iOS 11 - okay Apple isnt that smart

Last week I upgraded to iOS11 in order to get the March Madness app - an early game wasn’t available on our Apple TV package.

Some issues:
The autocorrect is whacked - attempting to post “some crap” turned into “Student me crap”. I have other examples.

‘ and “ no longer appear in subject lines. See thread title.

Aaaaand this #¥€*ing UNDO button. Switching to the .?123 keyboard brings up an UNDO button that you can’t get rid of and for some God awful reason Apple put right beside a minimize space bar. Yes there is a redo button in the top left of the keyboard but it’s really infuriating. I lost this thread’s text twice and had to retype it.

One option might be to use the number keys now on the alpha keyboard. Just pull the letter down suffragette Mar 2018 #4

I bought an iPhone 8x and I'm not impressed. The keyboard is the stupidest design I've ever used. Too many button presses to type numbers. Apple maps is awful. Not impressed with their mail app.

instead of tappping it and you’ll get the number or symbol listed above the letter instead.

This won’t be a fix for the issue, but you can avoid the 123 keyboard and the pesky undo button to some extent.

but I didn’t like it. I guess I’m just a creature of habit. I may switch it back.

I have upgraded to iOS 11.3 this morning on my iPhone 7. Now I understood why there's so many hates about it. Multiple apps including Instagram and Spotify and constantly crashing. Non-support of few of my favourite arcade games. Its a mess how do I go back to iOS 10?

Update: I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the apps and they have been working smooth once again
