You can get Gboard on an iPhone… it isn’t the same but the autocorrect is less heavy-handed.

Speaking of which, if you ever try swipe typing on the default iOS keyboard, try swiping “purple woman”. Probably comes out fine. Then try “black woman” or any color that could be a skin tone and I bet it won’t come out right. Mine used to change the first word retroactively which was… bad. So for example “black woman” would become “blank woman”, “block woman”, “Bosch woman”, etc.

They seem to have fixed it somewhat but now it always capitalizes Woman for me and refuses to act normal. Just a fun tidbit.

It only has numbers on the main page, not symbols. It will take more than that to get me to switch back to Google.

Yeah. That’s my issue with it as well
