Samsung is on my shit list. Their spammy, ad riddled UI is infuriating.
I don't trust them. They lock their phones down and don't let you remove their bloatware or block their ads/notifications.
Fuck them. Never buy Samsung.
Agree with this. Samsung has great hardware but I hate their software. I switched from them to iOS. Only thing I really hate in iOS is swipe typing and fucking awful autocorrect. Everything else is better than Samsung. They might also have a better camera but it's hard to keep up with all the leapfrog.
As an Android user, the iOS keyboard is fucking horrendous and I don't understand how people deal with that every single day.
I’m literally questioning my life choices right now thanks to this keyboard. Somehow they managed to make it worse in iOS 26. I regret ever installing this OS.
The keyboard is bugged and someone JUST caught it on slow mo changing the user input. It’s a wild bug and explains a lot because the iOS keyboard and autocorrect used to the gold standard. It was sooooo good pre-ML.
My complaints are not ones of bugginess. It's 1. the size and 2. having to switch layers every 3 characters.
iOS allows you to switch keyboards.
Maybe they're better now, but every other one I tried also sucked. Especially compared to the likes of GBoard or heliboard or FUTO keyboard or many other FOSS Android ones.
You can download gboard.
Oh I didn't realize that. I've only ever seen people use Apple!
I've dealt with it by using SwiftKey instead.
I recall Swiftkey being less awful, but with the side benefit of a keylogger, courtesy of Microsoft.
It definitely is. I'm not sure how to overcome this. The app offers the option to use it without an online account, but nothing guarantees that it won't phone home every second anyway.
