Is there a setting to stop Facebook from auto-filling my iPhone text replacements?

I have my iPhone 13's Keyboard Settings OFF for Auto-Correction & for Show Predictions Inline.

I’ve tried setting Predictive Text both ON & OFF & it makes no difference.

For example, I have one setup to automatically type in "Mark Zuckerberg" if I just type "Mark". Even here just now, it automatically typed in the whole thing when I'd only typed "Mark" and then tapped ANY key, not just the spacebar.

HELP!? Please. This drives me nuts. I have a ton of Text Replacements setup and I'm a Facebookaholic.

I agree, your post is hard to follow when you start talking about typing here. Not sure if you are saying that worked or not. Since you identified Facebook, it appears that you are talking about something related specifically to the Facebook app, otherwise you would not have even mentioned it.

As Kurtosis12 said, for any problem specific to Facebook, you would need to contact Meta. They use their own Text Fields for input, instead of the standard UI controls. That has caused many problems for them with issues in the past that were resolved in an update and later resurfaced only to be fixed again in another update. Previously they had a problem with input being blocked by a black rectangle and users posts in the Text box being changed.
