Does anyone know why my IPhone would be suggesting the word Matthew espinosa when I try to type the word sunshine Confused

It's possible to programme a phone to replace one word with another whenever you type it.
Sounds like one of your children has made your phone do this as a prank?

i just went into whatsapp, and typed sunshine...no alternatives and no auto correct options.

I also typed Matthew Espinosa and that came up correctly first time

This is inconceivable since it CONSISTENTLY replaces for with fúr, and in a four message conversation with ds1 it swapped other for truth, rising for toast, willies for wellies and yes for trees

Wankspangle of a thing.

Who is Matthew Espinosa btw?

This is weird. My child is over 20 and doesn't go on my phone but I will ask her. It's doing it on all my apps I've realised not just WhatsAppConfused very mysterious. It's not often I have to type the word sunshine so it could have been doing this since I got it last year, it's a new phone not second hand so couldn't have been done by a previous owner. According to Google Matthew espinosa is an actor Grin

I've found it in the settings now so can get rid of it but no idea how it got there and why those other ones are automatically in there
