I bought my iPhone 4S in the United States, however, even though I have set my keyboard to British English it continues to autocorrect simple things I type such as "colour" back to "color". Everything else on my iPhone is also set back to UK setting as well: language, voice control, region format, etc.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7
Go into Settings > General > Keyboard and turn off Auto-Correction and Check Spelling.
With those off, click on Keyboards and verify that your keyboard is English (UK). If it is, click Add New Keyboard and change it to English (Australia) and then restart your device.
After restarting your device, go back into Settings > General > Keyboard and change your keyboard back to English (UK) and turn Auto-Correction and Check Spelling back on.

Make sure you set it to English (UK). If you really have one called "British English", I don't think it will work right.
As well as the keyboard stuff you should also ensure Settings/General/International/Language/British English is set and Settings/General/International/Region Format is set to United Kingdom too.

Can't hurt, but autocorrect/spellcheck depends only on the keyboard, nothing else.
I had this problem, too. Tom Gewecke is correct. Changing the keyboard to British only affects the layout. You need to Add New Keyboard-> English (UK), and you also need to change the language to British English. I am in Jamaica, and with my Region Format set to Janaica, everything now works fine and I can type "colour" with it no longer being autocorrected to the US spelling.
Trying to change keyboard to British English?
