Keyboard keeps autocorrecting to German?

My autocorrect is constantly trying to correct every word to something German and I don’t know how to get it to stop. I don’t have the German keyboard on, I don’t have the dictionary for that language on (only English with both), and I never type anything in German. I’ve hard reset my keyboard multiple times and it seems to be happening more frequently.

iPhone 12 Pro

Hello ttm-goose,


For this issue, we'd recommend checking the languages used in the following settings on your iPhone in order to try to solve this:


  1. Go to the Settings app.
  2. Tap on General
  3. Tap on Language & Region
  4. Make sure German isn't under the section, 'Preferred Languages'.


  1. Go to the Settings app.
  2. Tap on Siri & Search
  3. Tap on Language
  4. Make sure no German options are selected here.


You also could try disabling autocorrect, then enable it again to test it out:


  1. Go to the Settings app.
  2. Tap on General
  3. Tap on Keyboards
  4. Disable Autocorrect
  5. Restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
  6. Enable Autocorrect


If you continue to have this issue, then it may be best to contact Apple directly: Apple Support


They'll need to take it from here.


Wishing you well, take care.
