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.
I honestly think everything about the new keyboard/iMessage is abysmal.
Having AutoFill right next to paste means accidentally clicking into my contacts three times a day, there’s two dictation buttons if you have that on, and the new app tray is so unbelievable cumbersome (and takes up the entire screen).
No idea what they were thinking this update. I feel like I used to be able to type like a wizard a few updates ago and for the last few months I’ve been struggling to adapt.
