My iphone 8 plus is autocorrecting the letter I to I️. I have tried resetting the keyboard, dismissing the correction many times to unlearn it and turning off my phone. Why is it doing this and how do I make it stop?

Just spoke to Apple Care. There will likely be a device update to permanently fix the issue, but they gave me a temp solve that worked:


  • go to settings, general, keyboard, text replacement
  • hit the plus sign to create a new text replacement
  • in the “phrase” bucket type a lower case “i” and in the shortcut bucket type an upper case “I”; then hit save
  • hit the plus sign to create a second new text replacement
  • in the “phrase” bucket type an upper case “I” and in the shortcut bucket type another upper case “I”; then hit save
