With IOS 17, spellcheck constantly suggests words that are misspelled or that don’t exist for basic words that are often spelled properly. It’s completely dysfunctional.
iPhone 8, iOS 12
More importantly, IOS 17 is constantly trying to auto-correct words that are spelled correctly with weird words that don't exist or completely different words. There's nothing wrong with the words I'm texting but they get highlighted and suggestions made to change them.
I figured it out. I am bad at typing, so it’s suggesting typos.
It’s garbage I’m sick of it’s getting worse absolutely awful !
Found this thread and tried that today but (at least on my phone) that is not a toggle option.
I already have the predictive text toggled off, but nothing seems to exist to disable the weird non-sense words in the bubbles with the back arrow.
This whole issue has been happening since the beginning of iOS 17.
I have entered a bug report as well.
To get rid of those silly balloons with misspelled words, turn off “Show Predictions Inline”.
General -> Keyboards -> toggle off “Show Predictions Inline”.
It is impossible to use spell check. Fix this Apple!!!
SAME!!! It’s driving me crazy, never happened until I upgraded to iPhone 15, guessing it’s an iOS issue?!?
It may be the most annoying bug yet. It has me questioning my self and then suggests letters smushed together. It’s a time waster and I hope they fix it soon.

“Thanks. That is helpful. There were complaints on other platforms when I searched on Google. Prior to this release I have never had any issues. Thanks again.”

You are welcome.
Remember to report this to Apple.
Excellent job troubleshooting!

“Thanks for the suggestion. I made a Bug Report. No improvement and I spell horribly.”

Type with Effort:
When messaging, note that you’re not typing an essay here. But be careful of what you type along with that character you leave out. Texted my boss the other week about shifts and tapped “losers”, instead of “closers” (left out the “c” in closers). Interesting how leaving out a letter can make the post come me across the wrong way.
My best guess: The AI knows how often we misspell words so it's now recommending them as though they are real. I have not seen any effective way of stopping it other than turning off literally everything aside from a naked keyboard.
This tip helped me (and it wasn’t remembering my misspelled words- crazy goggily-guk suggestions!)

“Apple's feedback is the waste thing you can do, sending feedback to the dumbest people on the planet. I reported so many things, they never even look at it.”

Sorry to hear that. Give them feedback about feedback, I guess. No one here works for Apple.
And it highlights words blue when you’re trying to make a correction between words. You end up having to delete the highlighted words and retype them to make corrections to sentences. What is going on over at Apple. They have long since peaked and I can’t figure out how they would let these issues persist.
I hate that sticky, useless feature as well! And it’s happening right now as I type this. Ouff!
Try going into settings, general, keyboards, and turning off “predictive”.
I just did that and it helped in composing an email, but here in this window it is still manifesting!
aargh Apple!
they intentionally providing faulty product so as you are forced to correct it they train their AI on the backs of costumers. Apple is a predatory company with elegant gadgets.
I hope it turns out like the battery /throttling debacle
Why is spellcheck constantly suggesting misspelled words?
