After IOS11 Update - Autocorrect changes "it" to "I.t"?

My phone has miraculously fixed this issue. I attribute it to me literally typing and autocorrecting the word dozens of times and then sending texts to myself. This remedy didn’t happen after just a single attempt, but it did clear up.

Now my iPad still has the issue because I don’t text or type quite at the volume I do with the phone, but it’s on the agenda to try and correct as well.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 11.0.3 and that fixed the problem.

Someone could be pranking you, by adding a keyboard auto-replace shortcut for that.

Look here General->Keyboards->Text Replacement

It is probably just an error on Apple's end. iOS 11 is still very buggy and will take a little time to fix as it was such a big update

Mine has been doing the same with the word “we”, my phone keeps correcting it to W.E and it’s really driving me bananas. I’ve tried resetting the dictionary, making text shortcuts, installing the latest patch and force resetting my phone, nothing is working.... But I am half glad to know it’s an error on apples part, saves me the hassle of trying to figure out what on earth I’d done wrong!

To clarify, I didn’t allow the phone to autocorrect but I hit the button on the left of the predictive text that just says “it”. Over and over and over, then I would send the text to an email address associate to my Apple ID as an iMessage. So my wife didn’t think i was crazy for sending her dozens of “it” s in a text.

Mine has stopped out of the blue and I can now type “we” freely. I think it must just be some issue with the iOS update not recognising two letter words and thinking they need to be altered. I’m sorry I can’t offer a solution, I think patience is key here unfortunately.

You’re not crazy. My phone has been doing the sameness thing with “I.T”

I’ve tried resetting the keyboard dictionary and everything I could. It is infuriating.

Same here with the word is autocorrecting to I.S

iPhone 6S and 6Splus

Mine is changing "is" to "I.S". It’s driving me crazy. Cannot find a fix. That's a word I use a lot!

I’ve tried typing “is”, sending texts to myself with the corrected word by hitting the suggestion probably close to 100 times but it’s still autocorrecting to I.S 😤 hope Apple fix this soon
