With the latest update, when I get a business’s text message to enter Y to confirm an appointment and I type Y, the Y I type keeps getting replaced by a T with autocorrect. I looked in my phone’s text replacement settings and don’t see anything in there for replacing the letter Y with the letter T. I don’t want to turn off autocorrect altogether but this is really annoying. Anyone know what’s going on and how to fix it?

Hello Nonamesavailable12,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that Auto-Correction isn't working as expected on your iPhone, and we'd like to provide you with support.
First, do you have multiple keyboards installed on your iPhone? If so, try removing them, then adding them back. This step can sometimes refresh those installed keyboards.

Also, force quitting the Messages app and restarting your iPhone sound simple, but these steps can also resolve some unique issues.

From there, check to see if setting up a text replacement for the letter "Y" helps you get the desired result.

We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
Rebooting might have solved the problem. I haven't had much opportunity to retest, as I don't really get that many texts that I would respond "Y" to, but the one time I tried again after rebooting, it did not autocorrect.
Nonamesavailable12,
Thanks for getting back in touch with us after reviewing the steps we shared above. We’re happy to hear your issue has been resolved.
Have a great rest of your day or evening.
