Hey everyone I just thought it would be funny to share a tiny portion of my text replacement list.

This is probably news to no one here but the iOS keyboard is an absolute nightmare to type on. What is strange is that when I first got the phone it was actually alright but now it feels like it gets worse day by day. I'm constantly adding new words to the list. I'm actually using text replacement as a reliable auto correct.

I disabled everything on the keyboard essentially:

It genuinely feels like the touch detection on the keyboard is off sometimes or when I type too fast without smashing the screen with my thumbs it will skip/not detect my input.

Am I the only one doing this?

Edit: please disregard "search" replacement I messed up that one.

You can add a shortcut word without actually assigning a shortcut, and it will add to the dictionary for autocorrect! You might already know this, but I don’t see any in your screenshot like that. I mostly just add swears and ASCII.

    strikethroughI will not use autocorrupt. I was forced to switch it off because it was completely posessed. I had to keep correcting it hence why it's off and now I have a mega text replacement list.

    Misunderstood. I also have those types of shortcuts like two @ for my email or a sequence of letters for sentences. The typos are so bad that I would need to have an acronym based typing.
