Uhm yeah, a touch screen is not a keyboard. It will never be one.

#492This is a brilliant, Love that timer, not sure why the exact time frame was picked though.
It makes me want to create a similar landing page for Apple to fix Spotlight Search. I remember when I used to be able to just find and launch apps on my Mac.

#493I agree that this behavior is insane and should be fixed. Do however note that it is possible to install another keyboard on iOS, which may alleviate your suffering before you switch to Android in about 120 days. Personally I rely on Gboard [0] every day for the simple reason that it auto-detects several (more than two) languages, and of course it has the added benefit of not having this crazy bug. Gboard is google s…
Any properly supported third-party keyboards? Swiftkey was bought by Microsoft and lost my vote. Gboard stopped updating.

The social pressure is also technological. RCS integration was a big improvement but it's still not up to par. It's not "ha, greens are poor", it's "android arnold can't be in the group chat because it'll fuck it all up"
The tiny company behind Signal, and a bunch of even smaller companies making messengers, manage to make their app work just fine on iOS and android (and most of them on desktop too, some even in the browser). For some reason, the (second) richest company on the planet, which has a messenger app, is incapable of making an android app for their messenger and chat protocol. There's a technological issue, and it's nothin…
To be clear, I'm not saying it's a technological limitation Apple can't solve. Apple originally intended to release iMessage as a cross-platform protocol.
The technological problem isn't whether Apple could fix it, it's the fact that they haven't. So, group chats with one green bubble just work differently than group chats with all blue bubbles.

#495I'm still on iOS 16 (I don't use a smartphone anymore and my old iPhone 8 works fine for the handful of times I need one) and even I notice it, I'm constantly pressing one letter and it gives me another

I categorically do not love the timer. Timers should be a fixed-width typeface so the numbers don't jiggle.

#497I tried to call Tim Apple to complain about the shitty keyboard on my phone — here's what happened:

#498My guess is that the 'wrong letter entered' bug is by design.
The keyboard animation happens on the touchdown event, whereas the letter is entered into the text box on the touchup event.
Between the two, more information might emerge about the touch - for example the exact shape of the touched area, and movement during the touch, etc.
I would guess the keyboard sees a down in one spot, and an up in a slightly different spot which falls into another letter.

> "Use it or your social group will not want to interact with you" Maybe your "social group". If your friends refuse to talk to you because of the cell phone brand you use, I have bad news for you: They might not really be great friends.
Yes. Mean girls at school are mean. If everyone has the same color bubble they’ll just find something else to be mean about.
This is really reductionist. This isn't a bullying or in-group / out-group thing.
Someone who is not on iMessage will be excluded from iMessage group chats, just as someone who is not on Snapchat will be excluded from Snapchat group chats, just as someone who is not on Instagram will be excluded from Instagram group chats, someone who is not on WeChat will be excluded from WeChat group chats.

#500There’s one specific thing driving me insane: it corrects “we’re” to “were” and “we’ll” to “well” EVERY TIME. It even did it while writing this comment. If I go into the symbols menu and find an apostrophe and type it in IT MEANS I MEANT TO PUT IT THERE
It does EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE for me. It autocorrects to "and" to "and's" very single time, for example.
