I do have some problems though. My phone thinks st (short for station or saint, I guess) is something I need to type more than “at” and will often leave me with tons of st in my sentences.

Can I also vent about the lack of undo? I consider undo one of the most essential features of any computing device. How is it still simply not supported on the most widely used computing platform?
You can shake your phone. You do look stupid, but it works.

Try tapping with three fingers to bring up a set of editing operations including undo & redo.
I can't justify changing my phone now, but I'm highly considering my next phone to be an Android.
I regularly use both Romanian and English, sometimes in the same sentence and definitely in the same chat app to different recipients.
On old versions of iOS the checker eventually caved in and accepted my language mix no matter what language I had set the keyboard to.
These days it's really insane. Yesterday it managed to capitalize 3 words in the middle of an all Romanian sentence with the keyboard set to RO. No idea why, neither RO nor EN capitalize anything in the middle of a sentence and I don't have a German keyboard acivated.
The suggestions seem mostly useless as well. Even when it gets the language right.
Most people here focus on autocorrect, which isn't such a big problem for me since I'm used to having it off.
But what the hell is wrong with the cursor placement? It is so incredibly broken, it has a mind of its own, and never goes to where I mean to put it.
Simply tapping on text puts it in the wrong places, but holding and dragging cursor or holding and dragging on the spacebar to move it also works terribly, somehow it never does what I need it to.
Selecting text is just as terrible.
It's also impossible to put the cursor in the middle of a word. WHY NOT? Just put the cursor where I tap! It is so easy to do on Android.
I find it much easier to type and move cursor on my Galaxy S9 than on my iPad mini, despite the iPad having a much bigger screen.
For me the issue is that it learns the words I use. If I accidentally mistype and don't correct a word once, that word is forever cursed.

Mine throws in random French words that look like the medical words I was aiming for. Also for a 3 month period it was auto-correcting ’thé’ to ‘teh’ - i had to train it out of it by spending around half an hour just entering and cancelling the auto correct in notepad on both my computer and phone (because they’re linked) Edit… oh dear, it may have discovered another association I don’t want it to have
Ugh this happens to me all the time. Earlier I typed pre-sale and it put pré-salé for some reason, and it’s in English keyboard. Why have separate ones if you’re just gonna mush the auto together anyway?
