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

I’m aware of that, I’m not an idiot. I put it here and everywhere else because it’s a huge issue that still has not been fixed. It’s obnoxious. Spending $1200 for a phone with really good software only for them to change it for the worse. I’m sharing it with both the company and customers because both look at this forum. Thank you. 🙄

It’s pretty much the same in swedish. The most irritating is the word ”i”, ”jag” in swedish. Everytime i write ”jag” my phone writes ”Kaj” that is a VERY unusual name i sweden.

”I” mean… the word ”i” is a pretty common word in most languages ”i” guess!?

It is horrendous! I have had it change correctly spelt words by inserting new words in the middle of them, resulting in an incorrectly spelt word! It is usually “me” that it tries to insert into a bigger word. Call that “intelligence”? 🤦‍♂️

Selection of words and auto correction in Iphone 15 is the worst function exist ever.

iPhone 15 is there worst iPhone I have had, I regret to buy it.

but there are two good things I can mention the first is that is the heaviest telephone I had in my life so it’s nice because I don’t need to go to gym and the second is permanently hot very very hot so it’s OK because in winter I have no problems.

it's ATROCIOUSLY awful. it was always bad imo, but it really is almost unusable now. it keeps correcting words that were correct to begin with, so i send texts that make no sense even tthough they sure as **** did when I typed them. Particularly embarrassing with work...

please, Apple, don't give us some bs response or explanation or worst of all explain what WE are doing wrong. just FIX IT. Pretty please. :)

SAME !!

I’ve been an Apple user for so many years probably close to 15 years and I’ve never had this problem until now and I use my phone for work that I’m now at the point that I’m considering going to android because it’s that ridiculous and taking 20 minutes to write an email is time consuming and annoying. Fix your stuff Apple or don’t release it, seriously are you trying to push away your customers…….

Same in french.

i.e. It changes possessive determiners to definite determiners, « mes » to « les » and in this case, it’s even more frustrating because it just slightly changes the semantics and the other won’t notice, but won’t neither get the proper sense.

It has been like that since maybe 12-18 months.

Every-Time words become garbled and “-” are inserted randomly. Any answers from Apple? You cannot turn off-this thru turning-off self correct. Im assuming it is an AI glitch. Any other-keyboards download that works-better.

It astonishing how bad it is. Consider ChatGPT’s autocorrect and voice recognition which is almost spooky in how accurate it is. Amazing how far Apple has fallen behind the pack here, and even more astonishing is how, not only do they seem unable to catch up, they’re going backwards

We would have to write in hundreds of words. There’s no guarantee that would even work anyway since this is clearly a bug on apple’s end. It all started with the update the OP was talking about a few months ago and hasn’t been resolved since. I don’t know why people keep leaving the same useless advice about resetting keyboards when that won’t do jack sh*t.

OMG I could have written all these posts, it’s driving me bonkers. I’m also having trouble with the space bar, where a letrrsppearsoinjits space, rendering the wording completelyyunrrsfablesometimes is user error but it usually auto correct not correcting. It’s taking me forever to type messages now.

like the last later, I didn’t. Protective the incorrect productive texts to show has bad it reallly is. (Neither did I correct this, T this rate texting is going to be nigh on impossible 😞

At least yours gets autocorrected into actual words. Mine will often autocorrect into a non English word. I have to use the revert icon to back to the right word. How is it so bad now that it will take a correctly spelled word and turn into actual gibberish? Major flaw for a company like apple.

most auto .orrect (autocorrect) text comes out with some other different combination of words and letters!

i (i.e., capitalization of the first letter in a sentence doesn’t always work—and yes, it is still enabled in settings.

also (see there is another in capitalized letter) the letter i in the middle of a sentence no longer works! i (see again) can no longer use the text properly.

finally, (again) many words and phrases i use when dictating are not cor .etc either!

driving me crazy!

Apple's recent software 'upgrades' have been generally bad. On my Mac it is now much more time consuming and difficult to delete all the junk email I get. I have no idea why they decided to make it hard to delete email!

Also the iPhone constantly inserts '.' in my text in places it makes no sense, autocorrect spells like a drunk 14 year old, Photos no longer let me sync albums with my Mac and see them on the phone, syncing my iPad require about 15 steps for each sync even if I haven't unplugged it in between, and ... just generally user unfriendly!

It RUINED MY PHONE because of this text message issue after IOS 18! I’ve had iPhone for 20 years and have never been so stressed out & angry over a phone because after this update you’re constantly having to correct autocorrect and it’s nothing but a stressful, time consuming, chore to text people now. I’ve never been so livid with a phone & Apple. Why TF did they do that to us & NOT FIX IT?! APPLE FIX THIS ASAP!!
