If you never use swipe typing (where you slide your finger across letters, only lifting your finger between words), turning it off can make standard tap typing feel more predictable with fewer autocorrect errors. This method of typing was popularized years ago with the Swype keyboard. When Apple added the feature in iOS 13, it was turned on by default.
If you use this feature, please keep it on. But if you don’t type this way, you should turn it off.
Why this can help
Even when you mean to tap, a tiny drag between letters can be interpreted as swipe input. That can lead to weird word substitutions and more backspacing. Turning it off removes one extra “guessing mode.”
