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.

Guess what!? I had the same problem, found this post, then my husband figured out a work around without deleting the app, it's not perfect but it works- (Apple PLEASE FIX) Go to your shortcuts and Text Replacement put 02 in shortcut and 2.0 in phrase. Again, it's not perfect cuz now you have to remember to put 02 instead of 20..... but... Alternatively you can turn off Predictive...

I can’t believe it, but that is absolutely why 25 is autocorrecting to 2.5 for me—I have an app that has 2.5 in the title. Unfortunately, I need to keep the app installed for work, so I can’t delete it. This is a ridiculous bug and Apple needs to fix this ASAP. Numbers should NEVER autocorrect. And while they’re at it, they should add an obviously needed feature to the autocorrect dictionary: let us edit the autocorrect dictionary on our phone without resetting the entire thing! I want to erase the occasional errors that my phone learns while still retaining the helpful words and phrases it’s learned to correct.

In regards to the auto correct for “10” to “1.0”, etc. you do not have to fully delete the app, but in the general tab under apps, find the app that is causing the problem such as “walkers 1.0” tap on it and Turn off the “learn from”, “show app in search” and “show content in search” functions. This will work to fix the autocorrect and keep the app.
