How do I customise autocorrect for specific language settings on my iPhone 14 Pro

I haven’t found any way to turn off this feature and to only have one language at a time. Is it possible?

It should be no problem to go back to monolingual keyboards if the new bilingual ones do not work the way you want. See if this note helps. Let us know how it goes (some users have found that even monolingual autocorrect has gotten worse in ios18).

Generalizing Autocorrect features without providing specific examples of incorrect corrections made by an iPhone can be challenging because Autocorrect is designed to work contextually rather than solely on individual words.

Autocorrect uses machine learning and language models to analyze the context of a sentence before making corrections. This means that it doesn't just replace misspelled words with their closest dictionary matches; instead, it attempts to predict the intended meaning based on sentence structure, common phrases, and user typing patterns.

For example, if you type "I an going to the store," Autocorrect is likely to change "an" to "am" because "I an" is not a common phrase, while "I am" makes grammatical sense. Similarly, if you type "Their going to the park," it may correct "Their" to "They're" based on the sentence's context.

However, this context-aware approach can sometimes lead to incorrect corrections if the system misinterprets intent. For instance, if you frequently use slang, abbreviations, or non-standard spellings, Autocorrect may try to "fix" them in ways that don’t align with your intended meaning. Additionally, if a word is valid in multiple contexts (e.g., "its" vs. "it's"), Autocorrect may choose the wrong one based on its prediction model.

Thus, while Autocorrect is generally useful, its effectiveness depends on both the accuracy of Apple's language model and the specific way an individual types.
