Since iOS and iPadOS now have different feature sets (e.g., the iPad is only now getting the configurable Lock Screen), does anybody know whether iPad will also be getting this new autocorrect?
Got a tip for us?

iOS 17 Promises to Dramatically Improve iPhone's Autocorrect

Good. I’m so ducking tired of it always autocorrecting things I don’t want fixed.
Bullsiyt….
Apple today previewed iOS 17 for the iPhone, and one of the key new features coming with the update is improved autocorrect functionality.
Apple says iOS 17 includes a state-of-the-art language model for word prediction that will greatly improve autocorrection on the iPhone. Any time you type, on-device machine learning will intelligently correct mistakes with greater accuracy than ever before. In addition, you will now receive predictive text recommendations inline as you type, allowing for words or complete sentences to be added by tapping the space bar.
Autocorrection has an updated design on iOS 17 that briefly underlines an autocorrected word. Tapping on an underlined word reveals the original word that you typed, making it easy to quickly revert the change. The system will also learn your typing habits over time and avoid some corrections, which Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi said is designed for "those moments where you just want to type a ducking word."
iOS 17 is available in beta starting today for members of Apple's Developer Program, and will be publicly released later this year. Autocorrection can be enabled or disabled in the Settings app under General → Keyboard → Auto-Correction.

It’s why I turned off all of the autocorrect features. It got so annoying I just completely banished it.
Yes.
OS - iPadOS 26
iPadOS 26 delivers a fresh design, an intuitive, new windowing system, and a more helpful Apple Intelligence, so you can flow through work and play.

I use Swedish, German and English daily and find the globe convenient to switch between them. What I would like to see is a way to disable spell checking per language. English works so much better but Swedish (d)ucks, German so-so (I’m not near native speaking so I appreciate the help there).
Automatic language detection is another thing I’d like to see added, but I guess that won’t happen anytime soon.
They used ML instead which I understand is what drives most AIs anyway. Good on Apple, but I think there are covering the fact they are behind here.
To hear Craig explicitly announce how easy it is to teach autocorrect to swear in an Apple keynote made me spit out my coffee.
Finally! Apple is fixing something that is badly broken. Apple’s existing autocorrect is maddening. Can’t wait to see these new changes!
Good improvements to the keyboard. Hopefully prediction improves with usage.
Finally Apple spends time on it. I hope they spent more than an hour on it. Anyway, I believe it when I see it.
Any where is the dedicated number row? That must of been too much for them.

My personal bugbear is that it always autocorrects UK to U.K. I look forward to seeing the end of that.

Craig has been waiting a decade to come on stage to say "those moments where you just want to type a ducking word."! lol.
The one thing I hope they fix is auto correct changing words to something else it likes after three different words have been put in.
I'm 100% positive I've put the correct word in and continued typing, then I look back and it's changed one of the words to something else. It's infuriating.

Could anyone look more into any upgrade in other languages support. Prediction, translation or whatever?
And how many new features works besides English?
As long as it stops autocorrecting as it sends messages I'll be happy.
I find it weird how it offers a word on the bar above the keyboard and when I press it a totally different word appease , appears even 🤦♀️
