iPhone users are facing a frustrating glitch in their typing experience following the latest iOS 17.4 update.
Many are finding that even with autocorrect turned on, it’s not catching their typos as it should. This problem seems to be hitting older iPhone models the hardest, though the exact ones affected aren’t clear yet.
According to reliable sources like MacRumors, Apple is aware of the issue and is rushing to fix it with an upcoming iOS/iPadOS 17.4.1 update, expected to roll out in the next few days. This update, labeled 21E235, aims to restore smooth typing by addressing the autocorrect problem head-on.
On the other hand, exciting changes are on the horizon with the upcoming iOS 18 update, including the integration of Rich Communication Services (RCS) in the Messages app. This update will enable seamless communication between iPhone and Android users, allowing for the sharing of high-quality photos and videos, read receipts, typing indicators, and participation in cross-platform group chats.
Additionally, Apple is delving into generative AI technology to enhance Siri and the Messages app’s capabilities in handling queries and providing auto-complete suggestions. This advancement may extend to other apps like Apple Music, Pages, Keynote, and Xcode, aiming to create a more intuitive user experience overall.
Of particular note is Apple’s plan to integrate large language models into Siri, which is expected to revolutionize complex task handling and deepen integration with the Shortcuts app. Anticipated for release in 2024, this feature holds the potential to significantly enhance automation and efficiency for iPhone users.
