As an android user who has an apple-only-girlfriend... I'm always amazed at how exceptionally terrible autocomplete is on her iPhone, and how much better the Android counterpart is. Lol the complete absolute nonsense the iPhone of hers will predict is crazy for a premium phone from the worlds most valuable company. Not hating (I love their hardware - not software) just wondering why is it so bad on Apple ? Is there l…

Maybe she’s the problem? It “learns” as you go based on your habits, so she probably just writes very differently from you.

Posting reply here for more visibility. Folks who can reproduce the "sketch" --> "sketchers.com" behavior or the "realty.com" --> "realtor.com" behavior, would any of you be willing to file the issue via Feedback Assistant (only needs a free developer.apple.com account) with a sysdiagnose and a screen recording? Then give me the FB number. I can get the Safari team to look at this, but I can't reproduce either behavi…

> but I can't reproduce either behavior myself Me neither. manOS Catalina, Version 10.15.5. Safari Version 13.1.1 (15609.2.9.1.2) EDIT: Still can't get used to Safari's URL completion behaviour. It is completely unnatural and hard to feel as useful, unlike chrome's which is very handy and behaves like I expect.

WebKit has a public bug tracker.

Apple Safari (mobile and desktop) doesn't use the WebKit.org bug tracker. They do their own thing.

Safari is the absolute worst web browser by far. Both mobile and desktop. This kind of egregious error is only the most obvious part. Try doing a WebRTC conference call in Safari. Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Jitsi Meet, etc, etc, etc. None of them support Safari. Do you know why? It's because Safari is absolutely riddled with bugs: [1][2][3]. It is incredible how bad Safari is. [1] https://bugs.webkit.…

Google Meet works fine, as does Jitsi Meet. We're working with popular WebRTC providers one at a time. Unfortunately, the state of WebRTC interop is pretty bad across the board, so providers use website lockouts and qualify one browser at a time. Sorry about those three bugs. They do sound like bugs and will be looked into.

This has been driving me mad for the better part of a year: the autocomplete behavior in Safari is totally broken. Last year it started picking words from your query and going through your history and using that to autocomplete so you'd always go to some random thing from your history that's barely relevant even for the most generic search terms (if I type "ptrace" I want to go to a web search, not some random Stack…
