plural vs possessive

How can we get Apple products in general, and all iphones, to stop autocorrecting plural proper nouns to possessive. Here is an example: "I meet with the Smiths on Sundays." On my phone, it would autocorrect to Smith's and Sunday's. I see it everywhere now and I know people are seeing it change to possessive on their phones. if I could give a gift to the world, it would be this.

  • Then, tap on the "Reset" option.
  • Under the "Reset" menu, tap on "Reset Keyboard Dictionary".
  • You will be asked to type your passcode, then tap on "Reset Dictionary" again.


You can also adjust your keyboard settings by:
