Is it my imagination, or has autocorrect in messaging gotten much worse with the IOS 17 upgrade? It massacres text and makes all the wrong assumptions. It used to be able to separate words that were inadvertently typed together. Will it improve with time? I find messaging totally laborious now.

Greetings monroerr,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.
There were some changes made to iOS 17, which Apple described thus:
Autocorrect receives a comprehensive update with a transformer language model, a state-of-the-art on-device machine learning language model for word prediction — improving the experience and accuracy for users every time they type. It also receives a refreshed design to better support typing, and sentence-level autocorrections can fix more types of grammatical mistakes. Users will now receive predictive text recommendations inline as they type, so adding entire words or completing sentences is as easy as tapping the space bar, making text entry faster than ever. Dictation leverages a new speech recognition model to make it even more accurate.

iOS 17 autocorrect is exponentially worse than any previous iOS. It changes words far back in the sentence, without warning. It constantly adds apostrophes to words thereby making them nonsensical. The most flagrant example of this is "and's".
Have you told Apple your thoughts?
