Apple's iOS 17.2 update introduced the ability to disable inline predictive text in Messages, addressing a common user complaint. By following a few simple steps in the Settings menu, users can now turn off this feature and also disable all predictive text suggestions. This update provides more control over iPhone features and aims to enhance the user experience.
Apple has improved its autocorrect feature in iOS 17 by adding a transformer learning model that better understands what users mean by studying sentences as a whole. Autocorrected words will be underlined with the ability to revert them back, and predictive text will show suggestions inline. Speech recognition is also being improved with a transformer model. All of these features are done on-device for privacy. The non-developer public beta for iOS 17 is scheduled to begin next month.
Apple has announced that its new iOS 17 iPhone software update will address the common autocorrect problem of replacing curse words with "ducking" or "duck." The update will make the iPhone keyboard "more accurate than ever" and allow users to type curse words without being autocorrected. Other updates include predictive text and the ability to leave messages on FaceTime. Apple's stock price set an all-time record, with its valuation just less than $3 trillion.
