I gave up using swipe typing after the Nth time it changed a word 10 words back just as I pressed send. Maybe this is why in a few of those cases but not generally. Having to proofread messages after sending didn't seem efficient. But thank you for doing this... a little light shone on something goes a long way.

For some reason for me typing now feels like walking on ice. Sure sometimes it successfully corrects a mistyped word - but it so often changes a correct word to an incorrect one that I think I’m worse off overall.

I picked up my old iPhone 7 last week and typing on iOS16 on that MUCH smaller screen somehow feels MORE accurate.

Something’s gone seriously wrong with predictive text.

Do you mean iOS15? The 7 didn't get 16

Probably yeah - I was just kinda guessing at how old the iOS was.

All I know is it was OLD. But somehow the keyboard was way better
