The autocorrect/spelling on my iPad is not replacing/deleting incorrect words. Ie, if I type cate instead of cat autocorrect replaces like this: cate cat (the incorrect word ‘cate’ is still there AND the correctly spelt word ‘cat’). This is particularly noticeable on Facebook. Anyone know of a fix? Thanks.
iPad, iOS 12
Hello,
Lets try this, toggle Auto-Correct off in Settings -> General -> Keyboard. Then restart your iPad by holding the Sleep/Wake button until “Slide to power off..” appears. Whenever the device shuts off press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. Once your device turns back on re-enable Auto-Correct in Settings -> General -> Keyboard.

Hello,
About the only other thing you can do is to try restoring your iPad with iTunes on a Macintosh or Windows PC. It sounds like something isn’t working with the QuickType keyboard.
Hello,
Please verify that Auto-Correct is enabled in Settings -> General -> Keyboard.
Hello,
Are you noticing Auto-Correct not working when using the on-screen keyboard or a connected hardware keyboard?
Hi, the on-screen keyboard.
Yes it is. It corrects but does not replace/delete the misspelt word, so I am left with a bunch of spelling mistakes as well as the correct ones and have to go back and delete all the wrong ones!
Sorry for delay. Thank you for suggestion but it did not work.
