Autocorrect changes good to hood

This is annoying. I didn’t even spell the word incorrectly. Part of the problem is that it will change the word automatically even when I am two or three words past having written “good.” By this time I am not paying attention and I might send a message that has “hood” written instead of “good.” I went into text replacement ins settings and entered that when I type “good” at I mean “good.” It’s annoying and I don’t know why it does this.

Hi 1AppleEachDay,


Thanks for posting in Apple Communities.


Your keyboard dictionary is used when Auto-Correction changes your words. If text replacement is not sufficient as a solution until Auto-correction learns when to use the correct word, you can reset your keyboard dictionary.


  1. "Go to Settings  > General > Reset.
  2. Tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
  3. All custom words and shortcuts are deleted, and the keyboard dictionary returns to its default state."


You can find these steps and additional information in Save keystrokes with text replacements on iPhone.



Regards.
