Hi stacyfromnew york,


​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. We see you're running into some issues with autocorrect, and we have a step that might help.


You may be able to clear this up by resetting your keyboard. While the reset will only restore your keyboard settings and dictionary to defaults, we always recommend backing up beforehand: Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Then, tap Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. After the reset, see if the same thing happens.


Take care.
