When I write some names in emails on my iPad they get changed

When I write some names in emails on my iPad they get changed, eg Robin gets changed to Robinson and if I sign off with just my initial, it gets changed to an unrelated word starting with the same letter. Very irritating!

I understand your frustration with the automatic changes happening in your emails on your iPad. It looks like the autocorrect feature might be causing these unintended alterations. To address this issue, you can try adjusting your device's autocorrect settings.


Here's a general guide on how to do it:


  1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPad.
  2. Scroll down and tap on "General."
  3. Select "Keyboard."
  4. Look for the "Text Replacement" or "Auto-Correction" option.
  5. If you find the incorrect substitutions in the list, you can either edit them or delete them.


Additionally, you may want to check for any personalized shortcuts that might be causing these changes. Here's how:


  1. Go back to the "Keyboard" settings.
  2. Tap on "Text Replacement."
  3. Review the list of shortcuts, and make sure there are no unintended replacements.

By adjusting these settings, you should have more control over how your names and initials appear in your emails. If the issue persists, it might be worth reaching out to the Apple Store for more personalized assistance.
