You are not imaging things. It’s terrible. I wish we had an option to choose between their neural engine for typing and the old fashioned on-device dictionary. The dictionary was far more accurate.

I disabled autocorrect but left predictive text on. This has been much better and it exposes either how bad of a typist I am, or how bad the system is guessing at which key I meant to type.

I use the predictive bar to fill in or correct when it gets it right, or I go back and tap on a word to see if it has the correct replacement.

The main deficiency that caused me to finally disable is what you mentioned - Changing words that were correct when I typed them.

I erase my dictionary from time to time. I made bad puns so I know that does not help the system.

Also based on which keyboard is up, I will get an extra n or @ when I meant to hit space. Disabling autocorrect has really helped me to see these input issues.

To answer the original OP’s question, daily or at least weekly, anytime I notice an issue. Slow cellular data service can usually be fixed by turning airplane mode on and off and cell antenna on and off, both in control center.

There have been problems with both predictive text and autocorrection for at least 4,years. I turned off both.

When I got a new iPhone, one of the first things I did after it was set up was to turn both off.

iOS’s automatic text correction is atrocious. It is one glaring issue that seems completely ignored. I do not know what the answer is, but this isn’t it. I miss the OG swype keyboard I used exclusively before moving to iOS. That was, for me, absolutely the hardest part of transitioning from Android to iOS.

That’s not something I’ve considered much. Seems like the keyboard has been consistently an issue regardless of the app, but maybe I’m not paying as close attention to it.

The autocorrect performance differs between apps. At first I thought it was better for apple apps and everyone else got a downgraded performance but I get 100% correct in Microsoft apps like Words and Outlook, even with lazy dragging, and typing the same stuff in other apps gives me poor results.

No you are definitely not imagining things. It’s honestly gotten shockingly bad. It shouldn’t be happening for the price we pay. Usually used to be that there were improvements with each new update but that isn’t the case anymore it seems. The same with Siri if I’m being honest. I’ve honestly been thinking of just disabling predictive text. It’s more of a hassle than anything else these days but I keep hoping for an improvement with each update.
