Hey kateyackley,


I see that you're having some trouble with autocorrect working after updating the iPhone. I'll be happy to help.


Are words no longer being corrected? If so, make sure that Auto-Correction is on by following these steps: How to use Auto-Correction and predictive text on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Since Auto-Correction uses words from the dictionary, resetting the dictionary settings may also help with the issue you're having. Do this by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary.


Have a great day.
