Go top Settings > General > Keyboard and turn off Auto-Correction, Predictive, and any other options there that you don't want.

iPhone deletes email message before it is opened. I use Apple Mail on my iPhone and on a new MacBookAir. Since I got the MacBookAir last week and migrated everything from the old computer, emails arrive on the phone and I can see the name of the sender and the title of the message - but they disappear before I can read them. OR if I open them fast enough and read them, the message disappears shortly thereafter - and definitely as soon as a new message comes in. The disappearing messages do not go to either trash or junk on my phone. The email messages arrive and stay on the laptop, as usual. I have reviewed all the settings on my phone, but do not see any obvious issues. Please help. Thanks!

iOS 17.3.1 no longer can edit text messages I downloaded the iOS 17.3.1 update last night and as of this morning I can no longer edit my text messages. I checked all my settings and nothing has changed and I am texting between Apple iPhone users. Why did Apple take this option away?
