#Apple keyboard predictive text professional#
Vey embarrassing in a professional environment.Īlso, what sense does predictive text make, if it only predicts words one doesn’t want to use, i.e. I have started sending emails and messages using German words by accident instead of the intended English words because I didn't see the subtle difference in spelling right away. When typing 'me' with the UK English keyboard activated, the Portuguese word 'melhor' (better) gets suggested though there are hundreds of English words starting with 'me'.Ĭertain languages are very similar. I have also tried Portuguese, Canadian and US English. This problem exists for all romanised languages it seems. There are thousands of more examples of wrongly suggested words, also capitalisation of words that are usually lower case in English e.g. When typing the first few letter of the German word 'Freundin' (girlfriend) whilst the German keyboard is activated, the English words 'From and Francisco' are suggested (not German words). When typing the first few letters of 'melancholy' with the UK English keyboard activated, the German words 'melancholie and melancholisch' are suggested. Predictive Text will predict German words though there are many English words starting with the same letter combination that has been typed in. Two keyboards have been activated on an iPhone e.g.
When writing text in any app using the apple keyboards (and third party keyboards like Gboard), Predictive Text predicts words from a different language than the keyboard language. Instead of simply ignoring a word from another language the following happens:
I haven’t found a way to let Apple know apart from Genius Bar guys who all confirm this bug but have no way to contact Apple about it. Predictive text has been seriously messed up since iOS 10 for all people using more than one language on their phones.
