Apostrophe autocorrect

Season’s greetings community!


Has anyone else noticed that their phone’s autocorrect function has all of a sudden forgot that apostrophe words exist?


When I used to type in ‘youre’ that would be autocorrected to ‘you’re’.

‘youll’ to ‘you’ll’

‘youve’ to ‘you’ve’

and so on...


Now it just leaves the word as I’ve typed it or gives me a completely different word / pair of words.


no one else has been using my phone, so it’s not like they’ve taught it bad spelling habits??
