iOS predictive text is so aggressive after iOS 18.6.2 update
Since the most recent iOS update, predictive text has become overly aggressive -- it is making mistakes it did not previously make, such as "your" becomes "you're" when you put a space after the "r", it starts autocompleting words I haven't finished typing yet, resulting in repeated letters at the ends of words or garbage words entirely due to it choosing a different word than I was trying to type. Or another fun alternative is that it will treat each letter I type as the start of a new word resulting in something akin to beat poetry.
In the past I have found predictive text useful as a way to help me spell words I have struggled with pre-emptively, but I think I will have to turn it off entirely as it takes three times as long to write anything because I have to continually go back and correct it. I also have manual dexterity issues, so both predictive text and autocorrect when working properly can be extremely useful assistance devices.
I am using an English (Australian) default language setting, but the predictions it makes are not typically related to local usage.
I am seeing the mostly on an iPhone 14 Pro running a fully patched operating system, currently 18.6.2. I am experiencing this in multiple apps, including Message, Reddit, Discord, and Safari.
