Why does ‘you’ keep autocorrecting to ‘your’

Ever since the IOS 15 update, if I write “thank you” it keeps auto correcting to “thank your” or I’ll ask “have you…” and it will update to “have your” it makes no sense. It will prioritise your over you on so many of my sentences??

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

Did you ever fix this?

Same was happening for me. Drove me bonkers - you wrote exactly my feeelings! Restarting didn’t help.


I went to settings —>keyboard—>text replacement and created a new item:


phrase: you

Shortcut: you


It didn’t fully work until I also added:

phrase: your

shortcut: your


Hope that helps!

Hey NazRahi,


It sounds like auto-correction is correcting words wrong after you updated your iPhone 11 Pro Max to iOS 15. Does this continue with any app you use? Does toggling Auto-Correction off and on again help? If needed, you can do that in Settings > General > Keyboard.


Also, does the issue continue after restarting your iPhone? Restart your iPhone It can seem like a simple step, but it can sometimes resolve issues. Your answers can help us determine possible next steps.


Take care.

Same issue for me. I end up with "your" instead of "you" constantly. If I type in "you" and hit space it won't change to your but "your" is showing as the predictive text as I am typing. Where I end up with "your" is when I mistype "you" then it autocorrects to your instead of you. It is frustrating as this did not happen before mid-2021.
