Inaccurate QuickPath corrections

When using QuickPath I find swiping 'mum' always corrects to "mum's".


I have tried turning off Auto-correction, Check spelling, and, Predictive, collectively, or individually, then restarting the phone. Also, adding "mum's" to the text replacement function hasn't resolved this either.


Software 15.1.1


Can anyone offer any suggestions please, before I try and book an online personal session, thanks.

Hello BeBopAJulia,



We see you have a question regarding QuickPath, and we'd be happy to help.


There is some helpful info on that here: Type with the onscreen keyboard on iPhone

As the page will help note, "As you slide to type, you see suggested alternatives to the word you’re entering, rather than predictions for your next word."

You may also try using the suggestions there for editing, undoing edits, etc.


We also note there's a newer iOS version available with further fixes and improvements. The latest version is currently iOS 15.2.1: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


You can also try resetting the keyboard dictionary at Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary.


Cheers.
