iOS 11.2 Update Fixes 'I.T' Autocorrect Bug

MacRumors said:



iOS 11.2, which was released at midnight on Saturday, appears to fix an autocorrect bug that caused the word "it" to be autocorrected to "I.T" on earlier versions of iOS 11.

Not all users were affected, but those who were saw their keyboards offering up "I.T" as a predictive text suggestion and an automatic autocorrection when typing "it." Some people also saw the word "is" autocorrect to "I.S."

The I.T. autocorrect problem has been around since iOS 11 first launched in September, but not every iPhone user experienced the issue. It appeared to be more limited in scope than a similar autocorrect bug that caused the letter "i" to autocorrect to "A[?]."

The "A[?]" bug was fixed in an iOS 11.1.1 update that was released to the public on November 9.

Reports on Twitter and reddit indicate that the iOS 11.2 update successfully fixes the I.T. autocorrect bug, so affected users should install it immediately.

iOS 11.2 also fixes several other bugs, including a major date-related bug causing crashing starting at 12:15 a.m. on December 2, and it introduces faster 7.5W wireless charging and Apple Pay Cash.

[doublepost=1512293489][/doublepost]Anyone having an issue with bold text where it cuts off text messages? Just undated to newest os and still have the issue.
 
My middle school kid has been trying to type up a paper on the iPad that was afflicted with the A[?] problem and got the update and says it does correct the reported problem, but now introduces new ones when you go back and use Replace All in Google Docs. We are going to buy a chrome book for simple word processing since the Chromebooks at school seem to be free of issues.

Just in the first hour of use, autocorrect seems much better, I think they reverted to previous behavior.

For example, autocorrect doesn’t seem to be suggesting or trying to correct based on pulling words from my iMessage conversations anymore, which it was definitely doing before (for me). Not sure exactly when that started but it was sometime over the last couple of months.

I also haven’t seen any of the random initial capitalizations I was getting before.

So far so good, it does seem much better. I’m able to use the suggested words quite frequently, often after typing the first or second letter of my intended word. And I’m not getting many unwanted/unusable suggestions, which is a welcome change to be sure; it was pretty bad.

Looks like that has been fixed however I am now getting spelling correction suggestions that are either grammatical incorrect or in another language.

Example: I misspelled correction and the replacement was corrections. The misspell ended in “n”.
Example: I misspelled nannied and it was replaced with nana oun. Think it’s Greek.

I am looking at resetting my dictionary if this continues. This just on my IPP at the moment. Oh, and in Safari and on this site :eek:
 
This is just stupid and terrible quality control. Come on Apple, get your **** together. With all the betas I'm surprised this got into production and even then took two minor revisions to get fixed.

I’ve had lots of intermittent problems since upgrading to iOS 11. Really wish I hadn’t bothered to upgrade.

So did you actually update you just see the update being available to you?
 
Is anyone else experiencing cell service issues after updating?

Everyone can hear me fine, but they come through choppy even with full bars.
 
I’ve got a variant of this bizarrely both on iOS 11.2 latest and also High Sierra - I keep on autocorrecting W.E I type “we” to “W.E”. This is really really frustrating. I’ve tried to clear out all the keyboard learning to no avail. Any ideas? Odd its happening on both OS...
 
I have a 6S and the new update messed up my Vibrate settings. They are delayed and not what the usual setting is.
