GP is saying he would like not to but cannot shut it off because they’re not using autocorrect but text replacements. It does make sense in the general case to sync text replacements, just not if you’re using it in place of autocorrect
Phase 1: iPhone w/o autocorrect but with text replacements.
Phase 2: iPhone and macOS, but text replacements are synched without option to disable. I don’t want autocorrect or replacements while typing on a real keyboard.
Phase 3 (reluctantly): iPhone with autocorrect, macOS without it, and no text replacements.
tl;dr it would be nice if I could disable text replacement on a per-device basis.
Unfortunately, when I got a Mac laptop, those replacements were synched and for some reason can’t be disabled on just one device.
Now I’m back to autocorrect, fighting with the AI to learn technical terms and command line entries for when I need to talk to colleagues over chat.
