Ask HN: Am I getting older or did typing on the iPhone become unbearable?
It’s not just you.  They keep making changes that aren’t intuitive or wanted and never revert them. Gboard is pretty much the same.  Things like guessing proper names even if I didn’t touch the shift bar and with the iPhone keyboard I absolutely hate that it changes words I’ve finished swiping even though I have autocorrect off. It spends more time trying to guess what I meant than the letters I manually type or glide type either way. Don’t even get me started on text selection on here. I miss good old Swype so much.  I guess if you can’t beat them, then buy them out and shut them down. I keep swearing that I’m going to Velcro one of those small Bluetooth handheld keyboards on the back of my phone case.
