Autocorrect continues to replace “good” with “hood”

Has anyone found a fix for this? I am using iPhone 13, fully updated 15.3.1 and have replaced keystrokes hood with good- but nothing works. I even self-corrected 50 times on the word choice above the keypad. still nothing!


Was this some maniacal word demon who works for Apple and decided to play a prank on all iPhone users, just because he could?!


lots of people are still complaining about this. Has no one found a fix?


thx.

Hello rswc90,


Thanks for reaching out to us in Apple Support Communities about auto correct replacing words incorrectly. We're happy to help by looking into this more! 


The following support article provides some troubleshooting steps to try for this behavior:


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


Specifically, check out the section labeled "Set up text replacement" to make sure you have not inadvertently set this replacement.


Hope this helps.


Best Regards.

rswc90,


The suggestions was not for you disable the feature, it was so you could check and make sure a specific text replacement has not been set up for these 2 specific words. If you go to the section as explained in the previous post, you will see all the text replacements you have set up.


Hope this helps.


Best Regards.

This was a temporary fix. There are so many comments and nobody from Apple has come up with a solution.


I have tried the temporary fix again and it only worked the first time. After that, Hood seems to be the option that auto correct uses and that predictive words select. This Hass to be a stupid joke that somebody intentionally planted. But April fools, April 1, hasn’t come around this year yet!


Looking forward to some real solution that will last! Thank you all for the comments.
