Hundreds of iPhone Users Complain About the Word 'It' Autocorrecting to 'I.T' on iOS 11 and Later

Yes I meant "heart breaking". Number of defects, look and feel of iOS, design choices and over quality of iOS has been downgraded so much in recent years. Of course it used to be way ahead before 5 years, but not now. That is why it is "hear breaking". For one simple example, have you compared notification center between android and iOS?

For your kind knowledge, I am not using any translation tool. Neither I am Apple hater. I still use iphone, macbook, ipad and airpods. But you certainly need to take admission in "primary school" first for being so rude and judgmental to learn some manners. Have a nice day

Still seems to be a translation error, maybe this will help:

The death of a parent, sibling, child, friend, pet or other loved one is heartbreaking.

An iPhone autocorrecting “it” to “I.T.” is not.

There’s a few issues with autocorrect. I’ll type in words that are correct and it’ll change it to something different. Or it’ll just capitalize all the letters in a word. Weird.

Agree. Since iOS 11 both my wife and I have had many autocorrect issues that weren’t there before. Randal capitalization, substitution of every day words with less common forms, etc.
I went so far as to erase my dictionary history yesterday. Will let you know how that goes.
 
Before 11.1 I was getting a slightly different but real annoyance.

Every time I typed “is” the auto corrector changed it to I.S

It's not too much of a pain when autocorrect mis-corrects a word. The real pain is when you backspace a word that iOS has autocorrected wrongly, retype it, only to have iOS autocorrect it wrongly again, and again, and again.

It has got to the point for me, where I have to try and work out how I can trick the system into leaving the word alone.

It's one of the very few things that makes me want to throw my iPhone out the window, it's so frustrating!

Happens on macOS all the time for me. I'd be willing to put down money that auto-correct puts the wrong crap more often than it actually fixing a misspelling.
 
So many great puns, but I'm severely disappointed no one has made a Knights of Ni reference, yet.
 
wow... never seen such a massive issue over a two letter word before.....

You know when it big when its the most common issue :) Auto correct needs work anyway... any common words u type like "door" or "door " the obviously solution is "door step" or door <something> but i'm really wondering why Quicktype does not work better that you must add these to dictionary. even some past tense type words like "deceased" or common words..

No sense of discussing Math problem with English teacher. you better teaching everyone "A", "B", "C", "D"....
 
Genuinely curious. Does it not learn? I've switched to android (only for phone purposes), and Swiftkey will learn how you like to spell things, even if it's not "correct." All you would have to do is tap on "It" (to the left), and next time (or after a few times), it will offer that as the default spelling because it learns your preferences.
 
Oh lord, a small autocorrect bug and posts in this thread are proclaiming the downfall of Apple

Never change, MR
 
iOS 11 is a sad mess... Apple is a mess... So tired of everything being half-baked. Half-baked security on iPhone X, half-backed iOS11 with control center icons that don't even take you to the actual app (like the Timer) from the lock screen, just crashes it.

It's embarrassing. Apple needs some humility desperately.
 
I don't know what it is, but lately the autocorrect has really been wonky. It randomly capitalizes things and seems to make suggestions that really don't make ANY sense. They must be messing around with it, let's hope this is mostly confined to the beta.
 
I feel like these are going to be a trend, with cloud pushed popular phrase autocorrect...
 
I wonder why I never saw this bug and the previous bug (fixed in iOS 11.1.2), until I realized my main software "keyboard" is Google's Gboard app. I like Gboard because its autocorrect works a lot better than Apple's own autocorrect.

Apple is doomed, just like they were since the days they came up with the idea of a silly MP3 player that pretty much every company already had.

I don't think the person was saying that Apple is doomed. But that is an easy way to dismiss any criticism.
