WHY does ‘X’ Autocorrect to ‘C’ or ‘Z’ I type ‘X’ and it auto corrects to ‘C’ Why? Is there a setting to change this even through I don’t think I should have to. When an automated appointment text comes through and I type ‘X’’ to cancel and a ‘C’ to confirm populates, it’s really frustrating. This “smart” phone should know. better than to change single letters especially when this auto correction has costing me money. (Late cancel fees.) What does Apple done to resolve this?

Can we make autocorrect not change words typed correctly I love autocorrect but recently I've noticed the AI is becoming more and more prone to automatically change words even when i type them correctly. Even more annoying, is the way it doesn't warn you it even plans to change your text until the last letter when you're already confidently tapping your space bar. For example last night “resting” was replaced by “testing”. Im guessing this is an AI picking up on the frequency of the word test and trying to be overly clever by assuming now EVERYONE wants to type testing ALL of the time. Please get rid of this or tell me how to disable.

Hi momjohn,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you would like to change words that are being autocorrected on your iPhone.

Your iPhone can learn words and spelling by repetition, correction or misspelling. You can remove these words by the same techniques. We see you've previously reviewed How to use Auto-Correction and predictive text on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch which has some great tips.

Take care.
