Everytime I type "20", my iPhone auto-corrects this to "2.0"

Everytime I type "20", my iphone auto-corrects this to "2.0". How do I fix this? Doesn't seem to be in the text replacement section. Thanks!

Under Settings - General - Keyboard - Text Replacement - "+" - Phrase [insert] 20 - Shortcut [insert] 20

Creating a text replacement so that when I type in 20 it triggers shortcut to "20" resolved the autocorrect from 20 to 2.0.

I have had this same issue as Sielbear . I too have the TC 2.0 app. I have found out if you follow the instructions given by ZenAnon :

FIX: Go into Settings > General > Text Replacement

Add "20" for Phrase and "20" for Shortcut.


But put a space after the 20 in the phrase portion. I now can type 20 without it changing to 2.0! Hope this helps anyone who cant delete the 2.0 apps on their phone!

Hello bomber991


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand you're having some issues with autocorrect on your iPhone and we'd like to help.


You can correct a word that continues to misspelled the same way that your iPhone learns it. Type the word that you want to use, then select the correct spelling above your keyboard.


You can also reset the keyboard dictionary. If you're having trouble with a large number of terms besides the one you mentioned, this could be the quickest way to fix them all at once. Only the words you've modified are removed when you reset the keyboard dictionary. On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary or by following the steps next to the bullet point "Reset Keyboard Dictionary" in Return iPhone settings to their defaults. Back up your iPhone settings before restoring them to their defaults if you want to save them. If restoring settings to their defaults doesn't solve the issue, you might want to restore your previous settings from a backup.


Have a great day!
