I wish all phone keyboards had a easy toggle to turn off all “smart autocorrect” features so it types exactly what you entered with no changes when you want to
That's already how it normally works if you just press buttons. This is for swipe-typing, which has to be "smart" because you swipe across many buttons and it has to figure out what you meant.
Even when you type one character at a time most keyboards including apples try to autocorrect what you type, especially if you use more than one language or use uncommon slang
Hmm, ok. I use Gboard and it doesn't do that.
