Hi Brucenewnh,


We understand you'd like the word "we'll" to be spelled as "well" without being autocorrected. We're happy to offer some guidance.


There's two things you can do:


In Settings > General > Keyboard, you can turn off the Auto-Correction option.


Or, if you'd still like Auto-Correction to work for other words, you can set up a Text Replacement. On the Text Replacement page just select + at the top right to add a new item, then in both the Phrase and Shortcut field enter "well", then hit Save at the top right.


How to use Auto-Correction and predictive text on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Hope this helps. Cheers!
