When typing texts, more often than not I type abs instead - it’s getting kind of annoying now. Is there any way I can make it not keep doing that - get it to correct it for me? I can’t think of many times I actually want to write abs.
This was happening to me too! Driving me absolutely insane.
I know this sounds extremely simple, but I went into settings, general, keyboard, and simply turned off the “auto correct” option and turned it back on. For some reason resetting it fixed the issue. 🤷🏻♀️
Hey,
I have been having this problem too. I went into the keyboard settings, and into text replacement. The idea being you can type shorthand and the iPhone will put the correct phrase in. E.g you type IDK and I phone puts ‘I don’t know’ I just typed to replace abs with and now even if I type abs, it autocorrects to and anyway.
not a fix but a work around 👍
I have been having this problem too. I liked the idea posted about going into the keyboard settings, and into text replacement. (you can type shorthand and the iPhone will put the correct phrase in. E.g you type omw and I phone puts ‘On my way!’ I just typed) to replace ‘and’ with ‘and’ now and types and!
Apple is not here. this is a user to user forum.
for a work-around, read the thread you posted in.

Oh I literally thought for months that I was doing something wrong but it is actually driving me insane! So many messages are going out with abs instead on and. Surely the word ‘and’ gets used way more than ‘abs’ so why is it autocorrecting it. Apple please sort this out
see i was gonna do that, text replacement thing but i realised what if you were trying to type in “abs” on purpose for your sentence and it just corrects into “and” all the time wouldn’t you get frustrated because this time u actually needed the word “abs”
I was worried about using this workaround for that very reason, but ultimately I very rarely use the word abs intentionally (and I’m very much into my fitness) and very frequently use the word ‘and’ so it’s a worthwhile change.
Thanks for the tip - it’s working great and that’s made me and my abs very happy.
I’m having the same problem abs your advice didn’t work abs it’s still doing it abs so can you correct this
Thank goodness I finally found this, it’s been driving me nuts, and found the text replacement function but set it up wrong 🤣🤣🤣 now I have it. No more random abs. Thankyou.
This worked! Thanks!
You are an absolute legend!!! And and and and and and and. Not an abs in sight. Yippee!!!!!
keeps correcting abs when mean and
