Typing Words, Autocorrected to wrong words

when I'm typing or swiping to type to text a certain contact, it won't allow me to put the contact name and it keeps autocorrecting it when i do type it out to something different

ex. My husbands contact name is My Love

when I try to swipe my it always puts muy, or even when I type out my it’ll autocorrect it to muy. For live it’s the same thing, it’ll put live instead.

Hi esthela0812,


From the previously article shared, you can reject suggestions with these steps:


"While typing text, you can do either of the following:

  • Accept a suggested word or emoji by tapping it; accept a highlighted suggestion by entering a space or punctuation.
  • When you tap a suggested word, a space appears after the word. If you enter a comma, period, or other punctuation, the space is deleted.
  • Reject the suggestions by tapping your original word (shown as the predictive text option with quotation marks)."

This information is from Use predictive text on iPhone - Apple Support.


Take care.

I do have my autocorrection on, but I do not have any words in my list. It only does it when I’m texting the contact. I can swipe to text right now and it’ll write it, but once I enter the message with the contact it will not do it at all. I can swipe love here and in the messages it’ll swipe live, loved, anything but love because the contact name is love. It only started doing this once Apple had the update where if you type the contact name in their message to them, it highlights it and makes it bold. I hope this makes sense!! I wish I could show this somehow
