With the introduction of iOS 17, Apple has not only made major changes but also implemented subtle improvements to make using your iPhone even more comfortable and intuitive. There are some notable changes to the keyboard in particular that enrich your everyday interaction with your device. In this article, you'll learn all about the new keyboard and autocorrect features in iOS 17.
The keyboard is a fundamental part of your iPhone and has a significant impact on your user experience. Even small adjustments can noticeably improve typing, writing messages and composing texts. iOS 17 therefore brings not only aesthetic innovations but also functional optimizations that will support you in your daily use of the device.
Autocorrect on a new level
Autocorrect, which has always been a central part of the iOS keyboard, has undergone a remarkable transformation with iOS 17. With the help of the "Transformer Language Model", autocorrect is now smarter and more personalized than ever before. The model adapts to your writing style and learns your choice of words to provide more precise suggestions. iOS 17 ensures that autocorrect anticipates what you want to express even better. Word completion is almost intuitive, and even acronyms, slang words and regional expressions are now handled more accurately. Not only are typos recognized, but the context of your text is also better understood.
iOS 17: Correction made easy
The changes to autocorrect go beyond improvements to suggestions. When words are incorrectly corrected, a blue line now appears under the changed word. A simple tap on it shows the word you originally typed, which you can select by tapping it again. This feature prevents tedious retyping and increases the efficiency of your text input.
Write faster with word autofill
The keyboard in iOS 17 now presents word suggestions as you type. By tapping the space bar, you can accept the suggested words directly. This feature speeds up typing and will adapt more and more to your preferences over time.
Sentence auto-completion for more efficiency
iOS 17 extends auto-completion not only to words but also to entire sentences. Tapping the space bar once or twice is enough to insert entire sentences. This intelligent feature saves time and makes the keyboard even more user-friendly.
iOS 17 delivers more precise grammar correction
Another notable feature of iOS 17 is the improved grammar correction. Incorrect words and grammatical errors are highlighted and suggestions for correction are displayed. This increases the quality of your texts and ensures a more professional writing experience.
Dictating at a new level
The dictation feature has been updated with the same powerful language model. Although not perfect yet, the dictation feature promises more precise recognition and interpretation of your spoken words thanks to continuous improvements.
Sticker and Emoji in One
With iOS 17, stickers and emojis were combined in the keyboard. A tap on the emoji icon reveals not only emojis but also your sticker collection. This allows for wider use of stickers and emojis in different apps, including the Messages app.
iOS 17 Conclusion
iOS 17 has taken your iPhone's keyboard to a new level. The extensive improvements in autocorrect, word and sentence autofill and grammar correction offer you a smoother, more efficient and more pleasant writing experience. The clever combination of sticker and emoji functions fits seamlessly into the overall picture. With iOS 17, typing on your iPhone is more comfortable than ever before.
