Predictive text problem
When typing on my iPhone, it adds an A after acronyms before the next word consistently. How can I stop this? Been going on for months; I’ve no idea how it started.

FYI - I had a similar problem with predictive text and found this suggestion which appears to have worked. Wiped out all custom predictions but better than the wrong one continually showing up:
Four Steps to Reset/Clear keyboard History on iPhone, iPad
Good Luck!

Hey there Fencersmom,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having some issues with predictive text. We're happy to provide some assistance.
Check out this helpful resource:

In that article, you will see the option to turn off predictive text or you can set up text replacements if there is an acronym that you're using constantly. If you want to provide feedback on predictive text or if there is an option or feature you would like to see in the future, you can submit feedback to Apple here:
We hope this helps.
Have a great day!
Thanks for the response, but it isn’t helpful for me. I do not want to turn off predictive text and the A addition happens with all acronyms. How can I turn off the addition of an A following acronyms?
Thanks to bondimax. Your suggestion worked. 😀
