Please have the chat access auto-correct

Here's what clan chat is like:

Incan (backspace, because n is next to the spacebar) I can drop troohes (backspace, because o is next to p) trophies to find a berter (backspace, r is next to t) berter (DAMMIT!, backspace) better troohy (UGH! AGAIN!) trophy hunting ground.

People aren't active on my clan chat, and I think I know why. Chatting is really hard. Like the Ents from Lord of the Rings, we don't say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.

For some reason the game doesn't use the iOS auto-correct like other ones do, including the terrible, terrible Kingdom Age. Trying to type in CoC is like trying to talk with a stutter. I'm constantly backspacing, trying to type each word 3 or 4 times with thumbs massively larger than the keys on the screen. Worse, if I see a mistake 3 words back I have to backspace ALL THE WAY BACK, then try to type those three words again, and guess what happens.

If not the iOS auto-correct, can the game at least put in its own?

Android is facing the same problem, if they're not using auto correct, please make it possible to go somewhere in a sentence, without having to use backspace

... make it possible to go somewhere in a sentence, without having to use backspace...

Takes so much longer to type on the CoC keyboard than on a regular Android keyboard...and for some reason the space bar is not as responsive. I've often wished I could type my message in another app and paste it into the chat window! During really busy chat times, sometimes by the time I get my comment/response posted the conversation and/or participants have changed...the intended recipient is gone and/or stopped paying attention be because the new "conversation" (sometimes "conversation" is a little too generous) isn't relevant to him/her.
I have the added annoyance that my tablet regularly powers-off in the middle of my trying to tap out a message--it has a knack for happening just as my clan leader appears, when I (as a co-leader) want to ask/tell him something. If I could type it faster (and correct it more quickly), there's a be a better chance of getting my message out before the tablet powered-off! Of course, the [elsewhere-requested] ability to send messages between/among leader/co-leaders would lessen this particular urgency/frustration somewhat!

The worst keyboard in-game around. Major fail on their part. Even silly free texting apps just use the default keyboard without limitations. I'm not sure what their motivators were but I bet there is a reason. At least let us use swipe that puts spaces between words. Or access to a cursor for quicker corrections. Just allow system keyboard.

same thing with Hay Day neighborhood chat

Yes I compleatly agree and btw that was a funny post. The worst is when your 4 words already in to the sentence and you can't just touch where you want to type. Great idea man.
