback
- Disable auto correct in any capacity
- Set notifications primarily to vibrate.
Gboard autocorrect and behaviors today are as good, if not better, than they have always been for me.
I’ve tried other keyboards recently but nothing worked nearly as well for me.
Regardless of what you think of Microsoft, SwiftKey is far and away the best mobile keyboard for autocorrect. I try to stick with stock apps but the Google keyboard just doesn’t cut it.
I used to love SK. But, they stopped integrating Bitmoji.
I find that if you type out the whole word, by swiping or individual letters, no matter how inaccurate your presses or swipes are it can guess the correct word with high accuracy. If you instead type out only a little bit of the word its ability to guess is shockingly bad. So it’s better to scatter gun the whole word than try and type accurately but only type the word partially, if that makes sense.
What annoys me is that I swear it didn’t use to take me trying to type the whole word before it guessed the correct word. So something has changed, yes.
It refuses to auto-capitalize “I” for me. I have the setting on but it just refuses to do it.
AI has decided you are small potatoes and only worthy of lower case levels of respect.
well i stopped giving fucks long ago so i just send it anyway
Yeah, this one is so fucking dumb.

What I noticed is that the predicted word it’s showing you right above the keyboard doesn’t match with what it’s actually entering into the text box. I find myself having so many nonsensical sentences because what I thought I was typing is completely different from what it entered.
Which keyboard are you talking about? Gboard is as good as it’s ever been for me personally.
