I dislike GBoard because it will frequently autocorrect words which are already correct.
It drives me absolutely insane. Like "it's" is a contraction for "it is", but "its" is a possessive. Yet whenever I want to use possessive "its", autowrong "corrects" it into "it's".
No, that's not what I wanted to say - if I wanted to say that, I would've typed that. You recognize both words as "real" words, yet you insist on changing the correct thing to the incorrect thing.
I love GBoard otherwise, but that drives me positively up the wall. It's a relatively recent behavior, too - it hasn't always done that.
I do experience the same, yes. I think my brain automatically backspaces a couple of times and corrects the correction. Now you mention it, it will probably bug me now lol! You may find deleting "it's" and "its" stops those autocorrections.
