It’s almost 2023 and there’s still not a single decent input method for Chinese Pinyin on #ios. The built-in one has gone so much worse over the years: the dictionary is so limited and outdated; autocorrection, when it doesn’t autoincorrect your correct typing, constantly suggests words that are so niche or just made up. Alternative is buggy Gboard or one made by a Chinese company and fully give up your privacy. AI can speak human languages now, but iOS can’t help humans speak Chinese properly 🫠
Was typing “possum” in Chinese, which spells “fu shu” in Pinyin (phonetic representations of Chinese), and iOS decided to suggest “Disney”, which spells “di shi ni”, as a candidate word. Really confused with iOS Chinese keyboard’s logic and dictionary. 🤷🏻‍♂️
