Any tips? Been an android user for many years and tried iPhone a little bit here and there but wanted to give it another try! I’m a phone nerd I have used so many in the last year alone and still have my Z Fold 5 and Pixel. I want to try the iPhone longer than 2 weeks lol got the 15 Pro max and nice so far so smooth…
Why is everyone just talking about keyboards lol
iPhone Keyboard is by far the worst aspect of the device. Especially when you compare it to Gboard on Android. It’s embarrassing actually how far ahead Gboard is.
Genuine question - In what way is gboard better?
Tried to look and all I can find are things like a google search button, that it uses how you write to “Improve” it for everyone, and that you can send them voice clips to analyse and make dictation better.
It’s customisable, it learns much better, dictation is always spot on, you can swear.
If you’re multilingual it works in every language at the same time, you can switch languages mid sentence and it will get it.
Swiping just works tremendously better
If you have the chance grab a pixel 5-8 and just use it for a day. Afterwards iPhone keyboard will feel like a prison for your digital communication skills.
You can also install Gboard on iPhone but it’s very limited in it’s functions.
having just left a pixel 7 for an Iphone gboard’s swipe is noticeably more accurate, its easier to get it to allow swearing etc, it does a great job of learning how you talk and giving super accurate suggestions, I’d say my typing speed has decreased by about 1/3rd. That said, the improvement in the camera has been worth it
The autocorrect software is like a million times better.
Having said that, still prefer Swiftkey autocorrect over Gboard, plus I can resize the keys for my big fingers.
For one, it’s missing the swipe to erase words gesture.
