“BBC” inserts in text message

When I’m creating a text message “BBC” gets inserted into the text when I am typing.

Below is an example of a text I sent without realizing the “BBC” was in the message.

Hi there BBC-texting,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are having an issue with your keyboard while texting. Does it seem like it is changing a certain thing you are typing to BBC? Do you use predictive text on your iPhone? Do you notice that BBC is showing in your predictive text, if so? Learn how to check here: How to use Auto-Correction and predictive text on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Check for any text replacements on your device. If the issue continues, you can reset your personal dictionary. Find out how here: Save keystrokes with text replacements on iPhone.


We hope this helps!

I know multiple people who are having this issue. And there are multiple threads in online forums. Why does Apple keep giving the reply above that doesnt address the issue? It is not autocorrect OR predictive text. it just shows up in random places for no reason. it is a weekly if not daily issue. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

Did you check text replacements as suggested above?
