I agree - it's annoying - to me, and to others - NOT ALL. (Relax!)
We should have a choice to turn the "underlining" off - simple.
A choice would not hurt Apple, or you - if you like random underlining of texted words!
As I believe has been mentioned in a number of replies earlier, it's not something that can be disabled (at least not unless Apple themselves decides to do it or give us an option to do it).
Seems like it has all been addressed already: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-7-text-message-settings.1638878/page-3#post-21195935

My phone underlines random words , as in "starting" - no time or calendar event needed, wanted. Looks like I am trying to emphasize odd words in my text. Ugh
So? It keep you up at night? Got it off my chest and that's all that mattered to me.
[doublepost=1473021301][/doublepost]Lol, you people saying you don't understand why this could be potentially irritating to some people have to be joking. Obviously, not being able to turn off a feature that you don't particularly care for is annoying. Imagine this... What if you had the option to play music on your phone, but didn't have the option to turn it off when you wanted to. How much would you love that?
Clearly it's not even close to being something like that. While I'm all for options for various things, seems like there's quite a range of how much of an effect something has.
The degree of effect may be lesser, sure. But the point is making user experiences as customizable as possible to suit everyone's preferences. It's the same reason why there's adjustable volume controls, brightness, and so on and so forth. It may not seem important at all to one person to be able to change how bright their screen is, but it may be to another person. Look, all I'm saying here is options are a good thing, because it keeps everyone happy.
And that's fine, I agree about options, it's just not really how things are in iOS to a large enough degree (and certainly not when it comes to a lot of smaller things that are of less impact/consequence), which isn't really anything new or strange at this point.
Haha, yes I did. I don't see why you're surprised people are still replying to your thread, despite it being published three years ago, because I don't think the issue has been fixed yet and that kinda happens a lot on the internet anyway lol.
I know it may be sort of difficult to understand, but for someone with OCD, this feature can actually be more bothersome than you would expect. Although, the degree of effect isn't even all that relevant, nor is everyone having the same opinion on whether it's annoying or not. What is relevant is there are at least a few people who do agree that it is an annoying feature, which they would like to have the option to disable. Honestly, I'm not trying to argue with anyone here. I just wanted to make a point that it's nice to make even the smallest, insignificant-seeming features customizable.
I'm not trying to argue either, simply pointing out that there's what's nice and what basically the reality of it all is. I'm not saying it's good or bad or right or wrong, just how it is.
I understand that you believe it's simply the norm in iOS to not provide certain options, or a wide array of options in general. But from my perspective of reality, it's becoming more important, common, and even expected all the time in this day and age to have these kinds of options at your disposal. Anyway, agree to disagree? Have a good day!
Well, again, I'm all for more options, I'm simply pointing out that's not really the iOS approach in many cases (especially for smaller and less consequential things). Doesn't really seem like there's any disagreement given that I agree with the the idea of more options and that the reality of iOS is what it is (it just what it is whether anyone agrees or disagrees with it).
