I feel like the android keyboard is really bad with talkback at the moment. Like, really bad.
This morning when I was in the car I had an issue with my Pixel Buds. I wanted to google it, but this is where the issue appeared:
As you may know, typing on Android devices with Talkback is already a quite slow experience even using direct touch. But imagine even if your finger is on the proper letter, if you lift it it chooses one that is next to it basically every third letter. If you have at least some bit of imagination, this will probably be very bad in said. And let me tell you, it infact is as crappy as it sounds.
I sincerely hope this is something which gets fixed as soon as possible. I already noticed it two or three days ago. If this won't be fixed, my phone simply isn't workable with and I will need to use voice messages and dictation for everything.

for me the most important is that it must answer calls in all the messengers, from bare phone to WhatsApp to Telegram to Teams to Signal, you name it. And on Android it's a freaking quest to answer a call, each and every time. It's a good system, I like its openness and stuff, but while it doesn't allow me to simply answer a simple call reliably and while it has those atrocious keyboard issues… sorry, no. #Android #Accessibility #TalkBack

@menelion Yeah I honestly can get where you're coming from. For me personally it's just easier to stick with Android. I'm more used to it, I've been using Android since my 10th birthday and never really disliked my experience. But again, I can totally get where you come from and at the end it's a matter of user preference. I appreciate to talk with someone who is not the typical "Android is meh, but I haven't tried it, but still IPhone is better" stereotype though. LOL
