iOS 5 Auto-correct

[BBD90]

Can you add stuff to it? I like using it since it helps me type fast but it constantly changes "yo" to "to" even though I added it to my shortcut phrases in the keyboard settings.

You can add your own shortcuts. I added one that will change tow to tomorrow. You could try adding one that simply changes yo to yo.

I did that exact thing but when I am texting it still turns "yo" to "to" despite having a shortcut to turn "yo" to "yo."

I dont want to turn it off, I like it for the most part but certain words are annoying lol

The dictionary it uses obviously doesn't contain slang words. The solution is to backspace over the "o" in "yo" and retype it but that will slow you down. It's that, or turn off the correction feature.

Making a shortcut to turn yo to.... yo does not work as I thought that would solve. Works for other words (including 'naughty' ones).

(Edited to undo my poor advice)

Just wanted to post that "Yo" is no longer turning into "to," I don't know how it just started working.

As far as I know, auto-correct "learns" your words over time. You just have to go through the hell of retyping the word a couple times.

Don't think so. I've been uncorrecting several frequently used words for over a year now.

It will learn, you just need to consistently spell the same words.

Well I've been typing 'sched' and uncorrecting it from 'ached' forever with no apparent end in sight...
