    iOS Autocorrect can't be turned off

    Since the update to iOS17 where autocorrect was 'improved', my iPhone has been driving me absolutely mad. My native language is not supported in my keyboard language settings, and as a result I do not use autocorrect. Since iOS17, with autocorrect turned OFF, the keyboard STILL replaces certain...

    iOS 16 autocorrect/predictive text issues

    Maybe this has been covered, and maybe I’m just being a dolt, but my iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 16 (as of 7 hours ago) seems to suddenly use multiple languages to choose from for autocorrect and predictive text dictionaries when writing in English. It is not a language I am familiar with. It mostly...

    Autocorrect: Not to nit?????

    So autocorrect has been converting not in a sentence to nit. Randomly and without warning… Also tries to fix tenses. “Tries” kept getting converted to “tried”… like what? Also “If” to “of” and “of” to “if”…. It’s like my autocorrect wants people to think, I’m lazy. Unlearned. Perhaps it wants...

    iPhone SE (2016) Why can't the iPhone keyboard just be good?

    I use two languages when using my phone: Hungarian and English. In iOS, you have to add both keyboards separately and switch between them when switching languages. Of course I always forget to do this and type half my sentence on the wrong keyboard and it's incredibly annoying as the autocorrect...

    Hello, please help me, this is doing my head in. I have an iPhone 6S running iOS 13.5. I have four keyboards installed including French, with my main language being English. But when I’m typing with the ENGLISH KEYBOARD, my English words get autocorrected into French. Present—> présent, realise...

    Emoji Search uses AutoCorrect

    Not sure if this is a bug or by design, but when using Emoji Search, iOS seems to invisibly apply AutoCorrect to what you've typed. For example, if I start typing "Easter" and get as far as "Easte", rather than show every emoji that might start with "Easte", the search function seems to decide...

    AUTO CORRECT NOT WORKING

    Earlier this week, my auto correct stopped working. In particular any word that had punctuation in it like it's, I'm and don't didn't automatically add the punctuation. I went into the settings for this feature, unchecked everything, then shut my iPad down. I turned it back on again and...

    QuickType and Autocorrect on iOS12

    I am not sure if it's just me but I feel that QuickType and Autocorrect have been awful for the past few versions of iOS, maybe since they started implementing heavy Machine Learning algorithms to predict what the user is trying to type. As a person that switches between languages many times a...

    New weird autocorrect bug

    Is anyone experiencing the word "it" autocorrecting to "I.T" every time? Similar to the infamous "I" autocorrect from a couple weeks ago, this is happening more and more with my friends and family, as well as myself. Just wondering!

    My phone is changing the letter after “H” to random symbols?

    The other day my phone started changing the letter after “H” to random symbols. For example: I️ is what happened when that letter was typed. Any insight would be great. I’ve tried a factory reset and updated it. The letter works fine when it’s in other words. Thanks!

    Universal autocorrect?

    Hello, I've set up autocorrect, checked 'correct spelling automatically' in the Settings, and made sure I've checked 'check spelling while typing' in the apps I use. However, autocorrect still doesn't work, especially on facebook. Is there a way to force autocorrect to work universally? Thanks!

    Autocorrecting one character

    Hello! My iPhone has been doing this really annoying autocorrect for some time and I can't get it to stop.... it autocorrects my ampersands (&) to have an additional character after it. For instance, when I type "macaroni & cheese", it autocorrects it to "macaroni &a cheese" or "macaroni &I...

    So you can't autocorrect "****" to "****" anymore.

    I guess Apple just wants me to type "Duck" or "Fucj" every time. Is this a global thing? You can't type the same phrase as a shortcut? Pretty stupid, Apple. yet another pointless iOS 10 "Feature"
