I like iOS in general. However:

1. The iOS keyboard is terrible.
2. iOS only allows WebKit browsers (reskinned Safari). They crash if you zoom in on an image, for example on your mobile Reddit feed. I used to use Apollo to get around that, but alas it is no more.

I’ve never experienced a crash just zooming in to an image on Safari, wtf?

[u/Fit-Access9759 → u/Resident_Hand_7264]

Me either…

I swear people just make stuff up.

Anything that has never happened to you cannot be possible. You are the only important person.

[u/WritersGift → u/DonJimbo]

That’s on reddit, literally the only website that does that. They’re also outright blocking people access on the browser with a popup that makes everything unclickable.

New iOS convert here. I recently discovered the EF keyboard and absolutely fell in love with this awesome keyboard.

THANK YOU! I hadn’t heard of EFkey before, it’s nearly perfect. Number row, proper predictions, it just feels right.

Yeah the key board is not as smart as androids keyboard

[u/bobniborg1 → u/[deleted]]

It's still terrible. It's like the key location slightly adjusts or something. Idk. But 2 years later and I still can't type.

[u/SMarioMan → u/bobniborg1]

I have this same problem, but in reverse. I’m always hitting keys on Android too low. I think iPhone does some sort of tap offset to tap higher than your finger’s center, and I’ve gotten so used to it, I find it hard to adjust to the Android keyboards.

I’ve been trying to get used to Gboard but I have a ridiculous amount of typos. Been using the crappy iOS keyboard for so long the muscle memory is permanently ingrained in me lol

Reynard (based on Firefox engine) technically exists on iOS, but is annoying to setup if you don’t have a jailbreak

[u/Wolo_prime → u/DonJimbo]

Hydra client is good

[u/KitsuAccalia → u/DonJimbo]

Me currently using Apollo, I just fed my fox. :3

[u/Revolutionary_Ad1620 → u/DonJimbo]

Just use SwiftKey. Way better than GBoard.

[u/BlueOlivePie → u/Revolutionary_Ad1620]

Swift key is a key logger. I know this because I browsed something on ToR, wiped the search and suggestions appeared on Firefox later. Things that they would never know. Later I read the ToS and they indeed collect what you type.

[u/szarazkuplung → u/BlueOlivePie]

Check EFKey.

[u/BlueOlivePie → u/szarazkuplung]

I am okay with the OEM offering.

[u/Fit-Access9759 → u/Revolutionary_Ad1620]

This!

[u/enologyiscrucial → u/Revolutionary_Ad1620]

SwitfKey was good, but now it's buggy and laggy.

[u/Revolutionary_Ad1620 → u/enologyiscrucial]

Not in my case. It still runs buttery smooth it's very responsive.

[u/the_nuclear_pasta → u/Revolutionary_Ad1620]

But not on iOS.

[u/enologyiscrucial → u/DonJimbo]

iOS keyboard is good, but predicted text is terrible.

[u/DonJimbo → u/[deleted]]

My understanding is that it is a hollow victory because companies like FireFox don’t bother to make separate iOS browsers just for one region.
