I mean the functionality where it guesses what word you are trying to type, after seeing a few letters, or when you type by sliding your finger over the keyboard instead of pecking individual keys. I have all the custom dictionary and self-training stuff shut off on my old Android 7 phone (didn’t want to upload data to Google) and it still worked pretty well. Is it my imagination or is Android 13 a lot worse?
Amusingly, Android 13 seems more willing to use NSFW words. I tried to type “furosemide” (a prescription drug that a family member uses) and the phone sas “fu” and suggested “fucking”. Android 7 also had those words but wouldn’t use them until it was out of alternatives. I’m not offended but I think that change is funny.
Glad I’m not alone in this, I thought I must be exaggerating. I switched from a Galaxy S8 to a Pixel 7 and it seems years behind.
I post things here every day about owls, and half the time it switches it to “iwl” or “iwls” and the there/their/they’re selection seems bad.
Deleting nonsense suggestions is helpful. Or deleting actual words that you rarely use. For example, swipe often will type “slay” instead of “also”, so I just delete slay from the dictionary.
Thank you, I always forget that is a thing!
