Auto-Correction is changing my words incorrectly after iOS 18 update on iPhone

Ok

I think I found a solution! Go to settings, then general, then dictionary, and uncheck “Apple Dictionary.”

Autocorrect is no longer suggesting every typo I’ve ever made! This worked on my new 9th Gen iPad iOS 17.3.1 and iPhone 16 Plus iOS 18.0.1.

Hope this helps!

This is broken to the point where it should be a matter of profound shame to Apple. Alongside Siri's utter inability to understand even basic verbal commands on homepods. The ability to interact with your device is the ground floor, most basic need for any technology and Apple are utterly failing on this.

There are a number of fixes mentioned below that might help (a bit) but the best solution is to simply use a different keyboard on your phone. Specifically Gboard. The interface isn't quite as clean and stickers aren't the same but you can switch between keyboards easily enough where necessary.

And so far Gboard hasn't tried to change 'thanks' to 'Thaki's' or tomorrow to 'Romeo's' or 'and' to 'ANDY'

Blood boilingly awful issue and in an era of AI one which shouldn't even be on the radar.

In a Reddit post, I read that turning off the APPLE DICTIONARY will eliminate the maddening autocorrect behaviors. Apparently, it’s some kind of AI-related “glitch” that they stupidly & inconsiderately unleashed upon the public.

I’ve done this, and it worked—today was Day 1 with it turned off, and I feel normal again—

To turn it off, go to Settings > General > Dictionary > Uncheck “Apple Dictionary” (go down the list, and you’ll see it checked)
