Random edits in Messages If I type a long message in Messages and then edit it by inserting a word or phrase, Messages *sometimes* starts cutting off random words in my text and replacing them with apostrophes. Sometimes it also inserts words from one part of my text into another part of the text. This only happens in Messages and not in any other apps. It happens inconsistently and I can't always replicate it. I had this same problem on an earlier computer and operating system, and had hoped that upgrading would help, but it did not. I found another thread on this same topic, describing exactly the situation I am dealing with (scrambled messages on MacBook Pro - Apple Community) but no solutions. Has anyone who has experienced this found a solution?

Issue with Text Encoding When Copying from ChatGPT to Apple Pages on iPad Pro Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to report an issue related to text encoding when copying and pasting text from ChatGPT into Apple Pages on iPad Pro 2024. While pasting text from websites or other sources works correctly, text copied directly from ChatGPT appears with encoding errors, replacing certain characters with unexpected symbols. Issue Description: • When pasting text from ChatGPT, certain characters—such as apostrophes (‘), quotation marks (“”), dashes (–), and accented letters (ā, ē, š, ķ, ž, etc.)—are replaced by incorrect symbols (e.g., â€™ instead of an apostrophe). • The same issue does not occur when copying from websites or other sources—only from ChatGPT. • This suggests that Apple Pages is misinterpreting the encoding of copied text from ChatGPT, possibly treating it as Windows-1252 or another incompatible format instead of UTF-8. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy any text from ChatGPT. 2. Paste it into Apple Pages on iPad Pro 2024. 3. Observe that certain characters appear incorrectly encoded. Troubleshooting Attempts: ✔ Used “Paste Without Formatting” – issue persists. ✔ Copied text via Apple Notes or Google Docs before pasting into Pages – works correctly, but is not a convenient long-term solution. ✔ Changed fonts within Pages (Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman) – no improvement. ✔ Verified language settings in Pages (set to English UK) – issue persists. Possible Cause: It seems that Pages is not properly recognizing the UTF-8 encodingof text copied from ChatGPT, leading to misinterpretation of special characters. This issue does not occur when copying from websites, which suggests that Pages is handling text encoding inconsistently depending on the source. Request for Investigation and Fix: 🔹 Ensure that Apple Pages correctly interprets UTF-8 text encodingfrom all sources, including ChatGPT. 🔹 Provide an option for “Paste as Plain Text” in iPadOS Pages, similar to the “Paste and Match Style” feature available on macOS. 🔹 If encoding conflicts arise, consider adding an option for users to manually select the encoding format when pasting text. This issue significantly impacts usability for users who frequently copy and paste text from AI-generated sources like ChatGPT into Apple Pages. A fix or workaround would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response. Best regards, Eduards.
