Edit iPhone auto-correct
my iPhone auto-correct function has learned to correct "and" to "abs". everytime I want to type "and" it automatically changes it to "abs". how can I fix that?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9
Thanks. This worked for me too
Question marked as
This isn’t a text replacement things but an apple thing, likely with one of the 14.x updates.
To work around it (which we shouldn’t have to) you need to put in to the text replacement the word “and” to be replaced with “and”.
this is 100% an issue with the local dictionary, similar to how the devices screwed up the phone numbers after a 14.x update.

I’ve tried the above but it’s still coming up with abs instead of and. It is so d
frustrating. Any other ideas how to fix it please?
Thank you. This was driving me insane !!!
Awesome it worked! While I was at it I also changed **** from duck 😂😂
Thank you! I no longer have this issue which was driving me crazy!
Me as well. It has to be a mistake in the Apple code because I can’t get rid of “abs” to save my soul! Help!
I tried it in reverse and it worked. Thank you!
I’ve tried these replacements, both and for abs as well as and for and, and it STILL changes it. Help!!!
Thank you for sharing this. Finally I don’t look like a moron when I send text messages
Thanks so much. I followed this and it worked and I can now type and again 😊
I’ve tried the shortcut replacement for abs, abs, and AND, but now changes and to ans!
Did this and it fixed it on my phone.
Did these two according to other’s and it worked for me.
It didn’t work for me either. I created the phrase and shortcut with “and” but abs takes over it. Ugggg. I didn’t have this problem with my old phone. Annoying ....
Are you sure you did it this way? It worked for me.
