what I hate is when you type something that's not In the dictionary, and it autocorrects, and you delete and retype it exactly the same, and it autocorrects again! siri im not stupid, if I type it the same within 30 seconds its because that's how I want to spell it !
Got a tip for us?

All Devices Why does “auto correct” in ios 13 suck so bad?
- Thread starter iapplelove
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
A problem that I have noticed, in addition to those already mentioned, is that iOS will often correct my spelling or typing but not delete the misspelt words or typos so I have to go then back and delete them manually.
Oh my god, I posted about this on another thread, but because I am not a native English speaker, I didn’t know how to explain it well. Thankfully you explained it pretty well.
So, may I ask... is this solved in iOS 13.2.3 or even in the latest beta of 13.3?
Thank you.
PD: I can’t believe what is happening with iOS 13 unless they are re-writting all the entire Operating System code in Swift or something like that. Otherwise it is strange how everything is so broken...
Thank you pal. I’ll keep waiting then. And I’ll report it, even tho I don’t find it easy to explain.
This thread is therapeutic.
(this also took way longer than it should Have to type because of the stupid autocorrect.)
oh let’s add random capitals to the list of ridiculous “corrections”.

I have been using the Google Keyboard for the past years (first on Android), and recently I tried the iOS 12 keyboard with the autocorrect. And I’m liking it so much that I will probably uninstall GBoard definitely.
So I won’t update my iPhone 8 to iOS 13 until it works so smoothly and perfectly, like it does in iOS 12. What a joy.

This problem really EXISTS. Apple, please fix it.
Yes that’s happening to me as well. It’s changing words and changing i to I in words like “is” and “in” the middle of sentences when there is no reason to. Good to see it’s not me.
I’d love to know what the heck they did. It was working fine in iOS 12. And yes its not the easiest thing to explain otherwise I’d be filing something in the feedback app.
I have officially turned off auto correct. There are times when I kick myself for having it off but for the most part it’s been more pleasing not seeing all the ugly foolish mistakes ios makes.
Guys please go to https://www.apple.com/feedback and let them know. I hope I'm not the only one doing this. Forum posts never count as bug reports.
Yes the most annoying part is the "correcting" an actual word!
Same here. shouldn't rule number one of any spell check be: "is this a correctly spelled word?" if so, DO NOTHING!! ??
Ya really does make no sense for as long as autocorrect has been around

My biggest problem is when I dictate something to Siri she'll get it right most of the time then autocorrect it to something wrong. It's so frustrating to see it change when it was right initially. I can say something like "The cat jumped in the hat" and it'll type out like that then go to "The car jumped into the horse". It will change it from something that makes sense to something that isn't even correct so it's like dumb autocorrect rather than trying to fix bad grammar or something like that.
I don't care for autocorrect on any Apple device. More so macOS than iOS.
The autocorrect on macOS doesn't give me grief for some reason. Of course I don't use Siri on my mini because it doesn't have a microphone.
Came here looking for this thread that I knew had to exist. Can't believe it's not 100 pages longer!
This has been pissing me off for months now. It's never been anywhere near this bad in previous versions of iOS. I type/swipe a word, it gets the correct word, then when I correctly type the next word, and press space, it changes BOTH the preceding words to different words that make no contextual sense!
WHAT THE F APPLE!!!!
LOL - you think there are more people texting about 'IS' (Islamic State) than there are people using the word 'is' . . .

Machine Learning algorithms consider the context. Of course I don't believe that more people are texting about the IS than using the verb "is", but enough people have corrected "is" to "IS" in some textual contexts that the Machine Learning algorithm picked it up.
Apologies for my initial tone
maybe you're right but it's no excuse for the software result.
Just wanted to post in agreement that I am having all these same issues. Also many of my friends are too. What did they do to iOS 13 to cause this? I've never had so much trouble typing on my iOS device since I've owned one. I hope Apple fixes this in iOS 14.
