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

Resetting keyboard / Resetting phone has t worked.

why should we have to reset anyway its an IOS mis take

Thos Text is embrassing - I will no longer correct my Words on the Apple Forum - I typed them correctly

Ok my first writing with the IOS 18.2 update, lets hope its better? Well the first 3 Words after update are underlinded in red!

This is ridiculas I cant use this for work emails. iPhone might have to go, a yo e a y ideas on whats the best phone now?

let me state that again, anyone any ideas on whats the best phone now? (Predictor Text is a MUST have feature)

How come no-one from Apple is reading through this thread. It's pretty poor that a company of that size and "importance" (should that be self-importance?) with probably some of the best tech wizzes in the world, can't fix this. It's pretty simple, languages, dictionaries, grammar. Spelling checks in all languages, etc. are pretty old school, especially too since it's been better in the past. Ughhhh.

Oh I did contact Apple, and they sent me to their website. Useless. You would think though that they’d have some interest in seeing what people are talking about in these forums, especially ones with negative headings like this one.

same here. I drove insane to the point where my phone slipped out of my hand at 35mph. and now have to deal with a smashed screen and this crap. I dont even want to message any body because a simple text takes 10 minutes to type. Please fix

Jan 1 2025 and I still have no spellcheck for messages and emails. Love how intelligent these engineers are that they cause more problems with every update. I do not get it!!!!! spent 3 weeks unable to open any notes. Finally resolves yesterday!!!!! Really ?

I’m having the same issue with non-english keyboard after my iPhone 15 Pro upgraded from 17.7.1 to 18.2.1. Such a surprise I'm not the one who have this issue. It's driving me crazy. I can't explain why bugs like this happen.

Signing in to finish as weird that this dang autocorrect I’d complete garbage now… it used to be so good and now it’s just a total wreck. Using the same hairs as i used to and more this is what i get. Weirdly it isn’t performing here as bad as it usually does lol *weird (written) with auto correct…

Thanks Level 10 for nothing. There are no “inadvertent” text replacement entries causing this problem. It should have been apparent to you at your high Level 10. But then again….isn’t that how you get to Level 10? Just by posting? And posting and posting and posting…whether it is helpful or not? Please stop. There is more than enough useless noise to deal with already.

ok. you need to do a full factory reset and replace the windows pc at your wife’s office with a macbook pro.

why would you want to have autocorrect work properly anyway, it’s as if you expect the iphone to work as communication advice.

100% it has been in decline for 5 years but with the advent of Ai it’s plummeted … I find it’s now no better than off entirely. What I find interesting is how Apple isn’t aware of this or if it is doesn’t care. Weird 😳

Autocorrect tries to learn- but in a very stupid way. If you used to always do job a, it will keep doing that. If you didn’t then yes it’s really stupid. For example, I type wth a lot but I used to write it like WTH, so it autocorrects to that. I’m sure you can delete history somewhere in settings. Hope this helped.

Same I thought I was going crazy… work software update Apple has ever had. They’re really going downhill. Apple, if it’s not broke don’t fix it, that goes for all the changes made for iOS 18.. change it allllllll back… please listen to the constructive criticism

I don’t know if this is something they can easily rollback or if it’s tech debt or some misguided attempted at “intelligence” but iOS 18’s autocorrect issues are the first time I am considering ditching my iPhone as it’s rendered it nearly unusable.

I don’t see the point. It’s not like Apple will ever acknowledge wide spread bugs - at least not until affected devices are so many that it’s too much reputational risk to continue instructing CS agents to sound surprised and then walk the customer through an hour or more of pointless time wasting steps that then require customer to spend another hour reinstalling apps and sorting out accounts and passwords - heck recent chat support has been characterised by me messaging a shopping list of bugs, cs agent replying asking if it is correct that i have problems with [2 of a half dozen bugs], then they expect me to stay glued to cs messages chat and the moment i put phone down thinking ill pick up the phone and see what further inanity they have in store for me when the text message arrives, I end up getting called away, miss the notification get back five minutes later and they’ve closedown the Customer support ticket saying that they’re glad they were able to solve the problem for me and can I please fill out a survey.

Either that or I’ll explain what the issues are repeatedly, to the point where I start asking them to escalate and put me through to someone who has basic English comprehension & next they’re asking me to please be polite and respectful. As you can imagine when you’re dealing with gaslighter like that, asking them to treat the customer with respect and not to conflate frustration with their employer Apple as being a personal attack goes up like a lead balloon.

i posted here so that others can see that they’re not alone in their experience of various iOS 18 bugs.
