Similarly, iOS only has a built-in dictionary with definitions for 18 languages and the thesaurus is only available for English (United Kingdom and United States).
The QuickPath keyboard only supports 7 languages and no new languages have been added since Apple added the feature a year ago. This means that users speaking some languages, including Polish with over 40 million speakers and smaller languages with many iPhone users like Norwegian, might still not be able to use predictive typing. What are your experiences? Please share them here bellow in this thread!įor example, Apple introduced predictive typing with the QuickType keyboard over 6 years ago, but it still only supports 18 languages. You feel betrayed by Apple when you have to pay more money for the iPhone than in the United States (even when you take into account taxes, shipping, tariffs, tolls and warranties in many cases) and still get a phone with fewer features and can't use basic features like Scribble. Could it be because Apple uses artificial intelligence and machine learning more today, which requires more sample data?Īt some point you start to wonder if Apple even care about these users in countries outside the United States (and other major countries to some extent).
Features that could be available in a relatively large amount of countries or languages are now only available in a few countries or languages when they launch. I also feel like the situation has become worse over the years.

In my experience, Apple is very bad in terms of supporting some software features in countries and languages besides the United States and English (and a few other major countries and languages).
