It’s abysmal garbage now. Was something changed about how it works?

I remember those memes from all those years ago (even from the skeuomorphic days of iOS; 2007-2013) where autocorrect can basically ruin a user's life.

I was an iOS user right until 2015, because I couldn't afford any of the new iPhones, and the old ones were really slow on the then latest version. I had an iPhone 4 at this point.

So I think I always remember iOS's autocorrect being garbage. Either it got better once I left and then suddenly got worse again, or nothing changed at all and it continues to be garbage without ever being good for a day. Can anyone else confirm this?

I had an iPhone for work from about 2014-2018. Autocorrect was as you have said the entire time (ganache).

Not sure what ganache has to do with this, but I actually didn't think someone else would relate to me this much.

That was a bad autocorrect joke (garbage > ganache). I had just woken up.

If it helps, I got the joke straight away.

Thank you. Oddly enough it does.
