CB appears everywhere when I text

If you go to settings> keyboard and toggle the “slide to type” function to off, should fix it.

when pressing the space bar, if you accidentally slide onto a letter, auto correct tries to change the random letters to a recognisable initial or abbreviation.

hope this helps!

Same for me. It auto updated CB one night and now CB after I hit the CB space CB bar. I’m not deleting the “CB”s in this text. All the “CBs” not in quotations were auto added. FB and vm also appears CB for me as well. About to throw this phone out of the window. Your auto updates are trash. I do nothing but business on my phone and now I have cartoons always popping up and text doesn’t work. Why would a grown man need CB to text cartoons to anyone? Iphone has been downhill since Jobs CB left.

It happens when texting. When sending or replying to messages as you are typing a sentence CB will be inserted within a sentence. Actually as I was typing this FB was inserted before the word message.

Hey wifisummerissues,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It seems like you're having some trouble with the initials "CB", which may also be an issue with the grammar auto-correction feature. First of all, let's check to see if these initials appear in your custom user dictionary: Set up auto-correction and add words to your spelling dictionary in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote - Apple Support. If not, it would be helpful for us to know more about where you're seeing it and when. Is it only happening within a certain app? How about when you're speaking to a certain contact or only as a substitution for a few words? The more you let us know, the more likely we'll be to figure out what's going on.

Cheers!

Mine auto updated. Woke up one morning and couldnt type a text. I just turned off predictive text. It occurs everywhere. Facebook messenger, safari, notes. I think the aggravation of seeing “CB” after the spacebar is better than the aggravation of not having pred text honestly. It was that bad.

CB automatically types when I text, when I comment on Facebook, use messenger, or fill in any form. It usually happens after I end a sentence, but also mid sentence. It tends to happen more with some contacts than others. Then there are times it doesn’t occur at all, like now. Very frustrating. I was sent link to this discussion from friend who is sick m of receiving my jumbled texts. Please reply with a solution.

I have the same problem. I can be texting anyone and when I hit the space bar, it adds CB, some times, not every time. I think it started when I got my X Max. It drives me crazy. Until now no one else seemed to know what I was talking about when I explained it to them. That includes Apple.

I had the same problem with”cb” for the last 6 months bought new 11 pro max updated still had cb come up all the time turned of slide to type and it seemed to stop I’m hopeful for now it drove me nuts!!!

good luck should not have these simple problems with the money we spend on these phones

I will let B this b message m the bin an example of what vin my text messages and emails have vin become. Insertions of random letters and acronyms one m GM, BBC, NBC and so hm on. It’s annoying and literally disturbing what b was already working. Who GM needs to be b like Android?

I used to have the problem with CB appears but got that resolved. Now I am having a problem that when I hit space it puts in the same letter as my last letter used in place of a space. Not all the time but quite often. Anyone else have this problem or know the solution to it?

Mine phone has been doing it all the time too!! After I did an update to my phone. In mid sentence it’ll insert itself whenever. I’ve tried to see when it does or doesn’t. But there’s no similarity as to when.

It drives me crazy, because CB , VW and now more letters appear in my texts I paid a lot of monies for this IPhone 11 and Apple should be helpful with this problem But I guess the Stardom from Apple let them think” WHO CARES”

No more IPhones for my family

You just have to go into settings and turn off the slide text thing. Sorry I’m super not techy. But I googled how to turn it off. I think it’s because we drag our fingers in certain spots. If you don’t want to learn how to drag your finger rather than ‘tap’ each letter, just turn it off. I agree these phones are over priced. But Apple has the best support and warranty. They’re all going to break, nothing lasts as long as it should. But at least Apple will just swap your device out at the store rather than mailing it away like the other guys.

I have CB, CCM and a plethora of acronym like characters that appear at random, in a most unpredictable fashion. It is the most frustrating experience I have encountered. It announces itself in a most uninviting fashion. I have spent hours in cues at Apple Centres, waiting to see techs. That long, that the day, drawers to a close at 5pm, only to be told, we'll schedule you in for an appointment tomorrow. Mind you, I'm some 80kms from the nearest centre. I'm at my ends wit, with constantly having to amend each and every 2nd second sentence I type, sometimes up to three corrections are required. It's a nightmare to say the least. It not only happens in one field, but occurs in facebook, text messaging, ebay messaging and every other field which enables text. Not happy. I echo your annoyance at this most menacing imposition.
