How to Fix iOS 11.1’s Annoying Autocorrect Bug on iPhone
How to Fix iOS 11.1’s Annoying Autocorrect Bug on iPhone - A strange autocorrect bug has occurred after iOS 11.1 crashed over the last weekend. When you type lowercase "i", it automates with capital "A". And there are several different versions of it. For some, it's autocorrek to A [?].
If you encounter such bugs, you should know that Apple has found out and has issued a statement saying that it will be fixed in the next update. Until then, you should use a text replacement solution.
What really happened
As Jeremy Burge puts it from Emojipedia: "What really happens is that the letter" I "has been added with an invisible character known as Variation Selector 16 when auto-correct kicks in to change the lowercase" i "."
This invisible character is used to give an emoji appearance to the previous character. Correct behavior should be invisible characters ignored altogether. But clearly, it did not happen. Generate this bug.
Learn how you can quickly fix any annoying autocorrect bugs that have occurred after iOS 11.1 updates.
The Text Replacement feature may not fix errors on your device. If so, you can try switching to a third-party keyboard until Apple issues a problem. If you are an advanced user, we recommend that you use a third-party keyboard that offers better productivity features.
Our recommendation is Gboard. It contains emoji suggestions, GIF search, Google search and written gestures built in. But you can also try apps like SwiftKey and Swype.
