I hope rants are allowed on r/apple… didn’t see anything about it in the rules.
My iOS keyboard has new behavior since a few days ago. I have most of the QOL features turned off because I sometimes mix different languages, use abbreviations and sometimes need to communicate scientific names/concepts that aren’t saved in dictionaries. I do like the “predictive” option because it saves me from typing commonly used words. Apparently there is now an auto-fill feature that is grouped with the predictive keyboard option. So, if I type “Backe” (german for cheek) but iOS thinks the most likely word I am writing is “backed” it will automatically add a “d” when I hit space.

Please for the love of god put all the auto-correct / auto-format / auto-fill / auto-bulls*** options separately from the other QOL options. Predictive text options IS NOT the same as typing things automatically for me. It should never be combined.
Anybody else experiencing this frustration? Does anybody have a workaround? I have never really experimented with custom keyboards before but maybe I should.

Wait, I’m still on iOS 16 and my phone does that too? Sometimes if I type a word and hit space it will change it, so I have to go back and re-type the word and then tap the word itself in quotes on the leftmost side of the predicted list of words
Due to iOS 17 selecting properly spelled words when I simply wanted to place the cursor, it literally drove me to Android after 15 years of iOS!! Galaxy Fold5 baby. Come on over, the water’s warm. Dunno wtf Apple is doing here.
I’ve been ending my sentences with v for as long as I can remember. Fucking annoying v
