I can’t put my first name in any forms without it changing to “I” !!
Every time I try to fill in an online form it automatically changes my name to “I” . I’ve tried lots of things to stop it but without success.

Hello FTW1960,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand from your post that when filling in an online form and in putting your name it automatically changes to I. I am happy to help you with this.
Have you tried restarting your device since this started? It may seem fairly simple but it can correct the issue.

If a restart doesn't correct the behavior, let's try looking for a text replacement setting. Go to Settings > General > Keyboards > Text Replacement and see if there's an entry there that causes this change. If so, tap "Edit" at the bottom of the screen and delete that entry.
If not, let's try resetting the keyboard dictionary. Keep in mind, this will delete all custom words you have typed on the keyboard, returning the keyboard dictionary to factory defaults. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. Then restart your phone and test.
Keep me posted on your progress.
Have a great day!

Hi there. Thank you so much! I went to the keyboard and there was a shortcut from my name to I. I’ve changed it now.
Thanks again.
