I want to turn it off entirely, but the “smart” hitboxes for the digital keyboard are also so imprecise that I rely on autocorrect to accommodate my fat fingers.

    “Autocorrect,” for instance.

    I’m using the Samsung one. I’ve tried a couple FOSS keyboards, but I just can’t get used to them. They always make it super hard to find the special characters or non-English letters like ñ, which is a PITA since half my family speaks Spanish.

      I can’t stand the Samsung one because it doesn’t let me swear. I’m an adult, damnit. I want to be able to say what I want without my phone policing me like a child. So I use Gboard instead.

        Hmmm I don’t seem to be having this problem, but I remember it happening at one time. I think I’ve manually added all the fucks and shits by now.

          That’s the thing, I can’t even manually add them. I searched all over the web, but wasn’t able to find a solution. I think in older versions of the Samsung keyboard, you were able to do this. But newer phones or newer versions of the keyboard or something removed this feature. It’s dumb.

            This is my second Samsung phone, so maybe my settings carried over? I agree that it’s dumb though. Samsung just seems to get worse over time.

          Also doesn’t suggest “assassinate” and all of its forms except “assassin(s)”
