Apostrophes in autocorrect

15 votes

Typing words with apostrophes is currently very awkward. Phrases like "I'm" and "you've" disrupt my typing flow because of the long press delay; from other keyboard apps, I'm used to the apostrophized phrases being part of the autocorrect or the suggestions.

Convenience in typing common short phrases seems very important for a keyboard app.

(The word replacement workaround is not always an option, for example "I'm" clashes with German "im")

Hi Elena
This should have improved a lot in the meantime. Does it still happen to you often?

Hi Janis,
I can confirm this has improved! However, I still have to type the apostrophe manually a lot of the time, including instances of 'Im' and 'Youve' pretty frequently.
