How To Fix AutoCorrect Issue

It looks like Apple has a new iOS 11 autocorrect issue on its hands.

Apple recently fixed the annoying iOS 11 autocorrect issue where the letter “i” would autocorrect to a capital “A” with a rectangle and a question mark.

The company’s iOS 11.1.1 update has completely eliminated this bug, but hundreds of iOS 11 users are now reporting another autocorrect issue that changes “it” to “this”.

So…..@Apple fixed the “I” glitch (barely) and now when I try to type “it” I get “I.T” ………..please make it stop. ????

We have not noticed the issue on any of our devices running iOS 11.1.2, but it may be a matter of time before our devices and yours are infected with this bug.

Fortunately, you don’t have to wait for Apple’s next iOS 11 update to fix the problem. You can manually fix the problem in a few easy steps.

In this guide, we will show you how to fix the autocorrect issue in seconds. It’s unclear whether Apple’s iOS 11.2 update will offer a permanent fix, so this is your only solution at the moment.

First, go to your device’s Settings. Tap the Settings app and tap the General tab to open your device’s Settings.

Tap Keyboard from General. Once in this menu tap on Text Replacement. It’s in the new menu, in the upper right corner.

This will open a new menu with “Phrase” and “Shortcut” input options. In both the Phrase and Shortcut fields, the . Tap Save.

This workaround fixed the issue for some users, although some iPhone and iPad users said the problem returned after doing these steps.

If you’re having trouble using the iOS keyboard without predictive text and AutoCorrect, here’s another workaround to try before Apple’s next iOS update.

Go back to Settings and General. Tap Keyboard. While in this menu, the . It’s under the “All Keyboards” section. Next, . It is located under the “English” section.

Apple quickly released a fix for the “i” autocorrect issues, so we expect the company to issue a fix for this issue in the near future.

As of now, the only known update in Apple’s pipeline is the iOS 11.2 milestone update. iOS 11.2 is set to offer a nice list of bug fixes, patches, and new features, including the company’s Apple Pay Cash platform.

If we’re lucky, it will also come with a fix for this new, and rather embarrassing, autocorrect issue.
