That’s not just android. iOS is similarly shitty. Even when you reset the dictionary of custom items as suggested it is just shit. I remember being able to type after on an iPod touch than my current iPhone XR. The edges of the screen are basically non existent as far as the touch keyboard is concerned.
Edit: type after = type faster… my point I guess.
If I see AI in front of any other average functionality I might just punch the first tech manager I see.
