Are you in the UK?

UK UK UK 💪🏼😂
 
I'm not in the UK but my language and region is English / UK.

Dictation works fine for me. Saying "full stop" just does the period.

Have you used dictation for a while because it takes time for this bug to manifest. A friend of mine, also in the UK, uses dictation a lot and has the identical problem. It used to actually type in the word paragraph rather than “do“ a paragraph so Apple have clearly worked hard on, rather than fixing it, changing its behaviour

This might be a long shot, but have you tried resetting the keyboard/dictionary settings? If I had to guess, this is where the dictation library is controlled at. Since it is supposed to "learn" what we type, maybe just a nice reset will fix it?

Thanks for the suggestion, but yes everything has been reset including the phone. Even when predictive text, AutoCorrect etc is turned off it still does it.

And as I say a friend of mine has the exact problem. And that paragraph above there has been added automatically.

To add: thought I would try on my iPad and initially it didn’t do it. But after I completed the text below it started to do it on that very last sentence. The two paragraphs beforehand are indeed correct and I use the word “new paragraph“ and the one I didnt ask for was between ‘wonder what else I could try’ and ‘Now its done it…’

I don’t think words exist to describe my absolute hatred of Apple. They clearly now write some of the most sh** software ever to existed. They cannot and will not fix these bugs. I really don’t know what else I am now meant to do. Why does it not do it on the iPad, only on the iPhone? What is going on there. This is absolutely weird. I wonder if it’s because I don’t use the iPad for much dictation. But you would think resetting the settings on the phone would stop it from happening again. I don’t know what to say now.

Should I just keep talking. Are all the AutoCorrect settings turned on.

This is behaving exactly as it should do. I wonder what else I could try.

Now it’s done it. That took all of two minutes.

If you are able, I would ask Apple, never know. It sounds odd. The only thing I can think of as to why it does not do this on the ipad is directly related to the "machine learning" function. I don't think that it is supposed to do this but your phone is thinking you probably want it to behave this way. That is the only thing I can think of. It is definitely odd. With that said, a full reset of the phone should have cleared it up right away if that was the issue.

As I say, already raised it with Apple multiple times. Must’ve had between 40 and 50 phone calls, remote sessions, video and picture uploads over the space of six months. Full resets, set up from new all end up with the same problem. And as edited in my previous post, it now happens on my iPad as well.

By any chance, can you reproduce it on a device not tied to your appleID? Maybe something is "following" the account and devices associated with it. I have seen some computer issues that seemed to follow a user on any device because it was something in their account/profile.

I had wondered that myself. When the new iPhone 13 comes out I’m going to set up my current iPhone 12 pro max as new without signing in with my Apple ID and see if I can reproduce the issue there.

A few other people on Apple‘s forums have reported the identical issue over the last 12 months with no fix for them so I don’t hold out much hope but really it is the last thing I can try.

Best of luck bud, I wish I am able to help more. That is the only thing I can think of though since a full reset does not fix the issue. Maybe something stored in icloud. Still odd though.
 
Does anyone else have the irritating bug on iPadOS 15 where it just zooms the screen in on itself whilst in an app? It‘s a minor inconvenience but when it’s happening multiple times a day, my patience is wearing thin.
Nope, all good here. 🤔 M1 iPad Pro.
 
Has anyone had there phone get hot and very unresponsive (lags behind touchs for a few seconds)? I installed the beta today and all of a sudden this. Has happened twice today. Seems like it started both times after I plugged it in to charge (iPhone X).
