Auto correct keeps changing my name from Bish to bush. So aggravating! Make it stop!

How does one go about getting auto correct to stop changing a word? My name is Bish and autocorrect ALWAYS changes it to bush. Driving my wife nuts when texting!

Hello Photothug 2,


That's a fantastic question! If you would like to continue using Auto-Correction, you can set up a text replacement when typing your name to help ensure it isn't being changed to the incorrect spelling. The steps for setting up text replacement are listed below and can be found in the following article.


"To manage text replacement, tap Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. 

  • To add a text replacement, tap the Add button plus icon, then enter your phrase and shortcut. When you're done, tap Save. 
  • To remove a text replacement, tap Edit, tap the Remove button  then tap Delete. To save your changes, tap Done."


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


If you want to disable Auto-Correction, you can do so in Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap the green toggle next to Auto-Correction. You can also provide feedback to Apple regarding Auto-Correction via the Product Feedback website.


Take care!
