I've noticed that spellcheck on my iOS device has taken a nosedive recently, and it seems like my family members are experiencing the same issues. We aren't bad at spelling, but our fat thumbs are sometimes the issue! I suspect something has changed with spellcheck, but I'm not sure what it could be. Do I need to look into third-party apps for a better experience? If so, what do you recommend?

Instead of trying to fight the changes, I suggest getting comfortable with the tool. It's good to embrace it and learn its quirks! I came across a detailed guide on adjusting to the new autocorrect—definitely worth checking out!
Honestly, there's no app that can outperform the native features. You might just need to slow down a bit while typing!
Thanks! I get that speed can be a problem sometimes, but it feels like spellcheck has completely forgotten how to spell. I don’t expect it to handle Latin well, but it’s like it forgot English too!
Did you happen to update iOS recently? After the transition from the old autocorrect system to the new machine learning-based one, many users found it to be overly sensitive to errors in its training data, especially after updates. A good tip is to reset your keyboard dictionary and let it re-learn your typing habits!
Thanks a lot! That was really helpful. I had a feeling something changed but couldn't put my finger on it. I usually wait on updates to avoid issues, but I didn’t this time.
So many people seem unaware of how much the autocorrect system has changed. I had to explain to a lot of folks that it relies heavily on training data!
I appreciate the link! I've been an Apple user for years, but I also switch platforms for work, so I need to adapt quickly sometimes.
