How do I stop auto correct from changing what I have already seen and wanted typed?

How do I stop auto correct from changing what I have said and seen… Very frustrating.

Hi alanfromdelaware,


Are you saying that you're using dictation to create a response in Messages or Mail, and then what appears on the screen is changing before you send it? Does this happen when you type the message out as well?


If it's only happening with dictation, you may need to wait a few seconds before sending the message to see if any of the words were changed. If they were, changing them back to what you originally wanted will help the machine learning side of iOS prevent these mistakes in the future.


All the best.
