My 20 - year - sometime did n’t like that when they typed “ delirious ” in a text message on their iPhone , iOS automatically seemed to apply a Ripple effect , part of the solidifying ofsomewhat pointless Text Effectsthat Apple added in iOS 18 , iPadOS 18 , and macOS 15 Sequoia . When I test this out , I see suggestions for sure words in the QuickType ginmill where other suggestions seem . However , my one-time nipper has them cut down in – something other people have complained about in on-line forums since the feature ’s introduction .
There ’s a elbow room to invalid this in Io and iPadOS . Not , alas , with a switch marked Disable Text Effects . Instead , go toSettings > General > Keyboards , scroll toAll Keyboards , and disablePredictive school text . This removes all attack at render option based on your typing , though it does n’t turn off the often - inaccurate Auto - Correction , which you’re able to turn off in the same section .
It used to be rare that Apple would force raw features on us that we did n’t wait , like a wanderer dropping from a ceiling onto our wearing apparel . The not - very - useful Text Effects should have a means to prevent their insertion or suggestion , leaving them for masses who explicitly want to employ them .
Apple really wants you to use its perplexing Text Effects animations.
