I don’t know why I never thought of that … I just turned off a bunch of settings for ‘auto text’ ‘predictive text’ ‘ai assist’ … I like using swipe keyboards for typing out things on my phone … it’s a lot easier and more discreet than using voice transcription (which I use sometimes when I’m in a quiet space) … turned off all those extra settings and now it seems to be working fine.

BTW … thanks for that
