Autocorrect changing words in paragraph when posting/sending

I am having issues with my autocorrect changing words in paragraphs when I hit send. E.g. my text stated “the medicine cabinet is empty.” And the post became “the medicine company is empty”. It is happening with many different words.


How can I prevent this without having to turn off autocorrect completely?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hi misconstrue,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand autocorrect is changing your words when sending texts, and we'd like to assist. Does this issue occur with all apps or only Messages? Are you updated to the latest version of iOS, 14.4.2? Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Also, do you currently have any words or phrases set up in text replacement?
