Autoccorect is off but my phone keeps autocorrecting previous words. I use slide to type.

There's no option to tap an anything after the phone autocorrects my previous word. This is what I'm trying to disable.

It doesn't show the x, when it changes my word before my current word.

This only ever shows for actual autocorrection suggestions on current words but never on the previous words.

I don't mind the latter, but changing my previous words is really frustrating. I've already moved on and half the time don't realise. It's almost always wrong, because I know how to type, so by the time it changes my words it's from the words I specifically edited or typed.

Half the time my messages are incoherent as a result. It's not just me. Everyone complains about it but it's been broken for a long time now.

I really don't get how phones regressed so much behind.

I'd love to be able to disable this broken function. Once I disabled autocorrection and enabled autocapitalisation, now the autocapitalisation doesn't work so i spell i with a lowercase letter.

I don't want to move back to Android just to be able to spell and type my messages without sounding like an idiot who can't put a coherent sentence together.

I've seen on this forum how many people have had these issues for years so instead of trying to tell me how to spell, I'd love for this to be actually fixed please. A turned off functionality should turn it off - not ignore user preferences. It's against basic accessibility.

(to clarify, i know that you're not working for Apple so i don't expect you to fix it for me!)

i can't even be bothered to correct spelling issues anymore.

Btw, thank you for the link.

The link points to predictive text. This is not what i have an issue with. Predictive text suggests the next word. It's changing words that come next.

My issue is with my phone changing previous words without my acceptance of those changes and without any feedback. It's changing words that were before.

On top of all of this, when the phone changes my previous word, and I tap back to that word, it will not let me move the cursor back to it. I have to tap somewhere else. So fixing those changes gets even more tiresome because it's not possible to go and fix it.

No. I don't use apps like this because I can spell. Though with my current iPhone I'm starting to doubt if I'll retain this skill in the future... it's becoming impossible.

Given how many people have the same problem I don't see how resetting my phone will help here. It's a known issue that Apple need to finally fix.
