I'm astonished people on this site use autocorrect at all. IMO it's a mind-bogglingy insane antifeature, even more insane than that weird "replace arithmetic expressions with their result" thing Apple once did.




I tried turning it off once, and the alternative was way worse.

It's worse because it keeps the text you intentionally entered? To be sure: I'm not talking about next word suggestions, only about it changing words after you already wrote them.

It's worse because touching the right spot on tiny screen with fat fingers is astonishingly hard.

Holding spacebar for corrections works fine though. Maybe my error rate is too low...

See, I just learned this was a feature when I read your comment a few seconds ago. I’ve had an iPhone since the iPhone 4.
