I mean the functionality where it guesses what word you are trying to type, after seeing a few letters, or when you type by sliding your finger over the keyboard instead of pecking individual keys. I have all the custom dictionary and self-training stuff shut off on my old Android 7 phone (didn’t want to upload data to Google) and it still worked pretty well. Is it my imagination or is Android 13 a lot worse?

Amusingly, Android 13 seems more willing to use NSFW words. I tried to type “furosemide” (a prescription drug that a family member uses) and the phone sas “fu” and suggested “fucking”. Android 7 also had those words but wouldn’t use them until it was out of alternatives. I’m not offended but I think that change is funny.

    What I noticed is that the predicted word it’s showing you right above the keyboard doesn’t match with what it’s actually entering into the text box. I find myself having so many nonsensical sentences because what I thought I was typing is completely different from what it entered.

      This is about the most annoying thing that my keyboard does aside from it changing the suggestion every time you delete the previous incorrect word.

      Yes, this so much. I used to be able to rely on it showing the correct word and now it just enters something completely different than I expected.
