It’s 2023 but autocomplete on one of the most popular mobile platforms on the planet is still not good half the time.

In my previous post, it guessed that my mangling of spelling “despite” meant that I wanted the word “seabird” inserted.

‘… my old car didn’t sell seabird a deeply discounted price’? Is that what you think I was shooting for? Because wow.

Then of its own accord, it added ‘s to the corrected word.

Yes… “despite’s”… which isn’t even a thing.

GAH.

@reay autocomplete was a front page feature for improvements in iOS17 so hopefully we won't have to suffer for too much longer.

@MetzoPaino I mean, I’m not asking for the world. But remotely sensible context and words that are actually words would be a great start. 🙂
