Whenever I try to swipe the word “Can”, it gives me “can’t”.

Pretty much what it says. I have an iPhone 15 and ever since I’ve updated iOS, when I try to swipe the word “can“ it outputs the word “can’t“. Is there any workaround with this? I’ve tried text replacement, but that doesn’t seem to help.

Text edit glitches in IPhone 11Pro IOS 18.1.1 Hi, Whenever I try to edit a text message, The cursor won’t appear where I click on the message to edit. It jumps from where I’m trying to edit to another line entirely and sometimes the cursor lands in the middle of a completely different word. It makes editing any text messages so frustrating and time consuming. I do have my font set bigger. Could that be the problem? If so, please fix it!

It just began two or three months ago on my SE 13 3rd generation iPhone.

I’ve tried both adding a rule to my Text Replacement list, and when that didn’t work I removed it. Currently it does not appear in there.
