Is this another iOS 17 bug? Autocorrect used to be quite accurate. Now it’s not nearly as good at guessing what I intended to enter. Also trying to tap to insert the cursor, 90% of the time selects a word and won’t quit, just selects it over and over. I have to go down to the spacebar and situate the cursor that way.
iPhone 11
So many people cannot be wrong. I noticed the issue in iOS 14 and it has gotten progressively worse. 17’s autocorrect almost makes me want to turn it off. It’s as if it has forgotten all previous words I have used. If I get to the point where I have to turn it off. I’m going Android. It’s not any better but they don’t charge a premium price claiming to be better.

So do you have an actual solution or would you just like the people having the issue to stop discussing it?
This is definitely an issue which appeared with the latest update. Three reasons 1) issue appeared right after updating , 2) the same issue happened on a family member’s phone around the same time, 3) the issue is happening in different languages. It is so terrible that suggestions are proposing words that don’t even exist or which are grammatically incorrect. Over to you Apple to fix this, otherwise we are all better off turning off autocorrect.
It is happening now at this moment
Correct. I’m blaming iOS 17 because that’s when autocorrect changed. I did not change settings. It’s just as the ”don’t read—>dinner ready” writer wrote, which you linked to. It didn’t used to randomly make its own story. Now it does.
Are you saying iOS 17 randomly changes settings?
This is not a solution… we know how to toggle auto-correct and such on and off, what we need is for the auto-correct not to replace one word with a completely different word for no reason. Do you actually have a solution to that problem?
iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Autocorrect issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
This seems purely coincidental so please check the Setting on your device. How to use Auto-Correction and predictive text on your ...
See what each update does: About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...
You are blaming iOS 17 without checking the settings on your device similar to people with lower iOS version, a few links here where people did the same as you.
iOS 16
iOS 15
Apple autocorrect
1) insert "n" between any words your AI wants. and connect the words....
2) insert a "." When you are in the mood to do so.
3) never allow "you" - correct it with "tou" everytime! RULE!!
4) never allow a user not to use autocorrect ot the texts will be scrambled to oblivion!
Well no? Considering how many people are complaining about this? As I'm typing right now it is horrible
Autocorrect has gone sloppy
