@untitaker i never used actual t9(the thing that autocompletes), just manual entry. and yeah it's the haptics, i sent so many messages just from muscle memory from my pocket..

it's similar to how i still sometimes respond to stuff while not even looking at the screen because a keyboard also has feedback. doesn't really work when grug smashing a glass surface..

(but by far the worst offender of this is the car infotainment stuff where they removed all the buttons where one actually has to use them while driving lol)
